From Software's critically acclaimed Elden Ringwill be Watch Woman Living in A Motel Room Onlinea free-to-play mobile title, according to a report fromReuterson Monday. Chinese tech giant Tencent reportedly acquired the rights to develop the game for smartphones, which will include in-app purchases.
SEE ALSO: You can now play 'Death Stranding' on iPhone. Here’s how to get it.Elden Ring, a 2022 Game of the Year winner, will be the latest AAA game to be ported to phones. Tencent has invested a considerable amount of money into the space, along with other titles like Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile. The company also owns a 16 percent stake in From Software, so this deal was inevitable.
This doesn't mean things are smooth sailing for Tencent, which faces a tough battle in the mobile/free-to-play space against developers like miHoYo (Genshin Impact) and NetEase (Egg Party). Tencent shelved its Apex Legendsmobile game last year, which it developed in collaboration with EA. It also shuttered a game based on the Nier franchise, too. On top of that, the royalty fees taken by Apple can fall anywhere between 15 and 20 percent, alongside a 30 percent commission.
According to Reuters, Tencent plans on introducing in-app purchases into its Elden Ring port "similar to" Genshin Impact. It's an interesting choice since Elden Ringis largely lauded for its masterful and dense single-player experience that may not translate well to the mobile space.
Death Stranding, another critically acclaimed, single-player game with pseudo-multiplayer mechanics, recently launched on iOS devices to mixed reviews due to some significant performance issues.
There's no rumored release date for this port yet.
