Game Boy-Style Demake of Elden Ring Is Now Available
Despite millions looking forward to its release, many probably didn't foresee just how huge Elden Ring would be when it came out in February. In fact, it went on to become one of the highest rated video games of all time, currently sitting at number 34 on Metacritic's best games ever list, just above Mass Effect 2 and Skyrim.

This is one that will almost certainly be intriguing for fans of both the game and the 1980s handheld device.

It should be pointed out that this demake just includes the Limgrave region and not the full game, though Shin has said they would like to add more in the future if they can.
