I think part of it is that it makes me think of Elder Scrolls, and the "ring" reminds me of Lord of the Rings.
Idk. I'm sure I'll grow to love it over time.

Elden Ring leaked (From Software, Miyazaki x George R.R Martin, X1/PS4/PC)

Idk. I'm sure I'll grow to love it over time.
So question: Is GRRM just a big fan of Dark Souls? How did they come together for this project?
The initial rumor was:
Probably safe to assume the rest is true as well (to some extent, since we don't know how involved GRRM is).
I could definitely see it being the name of some mobile game tbh.
But let's be honest, "Dark Souls" isn't exactly the most original name ever. Could be a fantasy anime browser game. Heck didn't someone find some old PC game called that?
EDIT: the logo though is super cool. Love it.
That bit with going to different kingdoms reminds of demons souls
Lmao yup. I think that name is so ubiquitous in gaming, but let's be real if no one had heard of it and it was the name of some browser game in a side panel ad, no one would look twice.
I'm not gonna lie, Dark Souls is kind of a lame name too. But I think it still sounds more original than Elden Ring.
Idk though maybe it's just me and I'm crazy. I will agree the logo is dope though.
Bandai Namco leaked the game themselves. Not me. It was already being posted everywhere by the time I posted it.
Jason and others sum it up nicely
In blind.
Miyazaki is the only dude around left that you can be comfortable with going in blind

You mean Cory Balrog's reply to him too?
Because I see a bit both sides here.
Edited out the eyerolling statement.

That's a hard eye-roll.
If that was all they had, there was never any wind to begin with.
I'm sure there will be at least a teaser trailer of some sort.
Wasn't this rumored like a month ago, title and all? It's not that shocking.
We know Elden Ring is not an exclusive, it seems that it'll becoming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC since it's being published by Bandai Namco
If it's being released in 2020 (be that March/April, or later) do you think we'll see PS5 and Xbox Scarlett versions, perhaps in 2021?
Remember the timing of Dark Souls II. We got an announcement trailer in December 2012, which was all CG.
Then we got the a realtime trailer at E3 2013. Here is a video of it at the Microsoft E3 press conference.
I don't know if it was also at the Sony E3 press conference in 2013, but that trailer is known as the "I Am Undone" E3 trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUotRSRjrGQ
There was also 12 minutes of gameplay with IGN / FromSoftware interview at E3 2013
Obvious next gen consoles had been fully revealed, and would arrive before Dark Souls II was out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Then at TGS 2013, we had the Aching Bones trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-o2KMm-5tQ
This was clearly realtime, but had to have been running on PC. Not only did it have all the lighting and graphics not found in the retail game, but the trailer was 1080p and 60fps.
Dark Souls II released March 2013. FromSoftware was asked about Dark Souls II coming to next gen consoles (PS4, Xbox One) but didn't give a definitive answer.
Next came the Crowns trilogy of DLC later in 2014.
Then Scholar of the First Sin was announced November 2014, and released at the start of April 2015, right after Bloodborne had released on PS4 in late March.
Sorry for the long rundown of the timeline of DS2. I could've just said it was at first only for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, releasing after next gen PS4, Xbox One were out.
Then got DLC, Then remastered for the new consoles and PC with all DLC included.
I really wonder how things are going to go with Elden Ring since it is most likely coming out sometime in 2020, just as we're going into next gen.

And a completely unsurprising one which doesn't tell us any more information than the rumours.
One of the strongest aspects of souls games is level design.
And Honestly I don't like wide open FROMSOFT areas by comparison.
Their areas are usually better the more condensed they are.
When this rumour first started I just automatically assumed Miyazaki wasn't directing because that would have been too perfect. This may be a controversial statement to make but I think GRRM's weakest area is world building which is something Miyazaki excels at. This could be a match made in heaven.
Pretty shitty. Can we just wait the last hours before the reveals. Like whats the fucking point of leaking something that is so close to reveal.
But well we already kinda of knew of it so whatever and it was apparently a accident on their part.
Pretty hype to see what they have cooking up though.

Probably showing the game off first in private showings, which I think is how most major Miyazaki games were shown.
I'm sorry but that name in that font (with capitals on each side) makes it look like a Chinese mobile game based on The Lord of the Rings.
Stoked to find out more, though. Miyazaki can do no wrong.

I was wondering what happened to have all 3 of those show up at the same time. Thanks for shedding light on their goof as I was very curious how it went down.
Yeah that's the one part of the rumours I didn't like the sound of. I was hoping for a completely original mythology and setting coming from Miyazaki and Martin.
God of War (and admittedly Marvel, even if its In Name Only) has my Norseometer a bit full I guess.
I'd rather something new like Bloodborne. Or at least something not as explored like say, Egypt.
I mean sure, but you haven't seen the game yet. They could/will have a different take on this. It's just weird to me to say a setting decides that much.
They have at least two teams. Publishers want to work with From so they get to pick who gets what.
