As FromSoftware’s newest dark fantasy RPG, and as the current culmination of the Soulslike sub-genre created by the studio to date, **Elden Ring ** contains several different examples of cut content. Some pieces of cut content in Elden Ring ’s game files are minor assets such as clothing, consumable items, and non-player characters of varying friendliness. There are also a surprising number of quest-lines cut from Elden Ring before its main release. Finally, there are extant enemies and armor sets in Elden Ring that are fully-realized versions of cut content from older games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls

Within Elden Ring 's game files rests an impressive amount of cut content - assets, descriptions, and dialogue for outfits, weapons, game mechanics, and even quest-lines. Some of these assets may, like the once-cut content above, be revisited in future FromSoftware games . Alternately, a good chunk of these assets may be patched back into Elden Ring with future updates or DLCs, granting players access to new areas, new challenges, and even new endi
There are files of voice-acted dialogue for an incomplete quest centered around an NPC named Asimi. Based on the dialogue, this Asimi would have been a Mimic Tear creature found in one of Elden Ring 's underground regions, freshly sentient and afraid of death. After accepting her offer to 'merge' with the Tarnished character, Elden Ring players could have helped this Mimic Tear complete her personal quest-line (much like players can do with the NPC Latenna in Elden Ring 's base game). The resolution of this quest, for good or ill, might have been how players originally gained access to the Mimic Tear Spirit Ash, the most versatile of Elden Ring 's summoning opti
