Is Elden Ring linked to Dark Souls?
No, souls are pretty linear and elden ring is a sequel of dark souls 3, like blodborne, or like ds1 was for demon’s souls: a world born from the ashes and the souls of the previous world, inspired by King’s field (and maybe connected in same ways). No, there really is no concept equivalent to the Christian concept of ‘Hell’, ‘Satan’ or ‘Demons’ in Elden Ring. It certainly explores a pantheon of gods and demigods and the various groups that worship them and some of those groups and gods are quite dark.
