With the growing development of the video game industry, competition has become increasingly fierce. In order to better attract players, more and more game producers have begun to focus on developing related content other than the game itself, and music is undoubtedly a good direction for publicity and development.

For an excellent game, high-quality soundtracks are essential. Good background music with appropriate insertion timing can allow players to experience a more realistic and immersive gaming experience during the game, thereby further enhancing the texture of the game.

Usually, the larger the scale and the wider the content of MMO games, the more attention will be paid to the production of soundtracks, and the same is true for Elden Ring. With the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in June this year, the game has gained popularity again, and many people have noticed that the game also has a concert tour this year.

Compared with experiencing music during the game, or enjoying the game music alone through a music app with headphones, it is obviously a new experience to feel the performance of the game music brought by the orchestra and choir in a grand concert hall.

Accompanied by the moving performance of the orchestra, perhaps the players as listeners will not only be intoxicated by it but also remember their past efforts to fight for some Elden Ring Runes in the game. After all, music is one of the most moving and awakening art carriers in the world.

There is no doubt that this concert tour called Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure not only brings excellent music experience to players and listeners but also carries out an elegant promotion for the game itself. This makes more people curious about this game and the story in the game.

Based on this, we will introduce you to some information about Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure and its significance to Elden Ring.

Main Information Of This Tour

The tour of Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure is actually an immersive concert global tour jointly organized by the game developer and Overlook Events. The first one was held in Paris, France on Saturday, January 13, 2024, and was conducted by Adrian Ronda Sampayo.

The second one was held on April 28 at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, performed by Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Crouch End Festival Chorus. After that, the concert came to Asia, with 4 tours in Thailand and Singapore in May and June, respectively. It is reported that the tour will also come to Germany in 2025 to continue the music performance journey of Elden Ring.

The Resonance Between Music And Story

Since its release in 2022, Elden Ring has gained high popularity in a short period, becoming one of the most memorable game works in recent years, and even forming a phenomenal scale of video game popularity. And was named the best game of 2022 at the famous and prestigious game awards ceremony.

This tour sets Lands Between in game as the background of the music. This is a vast country once ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal. There are many biomes, underground cities, and floating ruins. No matter where the player is in Lands Between, he can always see the glittering Erdtree.

At the concert, philharmonic orchestra and choir brought epic music works full of the magnificent and ancient temperament of Lands Between to everyone present. The audience also took this opportunity to relive the experiences of Tarnished’s efforts to restore the balance of Circle of Eden.

In fact, the main story of the game is the core of the experience of this tour concert. The concert combines a detailed storyline, the moving performances of the orchestra and choir, and the original surround lighting design and sound effects on the stage to bring a rare immersive game music experience to all the audience who came to the scene.

The concert’s repertoire covers almost all the music related to the main bosses and endings in the game. On the scene, every time the orchestra cheered for all the hard-won victories in the game through performance, the audience would find this experience even more unforgettable.

As an audience member who came to the scene, whether you have played this game or not, you will definitely be able to feel the majesty of the world of Elden Ring through the story behind the music presented. And the epic feeling brought by the orchestra will further enhance the depth of the game story.

The Meaning That Concert Gives To The Game

Previously, Final Fantasy series of games had toured the world with Distant World series of music works, and Sonic and Kingdom Hearts also held exclusive game concerts. The emergence of these performances shows that holding concerts has become a fashion in the gaming industry.

Therefore, as a popular game in the past two years, whether it is to keep up with the trend or to further increase its popularity, the concert tour has brought considerable benefits to Elden Ring. The significance of holding a concert is far more than simply reproducing the music in the game. In fact, it is itself a grand event worth seeing.

In addition, not all game soundtracks can withstand the reproduction of orchestral music, but for Elden Ring, the noble and moving characteristics of orchestral music have become a better carrier of its music. On the stage, the repeated boss battles have become movie epics, and the special camera angles make each battle more vivid.

The moving music makes Elden Ring series more appealing as a game, and the richness and depth of the game story can also allow the producers to create more and better soundtracks. It can be said that the two complement each other. While playing a promotional role, this concert tour undoubtedly makes the combination of the two closes, making the game also a praised musical work.
