Elden Ring is so detailed, its NPCs accurately play their instruments
We're amazed at how much w✨ork went into animating this one character

An Elden Ring fan has brought attention to a🅷 highly detailed NPC who accurately moves according to the 🦹song it's playing.
As pointed out by on YouTube (and shared by on Twitter) 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring is so detailed that one of the Nomadic Merchants playing an instrument in the game accurat🌜ely moves their hand according to the song they’re playing. You can see this breathtaking detail in action below.
[Sound on!] People complain about recycled animations in Elden Ring while FROMSOFTWARE is out here hand-animating the fingers manually hitting every note on the song played on this NPC's instrument perfectly. Absolutely beautiful effort on such a tiny scale🅷. pic.twitter.com/Cs09wn3K1C
This small but mighty animation is a perfect example of how reusing assets during game development - as pointed out by various other developers upon Elden Ring’s release - doesn't always mean the final product will be lower quality. As pointed out in @manfightdragon’s tweet, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware appears to have gone above and beyond to give its characters life with tiny details that will most꧟ probably be missed by most players.
Since Elden Ring’s release back in February, there’s been an abundance of fan discoveries made in the game, with new things being found every day. Some of our recent favorites include the fan who realized that Elden Ring spell damage changes with the weather, another who uncovered that Rainbow Stones can help you avoid fall damage, and, potentially our most favourite, one who theorized that George R.R. Martin’s childhood pets may have inspired the Tortoise Priest.
In other Elden Ring news, it was recently revealed that FromSoftware plans to take the action-rpg outside of the world of gaming. Publisher 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco’s CEO Yasuo Miyakawa said in a press release that Elden Ring was just the start of a franchise that will extend "beyond the game itself." So loo๊k forward to some more E๊lden Ring content as time goes on.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became ꦚa Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
