While fiddling with the facial customization settings in the game, one Elden Ring fan accidentally made their player character bear a striking resemblance to Tom Cruise. With how advanced character creators have become in modern RPGs as of late, it's no wonder that players have been able to recreate the likenesses of popular celebrities in video games like Elden Ring, even when not intending to do so.

Over the last two years, fans have shared a number of amazing creations they made in Elden Ring to celebrate their love for the title. However, the things that fans have created weren't always made intentionally, like in the case of this latest happy accident.

Reddit user Dirtyfactz shared an image on the r/Eldenring subreddit of a player character they recently designed that ended up looking surprisingly similar to the famous Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise. Seeing how they unintentionally managed to nail the celebrity's likeness so well in Elden Ring's character creator, Dirtyfactz jokingly stated that they guess they're going to do «a Tom Cruise playthrough now.» Many Redditors found the character design hilarious, with commenters like utilitarity and 20000BCEfan cracking jokes and renaming the FromSoftware title as «Elden Ring Maverick» and «Mission Impossible: Elden Protocol», respectively.
