Which publisher released Elden Ring?

Bandai Namco Entertainment published Elden Ring.

Bandai Namco handled the game’s publishing and distribution, while FromSoftware developed it. The partnership continued the companies’ collaboration on the Dark Souls series and helped bring Elden Ring to consoles and Windows worldwide.

The game launched on February 25, 2022, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. Bandai Namco also published the later Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Players sometimes identify FromSoftware as the publisher because it is the creative studio most associated with the title. The distinction is straightforward: FromSoftware made the game, and Bandai Namco Entertainment released and published it in collaboration with the studio.
