Fans and gamers around the world are enjoying the 2022 Game of the Year,Elden Ring, and more and more players are jumping into the Lands Between as the Tarnished in order to try and reforge the Elden Ring.
As players jump intoElden Ring’s new free-for-all PVP content in the Colosseum, the game’s fluid and complex combat systems are getting even more attention as praise than ever before.

YouTube user Darth Senju posts a great video that shows offElden Ring’s hitboxes. For those that don’t know, a hitbox is basically just the border or outline of a character or object that will invoke a collision of some kind. In fighting and combat games, that collision would be a punch or a sword hit or magic or something like that, whereas in a racing game, that collision might be with the border of a racetrack or an obstacle put in the path. Here, Darth Senju shows off how their character just barely avoids projectiles from an enemy while going through an animation of their own attack.
The slowed down video truly shows offElden Ring’s accurate hitboxes, which players will appreciate so much as they face off against one another in the Colosseum. Many times, developers will work hard on fixing and updating hitboxes in competitive games, likeMultiVersus’s updated hitboxes.
Sometimes, players are surprised with, or even annoyed by, the different interactions that can be caused by hitboxes in a game. ThisOverwatch 2clip shows how Kiriko’s hands can block the hitboxaround her head, preventing headshots from happening. This causes an issue and an imbalance in competitive play inOverwatch 2, as players can exploit this to gain the upper hand.
Of course,Elden Ringplayers do not need to worry about these issues, as Darth Senju’s video clearly shows. The hitboxes are quite accurate. ThoughElden Ringplayers would like more variety in the Colosseum fights, at least they do not need to worry about small hitbox issues that could cause them to lose a fight in a pinch.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
