Elden Ringwas released almost three years ago now, and the game retains a dedicated fanbase online. The game has a ton of replayability, even for a FromSoftware title. In the years since its launch, this community has shared tons of amazing fan creations. Some, like thisElden Ringisometric reimagining, take place in-game, while others showcase fans' creativity in real life. There was even oneElden Ringfan who made aShadow of the Erdtree-inspired level in Unreal Engine 5, showing how gamers are taking inspiration from the game in their own artwork.
Redditor fanica98 shared a set of images online, which depict the world ofElden Ringfrom a top-down isometric perspective. These aren’t paintings - they’re actual screenshots in-game, which according to fanica98, were created with “Camera manipulation and other tweaks.” It really puts into perspective how stunningElden Ring’s open-world mapis, and how varied its appearance can be in certain areas. It works extremely well, and it’s amazing to see how much detail is retained from such a distance.
This is What Elden Ring Looks Like From a Top-Down Perspective
The post instantly drew comparisons to other isometric titles such asBaldur’s GateandPillars of Eternity, while one user pointed out that it had the dark and dreary vibe ofDisco Elysium. There was even a mention of the originalStronghold. That seems like a rogue comparison on the surface, but it’s definitely fair looking at the castle architecture. When asked whether they plan to do the same thing forElden Ring’s DLC, fanica98 responded, “I am waiting for a good sale on the DLC and I definitely plan to repeat the project once I finish it.”
After the release ofElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree,FromSoftware has yet to reveal its next game. While gamers will speculate about whether it’s anElden Ringsequel or something entirely different, the truth is that no one knows until the studio speaks for itself. The possibilities for what the future holds are endless, so hopefully FromSoftware can deliver an exciting followup toElden Ring, sequel or not. The studio is on a real hot streak at the moment afterShadow of the Erdtree, one that it will look to continue.
