The next game from Dark Souls developer From Software, Elden Ring is still a ways out. A collaborative effort between From Software and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring hopes to return to the RPG core the Dark Souls is built on, moving away from the more action-oriented structure of Bloodborne and Sekiro. Beyond that, however, details are scarce, though publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed the game is headed to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We don't have a confirmed release date yet, but you can also pre-order it right now.
Typical for the first reveal of any new From Software game, the trailer was mostly cryptic, creepy nonsense. The eponymous Elden Ring "commanded the stars" and "gave life its fullest brilliance," but was shattered by "someone or something." The trailer is punctuated by someone forging (or perhaps un-forging) something we can't see, stony cracks radiating across their back from the effort. Any allusion to forging rings of power obviously evokes Tolkien, and the whole thing generally has a dark, mythic fantasy feeling that's very much in line with the Dark Souls series. Pre-E3 leaks suggested that the game will have an open-world format in which the player journeys through various kingdoms, slaying their rulers to take on their unique powers.
