Tencent Creating a Mobile Version of Elden Ring, Claims Report
Feb. 6, 2024Elden Ringhas become a worldwide phenomenon over the years, and it is unsurprising to see gamers and even companies still taking an interest in it. More notably, it is now being claimed that Tencent Games is taking an active interest in creating a mobile version of Elden Ring. Over the years, the Chinese publisher has adapted popular titles like PUBG, Call of Duty, etc., into hit mobile games, and it seems they want to carry forward that legacy with Elden Ring.
Some additional takeaways from the report include Tencent’s intention to make it afree-to-play game. Elden Ring on consoles and PCs holds a $60 price tag. However, Tencent wants to recreate the success of their previous free-to-play premium titles, as that might get them their required profits.
The RPG has gained worldwide critical acclaim for its beautiful world design and gameplay. And that has enamored gamers across the world. This is not the first time Tencent has unsuccessfully tried recreating big-budget video games into free-to-play mobile games. As per the same report, a project based on theNier franchisewas canceled over monetary concerns. That game was in two years of development before getting the axe.
It is also worth noting that judging the nature of Elden Ring, it barely makes sense to be a free-to-play title. For starters, the game is an open-world action RPG where you create your character and explore the island, emphasizing player invasion and cooperation.
