Not saying it's legit or fake but being based on the world tree doesn't necessarly mean that the game it's about norse myth.
The elden ring itself seems to work like Yggdrasil by the look of it, it's the root of the world/universe and everything that exists in it.

Sure, but that's no excuse to keep believing and spreading fake news either
Art looks fake and the bullet points are the safest possible guesses about what this game might be. 100% fake.
that's what i was thinking. i'm wondering how accurate the translation is, things can get misconstrued so easily. celtic makes sense, especially since omni clearly mentioned scotland as a source of inspiration.
also absolutely love the serpent monstrosity. totally believe the art is real.
Yeah, this. "The game's world is based on the World Tree" is very different from "The game is based on Norse mythology".
The more I hear about this game (which is, admittedly, very little), the less excited I am for it unfortunately.
Bloodborne is the most demo-level death metal game I've ever played, even the staff shirts and some of the official shirts look like death metal shirt designs.
Hell, there's a popular death metal band named Tomb Mold now.
Bloodborne was basically the actual most Metal game ever, like underground late 80's and early 90's Black/Death Metal depths of Metal in lieu of 'lol headbanging and solos' ironic indie game Metal.
On topic and regarding the leak: it's kind of a big shrug to me right now, I'll believe anything about Elden Ring when I see it at this point. I'm a borderline From fanboy and even I don't really care about anything but gameplay footage anymore.
But it's such an easy combination to make. The norse mythological realms are different worlds, but what's outside the nine worlds? Who slumbers in ginnungagap?Mixing norse mythology with cthulhu?
Just use norse mythos. There's plenty to work with there without resorting to aliens
As it should be. These list leaks never do the games any justice. It just reads like a bunch of throwback fan service stuff and generalizes everything down to the most basic level. We all know how much love and care they put into literally everything in their games. Seeing the thing in motion is my next get hyped moment.
I've been playing this lately actually...
The soundtrack is also bona fide extreme metal composed by an ex-Celtic Frost member too :)

This is what set my BS meter off too. Either you know Patches is in or he isnt. Being vague about it does not make any sense if you stop and think about it.
Also this has to be one of the most underwhelming leaks or just someone trying to rethread old ground because it makes them seem more credible. Everything just screams Dark Souls 4.0.....boring zzz.
Maybe it works out better when the game gets revealed and we know how the game functions but I was hoping they might try some new ideas for ER, assuming this leak is legit.
Do we think this will still be launching on the PS4 and Xbox One or did this move to next-gen? I have a PS5 so it's not a big deal but is an interesting question imo.
No news about platforms, but I really really doubt they'd abandon the last-gen versions, at the very least. It'll probably be either last-gen, or cross-gen.
Please no Dark Souls 2 situation. It hurt the game really to not have a next-gen version ready at launch.
Yeah in my opinion I think those images look exactly like the concept art from the Dark souls 3/ Blooborne/Sekiro artbooks. Also the red headed warrior is actually from the trailer, I've looked online and I can't find any fan art that looks like that. It's too detailed. I feel like a fan art woudn't include all the minute details of the armor / give him two swords/ and the depict horse in the way its framed in the leaked image either. This character was also only in the trailer for like a second. The bullet point stuff just sounds like vague guess work.

Not to go too far off topic but, how is it? I've seen it around but thought Slain kind of sucked so I never gave this a shot.
I actually think it doesn't quite resemble what we are used to seeing. While the designs are rad they look like very early drafts. Not quite final art you find in their artbooks. Maybe it's the low quality that's messing with my perception of them.
Yeah? idk to me they both look like something out of the dark souls 3 artbook. Also the low quality rough draft aspect that you mentioned actually convinces me its real. If you look at the warrior art its actually quite detailed and almost looks like a mockup of a battle scene. I feel like a fan art of this on artstation or twitter wouldn't depict this scene of this giant warrior fighting the fish helmet horse warrior in this way. They would most likely give the giant one sword as he has one in the trailer and more accurately portray the horse knight clashing with the giant as we see in the trailer like this. https://preview.redd.it/h9gsmh863p4...bp&s=89d5bf19315a4f8d8d5411d93491a01b0b160be4. It just looks too official to be a fan art to me. https://i.4cdn.org/v/1609266235366.png
Based on whats describe legit sounds like the best game ever. Dark Souls bosses withy dynamic day night and weather going to produce the most epic moments in gaming. But I'll take it with a grain of salt.
I liked Slain (the "Back from Hell" edition) myself, but this game improves on it in every way. The level design is much stronger, enemy variety is greater, there's solid weapon variety, etc. Basically a heavy metal themed Contra type of game. I'm terrible at it, and haven't finished yet, but I'm having a good time. Music is dope too!
Oh for sure, not saying it's fan art. It's probably the small size and low res that's throwing me off. It's something about the composition of them and with those backdrops that makes me think they were either early sketches or intended for something else than to be showcased in an artbook. The only thing I'm questioning about this whole thing are those bullet points.
Yeah I see what you mean for sure. I guess I mean the art direction/ style of those pics just scream peak Fromsoft. Like unless someone finds a link to an artstation that has these I'm convinced it's real. The grosteque crowned king whos like fused with a snake also somewhat tonally reminds me of the crowned figure with green robes and multiple arms bursting out of them from the Elden Ring trailer. https://preview.redd.it/p3wyhmeau98...bp&s=5490fbc8a80cc8f6b9d6970b593211eca37c9eb4 . yeah the bulletpoint stuff is too vague and just appear to be guesses but I'm just hyped from the pictures.
The concept art is real.
The written information about Yggdrasil? Who knows.
But take a look at the teaser trailer again from 570 days ago... and in the first scene you'll notice some tree rings on the platform where the person is hammering... Oh, is that tree bark in the background too?
The hype is real. I've been fulfilled more than I have leading up to Cyberpunk 2077, and I waited the full 8 years for that game.
