FromSoftware and Bandai Namco's highly anticipated and multi-awarded open-world action role-playing game "Elden Ring" is still a few weeks away from its official release, but some sleuths have already uncovered its major details, including its PS5 file size, endgame content, quest and voice data, model renders, status effects, weapon classes, weapon infusions, game models, potential major boss, soundtracks and a lot more.

The PS5 file size of "Elden Ring" came from the Twitter page PlayStation Game Size, which revealed that it requires 44.67 GB of free space for gamers to download and play. This file size is only for the game's PS5 version and the Twitter page, unfortunately, failed to disclose the file size of the game's Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, as well as its PC version.

Moreover, there is no information about the game's day one patch just yet but it did mention that "Elden Ring" would be available for pre-load on Feb. 23, 2022, a couple of days ahead of its official release.

Aside from the game's PS5 file size, several other leaks seemingly disclosed the game's endgame content and major antagonist. This set of leaks became available online after hackers successfully jailbroke PlayStation 4 hardware and tried unauthorized copies of games on it.

Through this, dataminers gained access to the network test of "Elden Ring," which was available in November, and dug into its files. The leaks reportedly contain more than 3000 voice lines, animation data, dialogue scripts and character models. Simply put, dataminers have accessed the entire plot of "Elden Ring" along with the endgame content.

The dataminers uncovered six major bosses in "Elden Ring," who according to them are referred to as Elden Lords. These are Golden Lord Godric, Moon Lord Rennala, Blood Lord Mohg, Grace Lord Morgott, Chaos Lord Hoarah Loux and Giant/Star Lord Radahn.

They also discovered the names of possible final bosses in the game, which suggest they are all female. Apart from that, the game appears to have a long list of weapon classes, including Dagger, Straight Sword, Greatsword, Colossal Sword, Curved Sword, Curved Greatsword, Katana, Double-Edged Sword and Thrusting Sword.

There are also Axe, Greataxe, Hammer, Warhammer, Spear, Great Spear, Halberd, Reaper and Fist. Players can also get their hands on Light Bow, Bow, Crossbow, Glintstone Staff, Sacred Seal, Small Shield, Shield and Greatshield if the datamined details came out accurate.

As for the game's weapon infusions, players can choose from Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality, Fire, Flame Art, Lightning, Sacred, Magic, Occult, Cold, Poison and Blood. Six status effects were also unearthed during the recent datamining activity, which includes Bleeding, Chilled, Poisoned, Rot, Frenzy and Death.

For fans who want to know more about these details ahead of the game's official release on Feb. 25, 2022, can check out the compilation shared by Reddit user Jesus10101. There are in-game models, game soundtracks and voice data available online.
