Elden Ring Release Date & Trailer Revealed at Summer Games Fest 2021

Elden Ring is coming!

[CaptainHenry916]

Looks incredible! Take my money! My PC is ready!!!!!! Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring is my most anticipated action RPG games! This looks like Bloodbourne and Dark Souls

[Sonic-and-Crash]

looks like a Dark Souls 2 DLC for next gen ...lol ....didnt excite me so much to be honest .....i m more hyped by Kojima

[CaptainHenry916]

Yea the only problem is that it's cross gen. The PS4/Xbox One and Series S is going to hold it back from it's true potential

[Sonic-and-Crash]

@Captain ...one thing is for sure ...that Bloodborne/Sekiro team isnt behind ER development ....would have completely different look/ atmosphere if it was....probably Miyazaki made it with the 2nd -Dark Souls team , that why has very similar look to DS2 ....and probably (i make a prediction lol ) BB/Sekiro team is preparing smthing else

[Rambokind]

See a psychiatrist?

[Fluttershy77]

It doesn't look like DkS 2 (original or DLC) but definitely seems a souls like game, there's even a summon... Man, no one does Dark Phantasy like FromSoft... They are at the top of their game

[oldenjon]

Elden Ring was always slated to be a Dark Souls spiritual successor. Miyazaki said that in several ways. The graphics are held back by last gen, but there will be next gen upgrades and honestly FROM trailers are never very impressive in terms of graphics. The game will look better in motion, and honestly looks pretty f'in good in screenshots and gifs. The art direction is unmatched.

[-Foxtrot]

This is how you do it

You announce a game and you don’t show it off again until near to launch (under a year)

Looks great

[UnSelf]

meh. looks like another Roll To Dodge Every and Any Attack game

ill wait for Sekiro 2. A real challenge

[seanpitt23]

Damn next year… I thought and expected late this year, let’s hope it doesn’t get delayed

[specialguest]

I haven't been hyped for a game in a while and this did it for me. I'm currently playing Demon's Souls remake on the PS5, but I've been primarily a PC gamer. I have to decide whether to get the PC version or the PS5 version by the time it releases

[CaptainHenry916]

This is one of my most anticipated game. The other two is Horizon Forbidden West and Starfield. But Starfield just got leaked and it will be at Microsoft press conference but won't release until late 2022 from the leaked and rumor

https://www.google.com/amp/...

[Agent75]

But when does a game not look incredible due to console/PC power? What’s original about this game? Another game banging the same drum. Wait until it’s £20/$20.

[Double_O_Revan]

Looks fantastic! Good for Keighley. That's a big get for his show.

[medman]

Enormous!

[robtion]

Looks like Dark Souls 4 and I am fine with that.

The graphics don't look much different to Dark Souls 3 though. I may have been spoilt by the Demon's souls remake.

[Vegamyster]

Say what you want about Geoff but he’s busted his ass for years, good on him.

[Double_O_Revan]

Agreed. I like the guy. I don't even understand why people hate on him so much. He's done a lot of good for the industry. Even the Game Awards have evolved into a decent show that also doubles as a semi E3. I feel like he cares.

[deleted]

For sure. I think many of us oldschool G4 TV viewers like to see his rise of career after the channel shut down.

[GaboonViper]

I'm screaming right now, take my damn money, those bosses look great.

[ocelot07]

It looked pretty cool.

[GaboonViper]

When that red lightning struck that dragon.......OMG jaw on floor.

[Sunny12345]

From software never disappoints. Looking forward to this one. Really excited.

[on_line_forever]

Finally The wait is over , thank you mayazaki thank you fromsoftware

[Aloymetal]

Looked pretty good, hopefully the npc's move their mouths when they talk this time.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

I see you aren't into telepathy, eh?

[Highrevz]

Best part about the show.

January 2022 is sooner then I expected this game to be releasing so I’m happy with that date.

