Revealed at last night's Summer Game Fest kick-off show, developer FromSoftware has lifted the lid on the game after keeping dead quiet about it for the last two years. Not only did the new trailer show a healthy amount of in-engine footage, but also the biggest surprise of the night: A release date of January 21 for 2022.
FromSoftware is at the height of their game currently after receiving rave reviews for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and they’re taking that buzz back to familiar stomping grounds that hopes to evolve the ideas that have become their trademark: Challenging brutality, rich fantasy and well-crafted worlds. Elden Ring is the name of the game, and it just so happens to feature some world-building from none other than double-pirate George Arr Arr Martin.
The studio behind the legendary Dark Souls trilogy has just wrapped up work on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but that’s not the only game that they’ve been working on as they’re flexing their development muscles to craft a new fantasy experience. One that Martin happens to have had a hand in penning the story and world for. Here’s your first look, at Elden Ring for PS4, PC and Xbox One. Prepare to be surprised.
Sekiro is the full package with immensely satisfying combat and an intriguing world to explore and discover.
It’s 2019, load shedding is once again a problem and too many terrible people are doing equally terrible things. I ain’t worried though, because at least I can sit back and bask in the glory that is another FromSoftware game, which happens to be out rather soon. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice looks like a blast and then some, taking FromSoftware’s trademark style of risk over reward and adding a few interesting wrinkles to the formula.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-RPG that feels more fluid, agile and boasts an aesthetic that looks simply marvellous when compared to previous FromSoftware games. The lush colours of Japan burst forth beautifully in this game, with the atmosphere being especially good whenever you have to take on a boss.
