Elden Ring tells its tale in new story trailer

And the demigods began to fall

Throughout the last year, we’ve been getting snippets of the story of Elden Ring now and again, with a lite understanding of the world. The development team has rightfully shown off the gameplay more than anything, letting us whet our appetites for the on-screen action.

Now, with the game just a couple of months away, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have released a beautifully dark new trailer that gives us a much clearer look at that backstory. As war erupts amongst the demigods in the world known as the Lands Between, the Elden Ring — the game’s take on the LOTR’s One True Ring — is broken, sending shockwaves throughout. The demigods begin to fall, leaving few survivors. With the throne barren and the broken ring up for grabs, there’s a new focus on gaining the ultimate power.

The trailer above serves as a compliment to the chunky Gameplay preview video released last month (which you can see below).

Elden Ring arrives on February 25, 2022 on PlayStation and Xbox platforms alongside PC.
