Elden Ring Release Date: What We Know So Far
Elden Ring is the next action RPG from the storied developers at FromSoftware, directed by Dark Souls mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki and written in collaboration with George R.R. Martin of "Game of Thrones"/"A Song of Ice and Fire" fame. Martin will reportedly build out the game's world and lore, leaving Miyazaki to construct the narrative from those pieces.
FromSoftware started development on the title in early 2017, after the release of Dark Souls 3 DLC The Ringed City. It appears likely that development gained steam after From shipped Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in March 2019. The game received its first trailer at E3 2019.
The game then went dormant for the next two years, leaving fans in the dark about development progress. Anxieties around whether or not the game would ever see the light of day were stoked by Martin's propensity for missed deadlines when it comes to his novels in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, but fans now have a release date to look forward to.
