While playing Elden Ring, one player has used the game's character customization to create a scarily accurate recreation of Doom Slayer from the Doom franchise. The unexpected crossover adds to the list of character recreations in Elden Ring and demonstrates how detailed players can get with the game's character builder.
The release of Elden Ring last year set a new precedent for future game releases, showcasing what studios are capable of in terms of a stellar open world RPG experience. With the major success of the game, players have put hours upon hours of time into the game's impressively detailed world, having new experiences with each playthrough. One feature of the game that draws a lot of praise is the character creator that allows players to get incredibly creative with who they play as. From major characters in pop culture to real life celebrities, Elden Ring's character building mechanics allow the player to be as detailed as they wish, and it's birthed some amazing recreations.
For one Elden Ring player, making a version of the iconic Doom Slayer was how they chose to utilize the game's character creator. The talented gamer known as SoulfearicAcid on Reddit shared their work to the Elden Ring subreddit. Gamers who have played the Doom games will instantly recognize the Doom Slayer in all his glory.
From the facial expression to the shaping of the jaw and head, SoulfearicAcid absolutely nailed the recreation. Not only does the face look like Doom Slayer, but the armor chosen for him can easily be pictured as what Doom Slayer would actually wear if Doom took place in the Elden Ring universe. Although this is a crossover that not many would think to bring to life, SoulfearicAcid has created a compelling interpretation of what would possibly happen if the two worlds collided. Despite Elden Ring being difficult enough, combining that world with Doom would be a wild gaming challenge.
It's fun to see what new ideas Elden Ring fans continue to come up with. Hyper-detailed character builds like this are a great demonstration of the patience and talent of some players, and it's impressive to see the details of a character recreated so well with this medium. With Elden Ring's upcoming DLC and continuing player growth, the love for the game is going to likely expand even greater, and new players coming into the fold means more talented fans who do creative things within the game.
Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
