BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment announces
ELDEN RING, a fantasy action/RPG game in
development at FromSoftware that's coming to Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation
4. This confirms
the
report that this is the title of FromSoftware's collaboration with acclaimed
fantasy author George R.R. Martin, who needed some way to fill his free time.
The game does not yet have a release date, but the
official website
is online where you can sign up to stay informed on the project. The site offers
this announcement
trailer with a disarming cinematic look at what to expect, though this is
more mysterious and atmospheric than informative. Here's all they are revealing
about this for now:
Leading interactive entertainment media developer and
publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today announced ELDEN RING™,
an expansive fantasy Action-RPG game developed by FromSoftware, Inc. under the
direction of Hidetaka Miyazaki for the Xbox One, PlayStation®4 computer
