FromSoftware and Bandai Namco seem to have collaborated pretty efficiently, as their action RPG called ‘Elden Ring’ gained notoriety pretty fast after its release at the beginning of the current year. Players not only have the possibility to customize the appearance of their character. They can also combine the elements that they have at their disposal to develop their own character the way they want it.
