As if attaching the name of the famed Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin to a game developed by FromSoftware (Souls and Armored Core franchise) wasn't enough to drum up the kind of excitement that'll last for years, a gameplay trailer of the game had to be leaked.
Elden Ring caused quite the stir at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference and it's making rounds once again in its first-ever unofficial reveal.
Our First Look at Elden Ring
Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg reporter, recently took to Twitter to confirm that gamers can expect to hear more news about Elden Ring soon, and it seems he was right.
Well, unofficially, anyway.
A leaked Elden Ring gameplay trailer is currently making rounds all over the internet. Video game news site, VGC, was the first to confirm that they've seen the footage for themselves. However, they refrained from sharing the actual video to avoid potential legal issues. But, if it's any consolation, they did go on to detail exactly what they saw.
The leaked Elden Ring gameplay trailer kicks off with a narrator's voice. It then treated players to gameplay footage. They describe the combat as a "familiar Souls-style melee combat" that featured boss fights against a "large, sword-wielding foe" and a dragon.
