AnElden Ringplayer has shared two impressive characters that they created for the game, with the first looking like the Greek God of Lightning Zeus and the other resembling Darth Maul from theStar Warsfranchise. It is one of many creative character designs that players have come up with sinceElden Ringwas released.
Earlier this year,Elden Ringhit shelves and digital storefronts worldwide. Like theDark Soulsgames, the game was well received by critics and notable for its difficult gameplay. At the time of its release, it was the fastest-selling game that publisher Bandai Namco had distributed. Despite the fact the game was released over six months ago,Elden Ringis still maintainingimpressive sales and has shipped over 16 million copies worldwide since its initial release. In addition, players are still finding impressive ways to design their characters.

Fans of the game have come up with many unique designs for their player characters. One fan, for example, recreatedKratos fromGod of WarinElden Ring. In a recent post, Reddit user MattyByNature created his father Zeus in the game as well as Darth Maul from theStar Warsfranchise. The Zeus build looks exactly like the Greek mythology figure and uses light-based attacks that resemble lightning bolts. Likewise, the Darth Maul build uses a weapon with enchantments that look like his double-bladed lightsaber from the films.
Zeus is, of course, the God of Lightning in Greek Mythology and King of the Gods. Typically, the character is portrayed as a benevolent figure; something more akin to the loving God of Christianity. However, in theGod of Warfranchise, the character was portrayed as a vindictive monster who was arguably no better than Kratos. Some have wondered whether the franchise will repeat this kind of character with Odin inGod of War: Ragnarok. Based on the character’s appearance, it has beensuggested that Odin will be a different kind of antagonist than Zeus. The version of Zeus that MattyByNature created inElden Ring, however, may be the closest to theGod of Warversion in terms of appearance that fans ever see.
This is not the first time players have designed their characters based on the iconicStar Warsantagonist. One player, for example,recreated Darth Maul inElden Ring, which looks about as close as a player can reasonably get to his look. In another instance, a mod allowed gamers to play as Darth Vader, and another fan created a character based on their master, Darth Sidious. As such, this will likely not be the last time players see anElden Ringcharacter based onStar Warsheroes and villains.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
