If you took a sick day to play Elden Ringtoday, good for you. I applaud your transparent gumption. But a whole company is getting the day off anyway, in a truly smooth PR move from management.
Japanese video game developer Pocket Pair has given its employees the day off specificallyto play the incredibly hyped up latest FromSoftware release.
"Pocket Pair will provide Elden Holiday to all employees!" reads a tweet, translated from Japanese by Google, and first spotted by Kotaku. "The King of Elde does not have to go to work on Friday and Monday!"

Elden Ring, released Friday, is the long-awaited open world fantasy game that sees Game of Thronescreator George R. R. Martin joining the developers behind the Dark Soulsfranchise.

Pocket Pair's own president even posted a photo of his enthusiastic self celebrating the coming release.
I'm just saying, with Majora's Masklanding on Nintendo Switch on the same daysurely we all deserve the day off, too? Huh?
Elden Ring is out now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One.
