AnElden Ringplayer has gone viral after farming over half a million Runes (in-game currency) and gifting them to their partner.

The post was uploaded toRedditwhere it has already gathered close to 60,000 upvotes (at the time of writing) and almost 100 different awards for its general wholesomeness. It seems that while the husband in question was at work, his partner logged into Elden Ring and gathered 512,387 Runes for him to enjoy once he returned, after only having 12,000 Runes to begin with.

In T3’sElden Ring review, we said that: “Elden Ring is exactly the tight, action game fans of Souls genre have been pining for, even if its high barrier to entry may put off newcomers.” I’m currently 60 hours into the FromSoftware game and could use a handy half a million Runes to take on a boss or two.

Elden Ring has only been out a few weeks but it has alreadysold more than Spider-Man: Miles Moraleswith over 12 million sales. It makes sense considering critical consensus pushedElden Ring to join Zelda and GTAas one of the highest-rated games in history.

Meanwhile, publisher Bandai Namco has announced that it looks to expand the Elden Ring IP “beyond the realm of games”. So does that mean we’re getting an Elden Ring TV show or movie? Or is this just an unusual way to announce a sequel? We’ll have to wait and see.
