From Software announced its dark fantasy role-playing game Elden Ring back at E3 2019, promising more open-ended design and a world created with George RR Martin's input. Since then, we've heard basically nothing about the game, and the developer knows fans are clamoring for more information.

As part of a thread mentioning the new content update for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, From Software acknowledged players' enthusiasm for Elden Ring. It also might be begging for us all to chill for a while as the developers work on the game.

Elden Ring will be a return to role-playing gameplay after the action-adventure focus of Sekiro, but it looks like it will be a bigger game than the Dark Souls series. Sekiro also had more direct storytelling than some of the studio's past games, which could be the case with Elden Ring because of Martin's involvement. However, we don't expect the game to lose From Software's tendency toward environmental and contextual narrative.
