Good news, Tarnished, it looks like FromSoftware is now the sole owner of the Elden Ring IP

When FromSoftware originally delivered the wonderful, twisted baby Elden Ring, it did so with some help from Bandai Namco, which served as a co-publisher and, at that point, was a co-holder of the game’s IP.

On the listings for Elden Ring, they’ve spotted an update showing that the ownership of this trademark was officially transferred over to FromSoftware as of April 2023.

It wasn’t clear at the time whether this would refer to FromSoft’s own games, or those of other, smaller studios.
