Tencent Reportedly Developing Elden Ring Mobile Game

Chinese tech giant aims to transform the acclaimed action RPG into a free-to-play mobile title with in-app purchases, drawing inspiration from Genshin Impact.

Tencent acquired licensing rights for Elden Ring in 2022, planning a mobile adaptation with a free-to-play model and in-app purchases.
Development of the mobile version has been slow, facing challenges in adapting the game's intricate design to a free-to-play format.
Fans and experts express skepticism and concern over the potential impact of microtransactions on the game's integrity.
The mobile game aims to capitalize on Elden Ring's success, which sold over 20 million copies, by targeting the lucrative mobile gaming market.
Tencent's previous attempts at mobile adaptations of major titles have faced challenges, including scrapped projects and monetization concerns.
