Elden Ring: Exploring New Ways to Play

With the release of the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring players are pushing the boundaries of how games can be played. The creativity and dedication of this community never fail to amaze. Whether it's speedruns, challenge runs, or using innovative technology, there's always something new and exciting happening.


Pushing the Limits with Technology

Take Twitch streamer Perrikaryal, for example. She's not just playing the game with a controller or keyboard; she's playing it with her mind. That's right! Using a Bluetooth portable EEG reader, she analyzes her brain activity and converts these signals into game inputs. Combine this with an eye-tracker, and she's performing rolls, attacks, and more just by thinking about them. This technique is not just fascinating but also showcases the potential of brain-computer interfaces in gaming.


If you're curious about how this all works, you can watch this explanation clip on Twitch. Perrikaryal’s stream gives a glimpse into what the future of gaming might look like—a future where the mind is the most powerful tool of all.


The Emotional Impact of Innovation

Such innovation inspires not just awe but also a deep emotional response. These advancements suggest that there are no limits to creativity in games. It's a reminder of why we love this medium so much. Games like Elden Ring provide a canvas for exploration—not just of worlds but of the very ways in which we engage with those worlds.


The DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, promises more than just new content. It promises new experiences, new stories, and most importantly, new ways to connect with the game and its community. If you're not already excited about this, you should be. There's so much potential here, and we can’t wait to see what players come up with next.
