Released two years ago, Elden Ring made waves in the gaming world with its base game and the recently released expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. However, the game is now making headlines for an unprecedented reason—a player is preparing to sue developer FromSoftware, claiming the game is too difficult.
Elden Ring Player Serious About Lawsuit
In a surprising turn of events, an Elden Ring fan is reportedly gearing up to file a lawsuit against FromSoftware with an unusual claim. The player alleges that Elden Ring contains a hidden game within it, which is inaccessible due to its extreme difficulty. Essentially, the player is not only complaining about the game’s difficulty but also claiming that hidden games are embedded within the main titles.
Here’s what the player shared on the 4chan platform:
“Only two months remain from today. On September 25, 2024, Bandai Namco Games will face my lawsuit regarding Elden Ring in court. According to my claim, we’re only playing half of FromSoftware’s games, with an entirely new game hidden within. However, this hidden content is so difficult that even the most dedicated fans can’t access it.”
As stated in the player’s message, the court date is set for September 25, 2024. The plaintiff also claims that FromSoftware’s other titles, such as Sekiro and Bloodborne, contain similar hidden content.
The plaintiff believes that the “cut content” often discovered by data miners is actually part of this hidden game. However, the player has yet to present any evidence, such as code or documentation, to support the existence of this secret game, at least in the discussions on 4chan forums.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the upcoming lawsuit has already generated considerable interest. It remains to be seen whether the player will be able to substantiate these claims in court.
