The new ‘Elden Ring’ gameplay trailer is making fans go wild

Everyone is going bananas over Elden Ring.

A new gameplay preview for the wildly-anticipated Elden Ring  dropped on Thursday, and fans are a teensy-weensy bit excited. By that, I mean they’re frothing at the mouth, barely able to contain their hype.

It’s hard to blame them, of course. FromSoftware is behind modern-day classics like Dark SoulsBloodborne, and Sekiro — undeniably one of the best development studios making video games these days. Not to mention George R. R. Martin, the author behind Game of Throneshelped pen the story for Elden Ring. So the expectations for this game are through the roof.

Check out the extended gameplay preview for Elden Ring  for yourself below. There are some slight boss encounter spoilers in the footage, just as a heads up.

Elden Ring  is coming out on Feb. 25, 2022, but if you can’t wait that long to try it out, there’s a beta test coming up soon.

You’re still reeling from that preview, eh? No problem. Everyone across social media is in the same boat. Some fans are picking apart nitty-gritty details, while others are too stoked for coherent thought, and naturally, loads more are dropping memes. I’ve gathered a bunch of the best reactions for you to check out below.

Elden Ring delayed to February

FromSoftware’s next epic RPG is getting a small delay.

FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring  is receiving a short delay to Feb. 25, 2022. 

The wildly anticipated action RPG from the creators of Dark Souls was originally going to come out on Jan. 21, 2022. On Monday, however, FromSoftware said that the game needs a bit more development time.

Elden Ring will release on Feb. 25, 2022, as the depth & strategic freedom of the game exceeded initial expectations,” FromSoftware said on Twitter. “Thank you for your trust and patience. We look forward to seeing you experience the game in the Closed Network Test in November.”

Check out the statement for yourself below.

This news is a bit of a bummer, but ensuring Elden Ring is in a polished state is a good move by FromSoftware.

The Hype for Elden Ring stems not only from its developer’s pedigree, but that Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin helped create the game’s backstory and world.
