Elden Ring: Does it Have Fast Travel?


The Summer Game Fest did the unthinkable and actually revealed Elden Ring after years of us waiting, giving us a fancy trailer with awesome gameplay. We also have a release date of February 25, 2022.

Since the Summer Game Fest, we have learnt a lot more about Elden Ring. This includes what classes we can expect, how multiplayer will work, and whether there will be bonfires. This, overall, has got an abundance of players excited for the title.

It’s clear that Elden Ring is a game many have been waiting for since gamers just can’t seem to get enough of that Souls-like combat by FromSoftware. So, this game has a lot to live up to, and many are wondering if Elden Ring is going to have fast travel.

Elden Ring Hub World and Fast Travel

While Elden Ring is expected to have that Souls-like difficulty that masochist gamers can’t get enough of, it seems like the devs at FromSoftware did want to make things a bit easier for us, at least when it comes to exploration.

FromSoftware developer Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed in an interview with IGN that Elden Ring would have fast travel to make traveling a bit easier, along with a hub area where players can take it easy.

Admittedly, FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne did have their own versions of hubs and fast travel respectively but they were usually pretty hard to get.

In Dark Souls you don’t get to travel from Bonfire to Bonfire until later in the game so it appears that Elden Ring will make it easier by having you uncover the map first before allowing you to fast travel across certain areas.

Honestly, while we respect those that want to have their face kicked every time they play a Souls-like, having easier Fast Travel and a proper Hub in Elden Ring is great. Let’s hope this encourages more people to pick up this fantastic-looking game!

Elden Ring will be coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 25, 2022. Learn more about where you can pre-order the highly-anticipated title here, and we discuss how extensive the character customisation is here.
