"Elden Ring," the recently-launched "Souls" game at the moment, has already succeeded in gaining traction from the crowd. Through its rich gameplay and story, fans were quick to judge that this adventure game has some promising features to look for.
Recently, some users noticed that FromSoftware's game has some connection to the famous manga "Berserk." The Sword Memorial on the game is believed to be a tribute to the late mangaka Kentaro Miura.
'Berserk' Reference in 'Elden Ring'
"Berserk" fans are quick to spot the infamous memorial reference on "Elden Ring." This was believed to be a tribute to its late creator Kentaro Miura.
Anime Galaxy Official reported that there was a YouTuber who uploaded a controversial video last week. The clip entitled "Elden Ring: Possible Memorial To Miura/Berserk," has over 870,000 views at the moment
For "Berserk" fans, this location is a good way to commemorate the works of illustrator and author Miura, who passed away last year. As seen on the video, the "Hill of Swords" is a clear sign that "Elden Ring" deeply respects "Berserk," according to some fans.
In addition, it best depicts Guts, the protagonist of the Euro-inspired dark fantasy manga, through his "Dragonslayer" sword. According to one user, this reference is undoubtedly from "Berserk" because this is an iconic spot for Guts' crew.
"Now, Guts didn't die, but the author of Berserk did. So this is more of a memorial to him, Kentaro Miura, and an ode to a place within Berserk. RIP Miura, you will be missed. And thank you, Miyazaki, for giving us this incredible series", the commenter continued.
So far, we haven't heard any confirmation from FromSoftware that this memorial site was indeed inspired by Miura's "Berserk." One thing is certain: fans hope to see the remastered version of the anime someday.
