Steamforged Games announces it will bring Elden Ring to the tabletop in the official board game adaptation.  

Steamforged Games is developer and publisher of Dark Souls: The board and card game, Monster Hunter World: The board game, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game and Resident Evil board games. The company has now added Elden Ring to its board game portfolio.

Mat Hart, co-founder and chief creative officer at Steamforged Games, said: “Elden Ring is a stunning, genre-defining video game, and we are humbled and privileged to be bringing it to tabletops. To say our team is passionate about the game would be an understatement.”

He added: “Our mission is to deliver authentic tabletop adaptations that capture the essence of what fans know and love about the IP. Fans should expect a dark, richly-realised tabletop world of mystery and peril, with satisfying combat and rewarding exploration. They should prepare to lose hours to this game, and to be glad about it.”

Steamforged Games has a well-established record of faithfully adapting video games into unforgettable tabletop experiences, and Elden Ring will continue this tradition.

Elden Ring’s adventures in the vast and seamless world of the Lands Between have gripped video gamers and wowed reviewers since its release in February this year, with sales surpassing 16.6m worldwide.

Like the video game, the Elden ring board game will immerse players in the forsaken Lands Between. In a vast, sprawling world of decaying grandeur that unfolds through their exploration, one to four players can embark on a huge and varied adventure, visiting iconic locations and crossing paths with familiar enemies and characters.

The video game’s characteristically challenging fights will be recreated by intelligent dice-free combat, requiring players to strategise and adapt their plans during each encounter whether that be with a lowly Godrick Soldier or the Grafted King himself.

Steamforged will launch the Elden Ring board game on Kickstarter, with the date to be announced soon. More details will be shared in the lead-up to the launch.

The Elden Ring board game marks Steamforged’s sixth time partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. following the establishment of the relationship in 2016 with Dark Souls :The board game. Steamforged’s first sizable crowdfunding campaign for this title ran on Kickstarter in 2016 and became one of the highest-funded campaigns in the history of the platform at over $5m.

Aâdil Tayouga, director of licensing & business strategy at Bandai Namco Europe welcomes the announcement and commented: “Steamforged Games has been a partner for several years and has shown dedication in creating qualitative products faithful to our IP. We are very happy to announce this new collaboration and are looking forward to fans exploring Elden Ring universe as a tabletop game.”
