It is said that Elden Ring is one of the games of our life. FromSoftware’s experience in open-world games is massively overwhelming to the point that many players assume that the studio’s soulslike concept has reached its peak in this work, but what if I tell you that there is still another way to play RPG? A player who loves the work of the Japanese team has created a playable version of Elden Ring in Microsoft Excel called Excelden Ring.
This peculiar project has been developed by the user brighty360 and has been shared on the subreddit dedicated to Elden Ring. Players who have already completed the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and are looking for a new way to relive the experience will find in Excelden Ring an interesting challenge, although with the limitations inherent in a spreadsheet.
In Excelden Ring, players can create a character by choosing from three different classes and explore a map consisting of more than 90,000 Excel cells. The WASD keys allow movement through this world, interacting with objects and characters using the E key. Throughout the game, it is possible to find weapons, armors, complete missions, and defeat enemies to gain experience and improve the avatar’s stats.

However, the game still lacks final bosses, while combat against the rest of the enemies is resolved, logically, turn-based. However, the project creator has promised that bosses, both secondary and main, will be added in future updates. Despite this limitation, Excelden Ring already offers a content-rich experience, with cinematic scenes based on the original game’s conceptual art and multiple endings depending on the player’s decisions.

As expected, the community has enthusiastically received this ingenious recreation of Elden Ring. The creators are open to receiving suggestions to improve the game, and hope that the gaming community enjoys and actively participates in the development of this unusual homage to the acclaimed RPG.
FromSoftware has announced a salary increase for its employees
Alongside this curious way to play Elden Ring, and as a result of this RPG, FromSoftware announced last week an average salary increase of 11.8% for its employees, which will come into effect in April 2025. This measure aims to acknowledge the efforts of its team and improve working conditions, in line with the company’s strategy to strengthen its commitment to its workers. In addition, new employees who join the company will also see an increase in their starting salary.
