Elden Ring publisher offering free Steam game, but you have to be quick

Elden Ring publisher, Bandai Namco, is currently giving away a fighting game to be redeemed on Steam, but you’ll have to be quick as they’re giving out copies on a first come, first served, basis.

The free game is quite a departure from Elden Ring - it’s one for the anime fans among the audience. Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a multiplayer online fighting game set within the Naruto universe. If you have fond memories of tuning in to the latest episode of Naruto, or you’re currently making your way through the sequel show, Boruto, this is the game for you.

Elden Ring is one of the biggest hitters for Bandai Namco

With bright, vivid graphics, Shinobi Striker feels like an extension of its anime cousin and does a brilliant job of pulling you into the world so many of us love. It’s an arena battler where you’ll take advantage of verticality to get the jump on your opponents using ninjitsu skills, items and character abilities to swing a win in your direction.

All you need to do to grab a copy of the game is head over to Bandai Namco’s website and register. Once you’ve done this simply link your Steam account to be eligible. You only have until 12 January 3:00 pm CEST to be in with a chance of snagging a copy of the game. Winners of the giveaway will receive the game code via registered email between 15 and 19 January.

You can pair up with friends to battle people all over the world in 4v4 battles playing as your favourite characters from the hit anime and Manga. As a bit of a weeb myself, I know I’ll be throwing my hat in the ring as the game looks gorgeous and who can say no to a bit of Hokage action? Get on this one quickly.