[Viking_mo]

It really does exist. And holy shit this game is another level and a release date?? Death stranding directors cut, deviation studios+PlayStation and Elden ring were my highlights

[Fraggle1987]

Game looks great but the graphics look poor. Which makes sense this is basically a last gen game at this point.

[lucian229]

well it's crossgen so it's expected; likely just have better lighting, higher res, fps on next gen; idc though it's going to be amazing

[anast]

Looks like a souls game to me.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

It always was a last gen game from the day it was announced

[Deeeeznuuuts]

I'm sorry but like every other from software game, it just looks like a souls reskin.

Could anyone tell me what makes this different from a souls game please?

[lucian229]

First off, if you can't use your eyes, the game is openworld and has mounted combat. No souls game was ever openworld.

Second, the weapon and magic system is different, your arm suffers from using magic too much and eventually your arm withers off, making it so you need replacements. You can get the arms from different enemies and get unique abilities. That's just some of the new stuff; everything else we won't know till launch

[Nacho_Z]

It's an open world Souls game. That's a big deal because it totally changes the setup and you can be sure that there will be no filler which sets it apart from 90% of open world games.

[Saijahn]

This...looks like just another souls reskin

[lucian229]

to the blind and to the people who never played it. same thing was said about bloodborne and look how different it is.

[DVAcme]

What, you didn't see that it's open-world? Or that there's horseback riding and combat? Or that the story is a collab between Miyazaki and George RR Martin?

Yes, the aesthetic is that of a FromSoft game. No shit, IT'S A FROMSOFT GAME. But saying the trailer doesn't show anything that makes it unique from other Soulsborne games is just disingenuous.

[medman]

Wait.....what!!!???

[VivaLaManual]

Why didn't they just call it dark souls 4?

[MajorLazer]

That story is done really. How many times must the flame be reignited.

[anast]

Because it's not the same story...

[Beekay83]

Yeah…. Remember how Cyberpunk looked amazing…. Remember how Anthem looked amazing? Yeah im done getting hyped. You guys wanna be guinea pigs and preorder/buy first go ahead!

But yea looks cool.

[lucian229]

Fromsoftware has a good track record, witcher games all sucked but witcher 3 was okay.

[Platinum_k]

wow... completely different developers and genres

you probably never played a fromsoftware game in your life

[Beekay83]

Doesnt matter if the developer is god himself. The standard practice for so many games have been very dissapointing. You make a bold assumption based on what exactly? I have indeed played from software, but the point in matter is that games like cyber/anthem and even now Outriders all were praised/hyped but ultimately failed meeting those expectations.

I for one will not preorder games now as a statement towards gaming companies.
I really don't understand these internetfanbois who downvote on everything that's a tiny critical against their "game".

Weird.

[Wintersun616]

Anthem never looked amazing.. I get your point but only idiots got excited for Anthem.

[DVAcme]

FromSoft's track record has been IMPECCABLE for the last 12 years, they've earned that hype more than any other developer in the industry, and are EASILY the most influential developer in the action RPG genre of the last decade.

[Platinum_k]

What are you basing your argument off exactly?... because other developer with no relations to this developer sucked at what they do. Just look at their track record...
Overhyping games has nothing to do with the final product of the game. It's simply people expectations that let them down.
FromSoftware will make a solid game based on evidence.

[samwoods123]

Can't Wait

[Brazz]

Goty 2022 here.

[Transporter47]

Looks good, I do hope the graphics look way better when it releases. The problem with the graphics is that Demon Souls for PS5 exists... Maybe one day we get Bloodborne with Bluepoint engine!!

[CaptainHenry916]

"Demon Souls for PS5 exists"

And Demon souls graphics looks better than Eden Ring because Demon Souls remake was made only for the PS5

[annoyedgamer]

Imagine if they made a game only for PC...

[CaptainHenry916]

I can only wish

[Moquiao]

Far Cry 6 is cross gen and cross plattform and it looks a lot better than Elden Ring.

I was really dissappointed with the graphics. The monster designs were awesome though!

