This year’s most anticipated game, Elden Ring, is soon going to release worldwide next month. And the preparations for the launch are already in full swing. However, the title just witnessed an unexpected blunder in one of the regions where it will soon go on sale.

Some retail stores in New Zealand were recently asked to return and destroy Elden Ring marketing standees they had because the name of creator Hidetaka Miyazaki featured on the top was spelled incorrectly. The news came out via a tweet from Lance McDonald on Twitter, who posted the images of the standees as well, having the first and last name of the creator.

However, it gets highlighted a lot whenever a fan-favorite title is associated with the mistake. And Elden Ring is no exception to this, being the most awaited game in the world right now. It is truly unfortunate that the FromSoftware project had to see an unwanted situation in New Zealand.
