After several delays and hype stretching higher than any mountaintop, FromSoftware’s latest action RPG will arrive Friday, Feb. 25, 2022. That’s only three days away if you can believe it! Launch times vary slightly depending on region, so maybe check out GLHF’s handy Elden Ring launch guide to figure out when you can venture out into the Lands Between.
Unlike the recent features overview video, Elden Ring’s launch trailer deals more with the story. Make sure to watch it for yourself below, and remember that the wait is almost over.
Though shattered, it shall guide thee. Though fractured, it yet calls. Enact thy will. Become Lord. Seek the Elden Ring.

Elden Ring will be FromSoftware’s first release since 2019’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and more than six years since Dark Souls 3 came out in 2016. It’s hard to believe the studio hasn’t worked on an action RPG for that long, but it’s true. FromSoftware was somewhat intimidated by the Demon’s Souls remake visually, but that didn’t stop director Hidetaka Miyazaki from claiming Elden Ring will be better than Dark Souls.
Apparently, the game will take roughly 30 hours to finish if you’re only doing the mainline quest. It’s an open world game though, so the runtime will likely extend beyond that if you like exploring every corner of the map.
