Take a Closer Look at Elden Ring, Now Available for Pre-Order on the Xbox Store
Will Tuttle (He/Him), Xbox Wire Editor in Chief
Yesterday, fans got their first look at gameplay from Elden Ring, the highly anticipated action RPG from the minds of “Game of Thrones” author George RR Martin and FromSoftware visionary Hidetaka Miyazaki. Over the course of a 15-minute video, the team shared a bit about the game’s story, environments, combat, and much more. Players will take on the role of a Tarnished that must battle through hordes of enemies in an attempt to become The Elden Lord.
The video showed off a closer look at Elden Ring’s vast world design, with the meticulously designed Lands Between bringing unprecedented immersion to FromSoftware’s largest game to date. We also got our first look at the game’s Legacy Dungeons, which are large, multi-level dungeons that evoke classic FromSoftware level design seen in games like Dark Souls.
