The latest Elden Ring gameplay trailer proves the game is worth the wait

, we finally got a proper Elden Ring reveal, with a January 2022 release date.

In July

, we learned more gameplay details about Elden Ring from Bandai Namco. Unfortunately, in October, it was revealed that Elden Ring was

going to be delayed by a month

to February 2022. We then found out about the

Elden Ring beta

just a few weeks later.

Fast forward to today and FromSoftware just revealed 15 minutes worth of Elden Ring gameplay footage.

FromSoftware's full gameplay demo of Elden Ring delves deep into the mechanics of Elden Ring and is taken straight from the PC version of the game. It makes its Dark Souls roots very clear with the trailer wowing audiences with the vast and massive world of Elden Ring. We're treated to a random encounter between the player and a dragon, which the player fights while mounted.

If it wasn't already obvious before, the 15-minute Elden Ring trailer proves just how much bigger Elden Ring's world is going to be compared to previous FromSoftware titles. What's next for Elden Ring? Only time will tell if Elden Ring will live up to the expectations.

Outside of waiting for the game to release in February 2022, interested players can participate in the game's network tests that will take place later this November.

Speaking of the game's launch, the Elden Ring Collector's Edition was also revealed after the trailer. The $189.99 version of FromSoftware's upcoming title is available to pre-order from Best Buy, Target, and GameStop. It comes with a steel book with Elden Ring artwork, a 40-page artbook, a complete digital soundtrack, and the status of Melania. Buyers will also get a digital adventure guide and a bonus gesture item. However, neither of these bonuses are exclusive to pre-orders. It's also worth noting that the Collector's Edition will come with three art cards, three stickers, a woven patch, and a poster, which are the same freebies included in the game's Launch Edition. We can expect Bandai Namco to clarify which editions come with which in the coming weeks.

In addition to the Collector's Edition, Elden Ring will also come in another special edition, the Premium Collection's Edition. The limited-edition bundle comes with everything that the Collector's Edition will have along with a 1:1 replica of Malenia's helmet and a display stand.
