Rise, Tarnished.
We've been waiting a long time for an update on Elden Ring, which was first announced during Microsoft's E3 conference in 2019. There was some speculation that the game may have been delayed indefinitely, but an official release fate was revealed during today's Summer Game Fest stream along with an exciting new gameplay trailer.
The open world, action adventure RPG marks the first collaboration between Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki. The new trailer follows our nameless hero (Tarnished?) through a stunningly-realized fantasy world as he encounters various weird and wonderful-looking creatures, including dragons, goblins, werewolves, and... giant hands.
Elden Ring is set for release on January 21, 2022, and is expected to be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X as well as PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the new trailer below, and let us know what you think.
