Elden Ring gameplay finally revealed by FromSoftware

The long-awaited gameplay reveal for the grand fantasy action-RPG, Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and produced by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, has finally been unveiled. 

Launching on January 21, 2022 for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S and One and on PC via Steam, players will be able to dive into a ‘thrilling adventure’ and decide the fate of a vast world filled with ‘intrigue and power’.

“With Elden Ring, we have applied all our dark fantasy and action-RPG expertise cultivated throughout the Dark Souls series, in order to create a bold, classical evolution of the genre,” commented Hidetaka Miyazaki, Director at FromSoftware. “We’ve crafted a rich world with a staggering sense of scale, based on legends written for the game by George R. R. Martin. 

“Elden Ring is a world full of mystery and peril, ready to be explored and discovered; a drama in which various characters flaunt their own mystique and ulterior motives. We sincerely hope you enjoy experiencing it for yourself.”

Players will embark on a journey across a meticulously handcrafted world dripping in blood and deception brought upon by a variety of characters with their own unique motivations for helping or hindering the player’s progress, adversaries with profound backgrounds, and fearsome creatures. Throughout their adventures, players will choose the fate of this cursed land by unravelling its secrets and myths.

Featuring a vast and seamless landscape with natural weather and time-of-day progression, players will become fully immersed in the world of the Elden Ring as they begin their journey and choose on their own path. Traverse on foot or horseback, alone or online with friends across grassy plains, suffocating swamps and lush forests. 

“I am very happy and excited to announce the release date of Elden Ring, a new game created by Mr. Miyazaki and Mr. George R.R. Martin, two creators that I truly admire and have a passionate fan base around the world. I am very happy and excited to be able to tell you about it,” added Yasuo Miyakawa, President & CEO, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. 

“We will continue to develop Elden Ring not only as a game but also in a variety of other areas in order to deliver the worldview and charm of this title to our fans around the world. We look forward to your continued support.”
