It’s been over three months since Elden Ring launched, and the hype is finally starting to fade. Not only has the number of players dropped significantly from its peak, but the game’s sales revenue is also leveling off. Right now, aside from some streamers and gamers trying out weird and creative ways to beat Elden Ring to grab attention, there’s not much new to discuss about the game.
But recently, Elden Ring made headlines again in a way no one expected. It all started when players spotted a mobile version of the hit game on the App Store. The background images and the description looked exactly like the PC version of Elden Ring. This led many to wonder if Bandai Namco had quietly released a mobile version without any announcement.
Taking a closer look, the game was actually called Elden Ring R. That’s when many suspected it was a fake version. Plenty of gamers downloaded it to try it out, only to be disappointed when they reached the character selection screen. It was a classic case of “all hype, no delivery.” The game played like a typical grind-heavy mobile title, with nothing but the Elden Ring wallpaper and a similar description to fool players.
This isn’t the first time fake Elden Ring games have popped up on the App Store. Back in March, several knockoffs with names like Elion Ring and Eilen Ring appeared, only to be removed shortly after.