[CaptainHenry916]

Far Cry 6 looks doesn't look that good either for a next gen game but I forgot it's cross gen

[anast]

Yeah, we've been so used to next gen graphics for a few months now: Last gen. stuff looks ugly...

[Rikimaru1977]

bout time, looks excellent. all i need now i my PS 5

[Paleblood]

By the time that game releases, you should easily have a PS5.

[WillyC009]

I’m in, 100%. Without a doubt.

[Gatsu]

Loving all the Berserk references.

[Rambokind]

WOW!!!!

[sourOG]

Kickoff
Metal slug tactics - low hype .5
JW evolution 2 - 2021 mid hype 1
Two point campus - low hype .5
Back4blood - big hype 2
Evil dead - 2021 mid hype 1
Elden ring - big hype 2

Kickoff 7/6 - B

[DVAcme]

I got hella hyped for Salt And Sacrifice, too. Salt And Sanctuary was fucking dope, and a sequel for it is easily top 5 most awaited games for me right now.

[sourOG]

That’s cool I didn’t see that one. I know of the old game and I like the art style. It’s like one dev doing everything right? That is dope and it’s cool that support exists. Yeah there were a few cool indies afterwards like death door.

[Futureshark]

AWESOME!!!!

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

I didn't watch the trailer, going into these games as blind as possible is the best way. Their trailers always show all the bosses and such which takes away from the exploration and mystery imo. I did however catch very brief glimpses because I had to feed my curiosity and those few seconds I saw looked fucking amazing. Best way to play these games is not knowing anything and discovering all by yourself.
A From Software game on release is a special thing I don't want to ruin. That feeling only comes around once every 2-3 years.

[Paleblood]

Nice!!!

Still hoping for Blood Borne 2 too.

[georgenancy]

Literally looks like dark souls 3.5.

[spwittbold]

yawn. Another "Dark Souls-esque," game? Hard pass.

[anast]

I'm surprised they stick with what they are good at. I know it's insane.

[Old_Boss_]

Take my MONEY FROM!

[GamingSinceForever]

It looks like another Souls like game. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not super hyped for it.

[OzzY-waZZy]

This looks good... and rough. I know FS have never been too impressive graphically but Bluepoint really spoiled me with DS (probably for the worst). This feels very ps4. Also aesthetically very dark souls-ish. Was hoping it would have a different tone.

[KINGS47]

OHHHHHHhhhhhhh Eldeeennn riiiiingggggg ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh elden ring

[AnnaDea]

GAME OF THE YEAR GAME OF THE YEAR GAME OF THE YEAR

[anast]

Hyped!

[Tyrant 8 RDFL]

For me this game is a no brainer to buy at launch. I cant wait!!!!

[BlaqMagiq1]

Automatic Day 1. Preordering the PS5 version when it goes up.

[HeliosHex]

Wow, this looks very interesting.

[shamon85]

i cant wait looks amazing getting for ps5

[Snakeeater25]

Look like a demon soul ripoff .. the trailer for me is really boring nothing new or to get hype for

[Platinum_k]

alright well... this is another day 1 =)

[Chard]

Probably my most anticipated game right now. All the ingredients are there

[Silly gameAr]

No one cares that it's cross gen? Damn, people got over that pretty fast.

[Nineball2112]

That looks bad ass

[Saijahn]

All I got was dark souls from this game. Why go down such a similar path as your main game? It visually looked decent but overall it's just more of the same FROM WHAT WAS SHOWN. Meh

[LeShin]

I'm looking forward to this..but I am extremely biased towards Demon Souls Remake on the PS5 I'm currently playing, that game is criminally good looking

[BioShockGX]

Not sure why this game is so hyped. All I see is another dark souls but this time with a horse

[andron]

Golly mallony!
Really great stuff, but how is this going to work on PS4 and Xbone?

[Agent75]

Lord of the Rings rip off meets Dark Souls/Bloodbourne etc. Let’s all bang our drums?.....

[ManMarmalade]

So much respect and admiration for Kentaro Miura in the trailer.
