Elden Ring generated quite a bit of buzz when it was revealed at Xbox's E3 2019 press conference, with many fans excited to play a collaboration between celebrated Dark Souls developer Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. Unfortunately, Elden Ring basically disappeared after its reveal, with no significant updates on the game for nearly two years. However, that all changed when the Summer Game Fest kickoff show ended with the first-ever Elden Ring gameplay trailer.

The Elden Ring gameplay trailer had some incredible sights to show off, with the player character summoning a horse and doing battle with all kinds of horrific monstrosities. Elden Ring's open field concept was in full display, showing off what was basically a far more open twist on classic Dark Souls gameplay. Needless to say, fans of FromSoftware's previous games should have plenty to look forward to when they finally get the chance to play Elden Ring.

Luckily, the wait to play Elden Ring won't be all that much longer. The Elden Ring gameplay trailer concluded by confirming the game's release date. Elden Ring fans can mark January 21, 2022 on their calendars, as that's when the highly-anticipated new game from FromSoftware will launch for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
