There are only four days left for the premiere of what is destined to become one of the most talked about and relevant video games in the video game sector; at least in 2022. Elden Ring opens this Friday, February 25 with the aim of becoming the best souls to date and, To do this, the FromSoftware team and Hidetaka Miyazaki have spent the last few years macerating a work that can now be seen in seven minutes of history, gameplay, chaos, darkness and extension.
Welcome to the Midlands; welcome to the Elden Ring
Because Elden Ring is going to be very big, full of secrets. “Arise, Lightless, and may grace guide you to embrace the power of the Circle of Elden and rise as lord of the Circle in the Middle Lands,” reads the main synopsis of the title. It is that place, the Middle Lands, that will be talked about for weeks, maybe months, in a title immeasurable in both scale and content.
The video in question, completely in English, presents the plot context of the title, in which Queen Márika governs the territory with the responsibility of keeping the Elden Ring protected. In the past, descendants of Márika, all demigods, immersed themselves in the search for the fragments of the Elden Circle; what is known as Great Runes. It was like this when the corruption of the force of these demigods caused a war: The Devastation. “You who have died, but live, with your grace time has lost, walk the path to the Midlands beyond the misty sea to prostrate before the Circle of Elden.”
Bandai Namco has also begun to publish commercial videos on television, small 30-second commercials that demonstrate the interest that exists in the Japanese publisher to make it one of the most distributed titles of the year. In the West, for now, the expectation is maximum.
Elden Ring will be released worldwide next Friday February 25, 2022 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. The title will arrive in physical and digital format in various editions from Bandai Namco. In a few days we will be able to check if it has fulfilled our expectations or not.
