Elden Ring, the highly anticipated action role-playing game from FromSoftware, is set to release on February 25th, 2022. The game has been shrouded in mystery for years, with few details released about its plot or characters. However, as the release date draws closer, more information has begun to emerge about the game’s cast of characters. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the Elden Ring characters that have been revealed so far.
The Player Character
Like many FromSoftware games, Elden Ring will allow players to create their own character, who will serve as the protagonist of the game’s story. Little is known about the player character, but we do know that they are a Tarnished, an outcast who has been banished from the grace of the Elden Ring. The Tarnished are said to have lost their memories and their purpose, but they are given a new chance at redemption when they discover the power of the Elden Ring. As the player character, you will explore the world of Elden Ring, battle against powerful foes, and uncover the mysteries of this strange and dangerous realm.
Erlang Shen
One of the most intriguing characters revealed in Elden Ring is Erlang Shen, a wolf-like creature who serves as a guardian of the Elden Ring. Erlang Shen is said to be a “god of the hunt,” and is described as a fierce and loyal protector. It’s not yet clear what role Erlang Shen will play in the game’s story, but it’s likely that the player character will encounter him at some point on their journey.
Marika
Another Elden Ring character that has been revealed is Marika, a mysterious woman who serves as the game’s merchant. Marika is described as a shrewd trader who has made her fortune selling relics and artifacts from the ruins of the Elden Ring. It’s not yet clear what relationship Marika will have with the player character, but her presence in the game suggests that there will be an emphasis on exploration and item discovery.
The Demigods
The Demigods are a group of powerful beings who rule over the various regions of the game world. Each Demigod is said to have their own unique personality and motivations, and players will need to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries between them. Some of the Demigods that have been revealed so far include:
- Erdtree, the god of the earth, who is said to be a wise and just ruler.
- Grace, the goddess of the sky, who is described as a fierce and unpredictable warrior.

Some of the characters that have been teased in trailers and other promotional material include a group of knights who serve as the player character’s allies, a mysterious woman who is seen weaving a tapestry, and a fearsome dragon that the player character must battle.
