Earlier this week, FromSoftware had released a 6-minute long chunky trailer for Elden Ring. The video touched upon some story elements and offered a first look at the class and summoning system. Directed Hidetaka Hidetaka Miyazaki and George RR Martin, Elden Ring is an action RPG set in a bleak, dark fantasy realm of the Lands Between. You play as a descendant of the Tarnished, a group of heroes once banished from the lands.
After the destruction of the titular Elden Ring and the scattering of its shards, our job is to seek them all, restore back to its original form, and become the Elden Lord. Being a souls-like title, players can expect punishingly difficult boss battles, a disjointed narrative, and fearsome mobs at every corner of the bewitched lands.
For online co-op play, FromSoftware has also enabled cross-gen support, letting players on newer consoles namely the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S team up with those on the last-gen system. Unfortunately, there is no cross-platform play available at the moment.
Elden Ring launches the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam. Here’s the complete l of timezones and details on when you can start playing the game. Those who have pre-ordered the game can download and keep it ready 48 hours prior to launch.
