Just last month he said that he <a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/hitfix\/george-rr-martin-winds-of-winter-imprison-worldcon\/\">should be locked up<\/a> if he doesn&#8217;t finish the next Game of Thrones by next year.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now he&#8217;s writing the backstory and world-crafting an entire game with Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki so there&#8217;s a good chance he&#8217;ll be behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>In development for two year, <em>Elden Ring<\/em> was unveiled at <a href=\"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/features\/xbox-gets-the-e3-2019-party-started-with-60-new-games-keanu-reeves-upcoming-console-deets\/\">Microsoft&#8217;s E3 briefing<\/a> despite the fact the title will be coming to PC, PS4 &amp; Xbox. The beautifully rendered trailer (embedded above) gives little away, talking of an &#8220;Elden Ring&#8221; broken by someone or something.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer itself is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3Hvf_dyiEAY\">already be the subject of a million theories and explainer videos<\/a> but is largely a someone smashing a ring, presumably the Elden one, and a bunch of weird medieval set horror. Think Red Woman without her necklace but her hair is forging a hammer or she is the hammer. Who the fuck knows.<\/p>\n<p>This game is so far away there&#8217;s little point in analysing it much further but we can at least pass on the information given to us during a press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Elden Ring is the most ambitious game ever made by From Software and Bandai Namco.<\/p>\n<p>The game is an action RPG, that takes place in an open-world full of danger. According to Miyazaki the definition of open-world is open to interpretation so don&#8217;t expect it to the GTA of Dark Souls.<\/p>\n<p>The world has been created by the critically acclaimed game director, Hidetaka Miyazaki and world-renowned writer George R R Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Together they&#8217;ve worked on the character stories as well as the world&#8217;s mythology.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. Basically fuck all, with little more likely to come for a year or more.<\/p>\n<p>It really doesn&#8217;t matter to me. I, along with thousands of others just need either of those two names attached to a project to warrant me checking it out (and likely buying it).<\/p>\n<p>As long as I&#8217;m not playing Bran or the Three-Eyed-Boring-Bowl-Cut or whatever his name is I&#8217;m down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Old mate Rail Roads is at it again.
