New Delhi: Just a week ahead of its release, various leaks surrounding “Elden Ring” are out. The game’s story will seemingly prove as complex and cryptic as other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, but director Hidetaka Miyazaki has been very vague about what it might include. Following in the footsteps of titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Elden Ring will introduce gamers to a ruthless dark fantasy world filled with powerful enemies and godly bosses, dangerous locations and plenty of cool loot with the promise of dying over and over again and sending them into a controller shattering rage frenzy, pertaining to the inner masochist of Soulsborne players which is only more exciting. With the story written by George R.R Martin, the author behind the extremely popular HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” series, Elden Ring is set in The Lands Between, a kingdom split apart and ruled by fallen demigods. The game will see players embark as a Tarnished on an epic quest to reforge the shattered Elden Ring, by collecting all the Great Runes which are shards of the great ring, in their quest to become the Elden Lord. The title promises to accommodate a wide range of different playstyles, with a variety of weapon types, skills, character classes and magical abilities adding depth to each player’s experience. Like FromSoftware’s past Souls titles, Elden Ring’s recently leaked character creation system will also allow players to customize their character’s appearance and starting stats. Given FromSoftware’s reputation for making titles with extremely cryptic storylines, one can understand the desire for people to look for spoilers. All those seeking to avoid spoilers, as various Elden Ring leaks have already appeared online ahead of its February 25 release, so they best ought to avoid any new videos on Elden Ring. Another one of the big leak takes the form of the fantasy epic’s opening cinematic, a FromSoftware staple which had so far been kept a mystery from fans. In typical Souls fashion, the trailer is three minutes of a doomy scene, full of unfamiliar names and vaguely referenced wars, events from the past etc narrated by in a poetic demeanor. Alongside this intense video, never-before-seen areas and secret locations which Bandai Namco has been trying to hide have been also been sighted in screenshots posted on the Internet. While these leaks may be exciting for those eager to learn more about The Lands Between, fans who want to avoid spoilers should tread lightly until the release. UNI ANV ING
