Elden Ring LEAK: Every Gameplay Detail You Need To Know
5. Classes, Character Creation & Combat
Unlike in Sekiro, where your character was fixed, Elden Ring will once again allow you to customise your character.
While they aren't specifically detailed, there are said to be selectable classes for your character, each of which is tied to a particular covenant. Depending on which of these you pick will determine which kingdom you start in, as each is affiliated with a particular one.
The combat of Elden Ring also sounds like a hybrid of all the other games that came before it. Power stances are said to make a return (as seen in DS3) and the switch weapons from Bloodborne are also allegedly making an appearance.
Levelling up is said to be like Dark Souls but 'more layered', with a talent tree also in place. This is an interesting addition, as this may imply that the game includes several new skills to unlock.
There's also said to be a jump button, but it is more akin to the jump in Dark Souls than the one seen in Sekiro. It's described as 'heavy and clunky' and can be used to traverse ledges as well as solve puzzles.
