Probably for the best since every Soulsborne game has had cut content or felt incomplete in some way. I'm happy to wait, I just hope it doesn't drop too close to other soulslikes because it would just completely overshadow them

>>37 >pics 2 and 3 I didn't even know that there was nay new concept art released.

>>47 *new

>>47 Here's some more: Jan 14, 2021 These were published on ArtStation by Swedish Artist Gabriel Björk Stiernström. According to Gabriel, the artworks were part of E3 2019 announcement and were developed for From Software and Bandai Namco. https://exputer.com/elden-ring-concept-art/

Jan 28, 2021 -Insider Jeff Grubb suggests more news in around 60 days (March 28) on twitter. Feb 20 2021 Elden Ring gets a PEGI 16 Rating https://gamingroute.com/elden-ring-gets-a-pegi-16-provisional-rating/

All the talk about factions plus GRRM writing makes we think we might see a living busy world rather than one that's in decline like the other Soulsborne games. Large scale battles would be cool as fuck, something like the Sekigahara level in Nioh.

I'm somewhat convinced the game doesn't exist or is going through huge developmental issues. They haven't talked about the game in almost two years.

>>107 Phil Spencer said he played it and the leaks also say it's in a playable state.

>>107 I think the game not existing is just a reddit meme. Chinavirus definitely had some impact on development as Tokyo, where FROM hq is, was hit the hardest. And according to https://covid19japan.com/ numbers are starting to go back down. Japan started working virtually around Feb/May 2020, I don't know if they started being able to work in an office setting. So my guess is when they can start working at hq together again, things will happen a lot faster.

>>105 I hadn’t thought of that. I hope there are at least a couple sprawling cities that have a ton of npcs. My only hope would be that it wasn’t Skyrim tier interactions. Epic 50+ people battles between factions would be cool. Or random encounters with opposing sides fighting in the open world.

>>132 >the fucking clothing transition

Snippets from a new trailer leaked https://streamable.com/wdy1x6 https://streamable.com/c0xcil THIS IS NOT A DRILL SOMETHING IS COMING SOON

>>142 Of course they're in dogshit quality

>>142 >>144 Here's the higher res (just as dogshit quality) trailer with voiceover.

Is this new? Google recently updated their Elden Ring image for Youtube Gaming

>>146 Another vid >>150 I haven't seen that specific image with the title there like that. Maybe its just the official marketing image for the time being. If it's coming out before E3 we can expect to see streamers/youtubers getting copies soon.

>>153 Oh hey we get to fight Zant.

The leaked trailer refers to the game as a franchise, I don't know how to feel about that.

>>156 >what's the matter kingseeker, don't want episodic titles?

Any more news yet?

>>211 NEW TRAILER LETS GOOO!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Huy2cdih0&t=23s
