Elden Ring, like other Soulsborne RPGs, has quite the dark setting. The Lands Between are host to all sorts of monsters, including beasts that fall from the stars and dogs that can prove to be more irritating than even the bosses of the game.Elden Ring’sworld and lore was partly designed byGame of Thronesauthor George R.R. Martin, so fans were expecting quite the dark setting when they first stepped foot in the Lands Between. However, not everyElden Ringplayer has interpreted the game’s setting as being so dark.
One fan even believes thatElden Ringcan offer quite the cute experience when combined with a more wholesome game franchise, that is. Specifically, one artist on Twitter decided to create “Elden Crossing,” which marks the unexpected crossover betweenAnimal CrossingandElden Ring. The art does not featureAnimal Crossingcharacters in their quest to become Elden Lord, and instead shows what the NPCs ofElden Ringwould look like with a cuter coat of paint.

NotableElden RingNPCs can be found all over the “Elden Crossing” artwork, with Sorcerer Rogier being one character than fans took a particular interest in. As Rogier is a polite character inElden Ringanyway, many found his cute alter ego to fit the character well. Of course,Ranni the Witchis also present, but perhapsElden Ring’smost famous NPC takes more of a background role in this artwork, as she can be spotted in the top left corner.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t space for everyElden RingNPC to make it into the artwork. Fia, for example, can’t be found in the artwork, and neither can Dung Eater, despite these two characters being popular toElden Ringplayers. The artist did state that they had doodled Dung Eater, so it is potential that the NPC could make his way into another piece ofElden Ringfan art. Some characters do appear, but are quite hard to see. Blaidd, for example, is tucked in just under Ranni, slightly hidden behind some trees.
Animal Crossingmay seem like a strange crossover withElden Ring, due to the sheer difference in tone and gameplay of the two titles. However, it seems thatElden Ringfans are more than happy to see their favorite characters in a cuter form. This isn’t the first timeElden Ringart has made a seemingly strange crossover work, as one fan recently designed a piece of fan art that put theSuper Mario Brosin the Lands Between.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
