Thankfully, however, Elden Ring was able to launch without major issues and became an incredible success.It did have to deal with a few hacking issues though, after an infamous Dark Souls hacker appeared in Elden Ring and forced illegal items into players’ inventories, causing them to be banned. Even weirder, the game’s secret underwear was also being used by trolls to get other players banned.Every IGN FromSoftware Game ReviewRyan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer.
