Talented modders have been hard at work since the release of Elden Ring, creating an FPS mod that enhances the already immersive game. One of the most impressive mods to date is First Person Souls, which transforms the game into a first-person shooter reminiscent of FromSoftware’s classic title, King’s Field. This mod was developed and released by modder ‘Dasaav’ last month, and it has garnered a lot of attention from fans of the game.
Elden Ring Becomes an FPS Game With This Mod
First-Person Souls makes significant adjustments to the core gameplay mechanics of Elden Ring to make this project work alongside the established open-world game. This includes changes to crosshairs, attack direction indicators, animation head tracking, and player movement to make the game feel more like an FPS. The mod even allows players to enter first and third-person mode independently, with first-person mode having a free-look feature to capture stunning screenshots.
The movement in First Person Souls is inspired by an older FromSoftware title, King’s Field, which allows players to control their movement while attacking. Although the camera is attached to the character’s head during certain movements, the running, image zoom for ranged weapons, and movement of the player’s arms have all been altered to be smooth in first-person, creating a balance between changing small details and keeping the core of the adventure intact.
The First Person Souls mod provides Elden Ring with a fresh new look, giving The Lands Between a new lease on life while retaining the game’s core mechanics. If you’re interested in trying out the mod for yourself, you can find it on the First Person Souls page.
