Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director for some of FromSoftware's most notable releases and best-selling fantasy writer, George R.R. Martin, are teaming up for a brand new action-RPG title from FromSoftware. Martin may be better known as the author behind the fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which served as the basis for most of the entire Game of Thrones TV series. Miyazaki is best known for creating the various Souls titles, Bloodborne, and the recently released Sekiro.
Their joint venture is called Elden Ring, an "epic fantasy title" that sounds like it will be right at home with fans of other action-RPG titles from FromSoftware. Elden Ring doesn't have a release date yet, but it will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on PC via Steam.
Expect to see some familiar gameplay to Dark Souls. From what I've been hearing, the biggest difference between Elden Ring and the Souls games is the fact that Elden Ring is an open world title.
“Collaborating with George R.R. Martin to create the ELDEN RING mythos has been a genuinely delightful experience and a source of wonderful inspiration. The team is working hard to ensure that the world of ELDEN RING will be a fascinating place for players to explore, filled with peril and wonder from its furthest reaches to its lowest depths. This is a FromSoftware title through and through, rich in fantasy and RPG action. We sincerely hope you look forward to it.†Said Hidetaka Miyazaki, President of FromSoftware, Inc. and Game Director for ELDEN RING.
