Elden Ring: The Board Game Sets to Hit Retail Later This Year, Pre-Orders Open Now

Steamforged Games has announced the retail release of three board game sets inspired by FromSoftware’s acclaimed video game Elden Ring. Following the success of their 2022 Kickstarter campaign, which raised over £4.7 million from more than 14,000 backers, the company confirmed that Elden Ring: The Board Game will be available in stores on March 31st, 2025.

The three sets—Realm of the Grafted King, Weeping Peninsula, and Stormveil Castle—are designed to function as standalone campaigns or as interconnected adventures. Pre-orders for these sets will open today, allowing fans to secure their copies ahead of the release.

The board game aims to capture the essence of the video game, immersing 1-4 players in the dark and sprawling world of the Lands Between. Players take on the role of the Tarnished, exploring iconic locations, encountering familiar characters, and engaging in tactical combat against deadly enemies. Each set features a connected narrative, enabling players to create their own stories within the game’s rich lore.

Realm of the Grafted King offers the most extensive campaign, spanning over 50 hours of gameplay. Weeping Peninsula and Stormveil Castle each provide more than 20 hours of replayable content. All three sets can be combined for a larger, interconnected adventure, offering players a variety of ways to experience the game.

The gameplay features a card-driven combat system with a unique grid-based mechanic, requiring players to strategize and collaborate to overcome challenges. From battling lowly Godrick Soldiers to facing the formidable Grafted King, the game promises to deliver a challenging and immersive experience.

Steamforged Games is known for its high-quality miniatures, and the Elden Ring board game is no exception. The sets include intricately detailed figures that bring the world of Limgrave to life, from the Tarnished heroes to the monstrous bosses.

In addition to the core sets, Steamforged has introduced exclusive Mega Boss expansions, including Flying Dragon Agheel and Erdtree Avatar. These expansions add new bosses, enemies, and equipment, as well as a mounted combat mechanic. Orders that include these expansions will ship separately, starting April 24th, 2025.
