Elden Ring fans really seem to have it pretty rough. A collaboration between Dark Souls developer FromSoftware and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin sounds like everything fans of dark fantasy action RPGs might ask for.

But years later, the lack of updates on the project has many Elden Ring fans frustrated. Now, some have once again taken their grievances to Twitter ahead of Sony’s State of Play broadcast on Thursday.

Quite a few clowns showed up in tweets, in addition to several other popular meme formats. Meanwhile, at least one person seemed to be attempting a magical ritual to summon updates. A tweet from @clockedbyhappy expressed their emotions with a gif showing a mushroom man clobbering a player from Dark Souls. Other tweets included a clip of United States President Joe Biden and screenshots and clips from popular TV shows such as King of the Hill and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This is far from the first time that Elden Ring fans used memes as a coping mechanism. Many fans themselves are aware this isn’t a new phenomenon. Several commented that this happens whenever a gaming convention or trade show is around the corner. Other fans noted how they propelled Elden Ring to the top of trending through the sheer volume of memes. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make FromSoftware divulge any new information about its upcoming game.

Development of the open-world RPG reportedly began in 2017, shortly after the release of The Ringed City DLC for Dark Souls 3. Billed as an “evolution” of Dark Souls by director Hidetaka Miyazaki, Elden Ring will reportedly feature a large open world along with mechanics like horseback riding and mounted combat. George R. R. Martin contributed by writing the backstory and much of the underlying lore.

Unfortunately, there’s been precious little news since that announcement. In December, FromSoftware’s Marketing and Communication Manager released a statement thanking fans for their patience and continued enthusiasm. He also indicated that COVID-19 contributed to the apparent delay, but hinted that there would be further updates in 2021.

So far, though, that’s yet to be the case, at least not through official channels. In January, an industry insider hinted at more Elden Ring news within the next few months. That insider was Venture Beat contributor Jeff Grubb, who has an impressive track record in predicting major releases. Still, vague promises don’t seem to be cutting it for anxious fans.

Elden Ring is in development.
