Bill Clinton has arrived in Elden Ring thanks to a modder, who made a skin of the former president after an infamous moment at The Game Awards.
An Elden Ring modder has brought former president Bill Clinton into the Lands Between after an exceptionally weird moment at The Game Awards 2022. The annual award show took place on the evening of December 8, and honored a selection of this year’s most popular games. Despite some stiff competition, Elden Ring was ultimately granted the Game of the Year award. The show also included a number of exciting reveals and announcements. The strangest moment, however, was what happened at the end of FromSoftware’s acceptance speech: a random audience member took the microphone and tried to dedicate the award to Bill Clinton.
Following Elden Ring‘s Game of the Year speech, a modder going by Arestame on Twitter has created a Bill Clinton skin for the game. The custom skin is a strikingly accurate likeness of the 42nd President of the United States, with a near-identical face and blue suit. Arestame posted a video of the skin in action, showing a playable Bill wandering through the Lands Between with a wooden club. He even gets into a fight with a foot soldier, which he promptly loses, ending up face-down in the game’s tutorial area.
Elden Ring Modder Made A Playable Bill Clinton In One Day
Unfortunately, the mod doesn’t seem to be publicly available yet. There’s no Bill Clinton to be found on Arestame’s Nexus Mods page – only a One Piece boss mod for Elden Ring. It’s unclear whether this skin was a commission or something that Arestame simply made for fun, but it’s also possible that it’s a work-in-progress and that it will be released to the Elden Ring PC community in the near future.
While the skin itself is just a fun addition to Elden Ring, the mishap it’s based on was much more controversial. When Hidetaka Miyazaki of FromSoftware took the stage to accept the award for Game of the Year, a young audience member followed him up to the platform along with his translator. This person stood silently behind Miyazaki for the duration of his speech, and no one seemed to know who they were. As Miyazaki thanked everyone in conclusion, the attendee approached the mic and thanked Bill Clinton for the award. This absurd TGA Bill Clinton moment ended in arrest after the intruder was removed by security.
Considering how recently this happened, it’s impressive to see how quickly Arestame was able to put together this Elden Ring skin. Fans may not be able to download it for themselves yet, but one can expect it’ll just be a matter of time – the video of the mod has over a million views already. The bizarre event that inspired it was a surreal way to end the famous show, but hopefully The Game Awards will make some changes to avoid a similar situation next year.
