Last month, publisher Namco Bandai took down its online player-versus-player servers for all PC Dark Souls games after players found a serious vulnerability that allowed for remote execution of malicious code on an opponent's computer. While a Reddit user who publicly identified that issue said the exploit would also work on Namco Bandai's upcoming Elden Ring, the publisher is now assuring players that the highly anticipated title will be protected.
"We have extended the investigation to Elden Ring... and have made sure the necessary security measures are in place for this title on all target platforms," Namco Bandai wrote in a tweet Wednesday morning.
The wording of that statement suggests that Elden Ring's online services will launch as expected when the game is released on February 25.
