Logan in Elden Ring – What Does FromSoft Have Up Its Sleeve Now?
Elden Ring, which also happens to be FromSoftware’s best-selling franchise to date, came out back in 2022. However, it is just now that fans are realizing the game contains an Easter egg, paying homage to none other than Wolverine.
“It’s a breath of fresh air compared to other games”: Not Elden Ring’s Combat, the Environment or the Story, but 1 Other Feature, Or Lack Thereof, is Getting Praised
As pointed out by a user on the game’s official Reddit forum, there is an NPC named Logur, Beast of Claw, found in the newShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. Not only does his name closely resemble Logan, which is Wolverine’s real name, but he also has claws, which can be obtained after defeating him.
There could have been no better time to introduce this NPC than now, bearing in mind that the much-anticipatedDeadpool & Wolverinetitle is releasing soon on June 01, 2025.
There are ultimately other easter eggs in the game that reference differentpieces of pop culture media, likeBerserk. But nothing beatsHidetaka Miyazakiadding a direct reference to a character just before the release of its movie.
Elden Ring References – Details Subtly Hidden by Hidetaka Miyazaki
Ever since its release back in 2022, the game as a whole has often been dubbed as a close reference to the famous Japanese manga series,Berserkby Kentaro Miura.
“FromSoft just pretend it never happened”: Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree Still Didn’t Answer 1 Question It Originally Gave Players
From having weapons and items that allow the tarnished to transform into Guts himself to fans debating if the character of Miquella is basedsolely on the character of Griffith, we have seen it all.
Furthermore, there is also an indirect reference toGeorge R. R. Martin’sGame of Thronesseries that can be found in the game. Being a co-writer ofElden Ring, The Lands Between was inevitably going to pay homage to the author in one way or the other, and it was done by adding a Greatsword that represents the iconicGame of Throneschair featured in the series.
Miyazaki is ultimately a master in subtly hiding details around his level design, which is why fans keep finding easter eggs andeven mechanics years after the release of a Souls game, ensuring the longevity aspect of a title.
