help Elderborn FAQ
Is Elderborn basically Dark Souls in first person?
It is often described that way: Hyperstrange's 2020 game combines first-person melee with stamina-based, soulslike combat and stat-driven RPG progression. Critics usually compare it to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and 1990s FPS-RPG hybrids like Hexen rather than to shooters.
Does Elderborn have multiplayer or co-op?
No, Elderborn is a single-player-only experience. Hyperstrange built it as a solo campaign of first-person melee combat and exploration rather than a co-op or PvP title.
When did Elderborn leave Early Access?
After a period in Steam Early Access, Elderborn reached its full 1.0 release in January 2020, developed and published by the Polish studio Hyperstrange. It is available on PC via Steam.
How long does Elderborn take to beat?
Most players report roughly eight to twelve hours for a first playthrough, depending on difficulty and how thoroughly they explore. Its RPG-style stat upgrades and skill tree encourage experimenting with different melee builds on repeat runs.
