Elden Ring: Game set for unofficial VR mod

Elden Ring is set to get a VR mod in the coming months!

Why you would want to head into the Lands Between and imagine that you are actually one of the Tarnished is beyond us, because of the myriad horrors that are lurking in the shadows.

Of course, there are a number of enemies that you’ll be fighting throughout your journey, and doing so while imagining that you’re there feels like the kind of thing that isn’t for the faint of heart.

But now, per Road to VR, one modder is set to bring unofficial VR support to From Software’s latest epic.

Luke Ross is a well-known name in the VR community and, per the report, has previously brought VR support to the likes of GTA V, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Cyberpunk 2077.

He’s now working on Elden Ring and a preview has been dropped on his YouTube channel.

It shows the player in the game’s opening area, the Chapel of Anticipation, before crossing the bridge and coming face-to-face with the Grafted Scion.

Ross has confirmed that the first version of the mod is set to come out by the end of next week, while he has warned that “VR legs” need to be kept in shape.

VR legs, of course, refer to the discomfort that players can feel from spending too much time in VR games.

Of course, Elden Ring can take hundreds of hours to complete, so strap in, but Ross has thought of the potential of how such animations as rolling will work within the mod.

He said: “When rolling or performing other scripted animations like the combat moves, the camera follows the character’s head (so its position changes) but it remains oriented correctly according to what your head is doing in real life. So the horizon will stay level and the world will always look stable.”
