Rewatching the trailer now for some details.

Could this

Be pre-Shadowrealm Miquella? It's obvious he whisks us to the shadow realm which is seemingly an alternate universe or the past or something. Maybe he crawls out of Mohg's egg and this is him trying to pull the gold alloy barbs out that Mohg used to bleed him. He's the avatar of Abundance, so I always assumed he was just in a catatonic state inside the egg. You see him at the end in his full golden glowy form, but I'm betting this is right after he leaves the egg.


Good call, he's got the serpent eyes too. Wonder if he's like an alt universe young Rykard or Rykard/Tanith's son.

Im pretty confident that he is a miscarried child of Rykard and Tanith but he lives/is the lord in the Shadow world, or this Shadow world is a mirror world of sorts with that has different events that played out. Miquella has a plan to use the Shadow world for something is all I know.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This game is a perfect mix of beautiful and creepy.

Yep. They nailed the beautiful oppressive world.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Congrats to the fans. Looks amazing. I suck at these games despite owning and trying most of them lol

 

[DemWalls]

Meh, Lords of the Fallen looks better.

Spoiler

I'm only half joking, I do love how LotF looks.

 

[Danjin44]

[Danjin44]

They knew....

 

[DemWalls]

I'm not sure how I should interpret this

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I am gonna need to actually find out WTF was going on in the base game now.

 

[Del_X]

Why is the base game still full price?

 

[near]

Looks absolutely amazing as expected. Too tired to attempt to dissect the trailer for myself today, waiting for that inevitable VaatiVidya.

 

[Fake]

With the Serpent Im inclined to believe he is connected with Rykard.

Could be Godskin.

 

[Boralf]

Dark Souls 3 is also still full price.

 

[MagnesD3]

Could be Godskin.

Godskin is more of everything though with the connection to the crucible. The serpent imagery, the eyes, red hair from radagon for the rykert connection too much to ignore imo.

I mean, could be a person workshiping to Godskin.

The red hair can be related to being Radagon son, not necessarily Rykard.

I mean, the giant also have red hair, no?

Today has been a great day for game announcements! And speaking of that, it looks like this June we'll be getting a Snake Boy with Shadow of the Erdtree and Snake Girl with SMT 5 Vengeance.

Funny that both have red snake and coming out same day!

 

[rofif]

Let me use this moment to remind - GOD DAMNIT PLAY THIS GAME WITH HDR !!!
Looks stunning on oled!
(Also - You can see my late and early build comparison. Screenshots are like 70 hours apart)
(pic to showcase relative hdr)

 

[Chuck Berry]

Dark Souls 3 is also still full price.

It's also on PSN sales like every other week for $30.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I have a feeling that it might get a physical release as well (no reason not to considering how popular Elden Ring is). I bought the PS4 launch edition as it ran better than the PS5 version, but I might get PS5 physical for this one even if the frame-rate might not be as stable as the PS4 version.

So... I was kinda half wrong on this Danjin44 . There will be a physical release as well, but the DLC will be a voucher/download code and most likely the disc will contain the same old Elden Ring game build. Fml Bamco...

That what I figured.....This not like Torna Golden Country DLC in Xenoblade 2 which was in separate menu.

You access Shadow of the Erdtree through the based game.

Yeah, but the DLC being a voucher code is annoying, especially as Bandai Namco previously made a GOTY version of Dark Souls 3 with all the DLC included on the disc.

So there's no real point in getting this new version if you already have the physical edition of the base game, just get Shadow of the Erdtree directly from PSN (at least that's what I plan on doing).

 

[Icymanipulator]

It looks good for sure, but something about it didn’t do much for me. I’ll likely get it and play it, but put me in the camp of, more of the same, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing

Yeah I'm gonna just do the same.

 

[sachos]

Reminded me of Returnal's House.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Wholy f***!

 

[Ulysses 31]

Isn't it a bit silly how the Collector's Edition DLC costs 100$ more than the main game CE did?

 

[Danjin44]

And people complain FROM games are not "high tech" enough. Look at this aesthetics, most high budget games with high tech graphics can't even come close to this.

 

[FunkMiller]

Obvious day one. Wonder how long it will be? 40 hours plus?

 

[sachos]

So... I was kinda half wrong on this Danjin44 . There will be a physical release as well, but the DLC will be a voucher/download code and most likely the disc will contain the same old Elden Ring game build. Fml Bamco...

Lets hope at the very least its the updated base game on disc, not just 1.0. What a shame.

 

[Pancakes and Sausage]

My only complaint is that June isn’t right now.

I will play this relentlessly and I can’t wait to find new weapons and spells.

 

[Kokoloko85]

In Miyazaki we trust… always

 

[Pejo]

I just noticed the thing with the weird beast head that couldn't keep its jaw shut was 2 dudes, one standing on top of the other, doing a Chinese Lion-dance type thing with a hollowed out shadow-bound beast torso.

Fuckin' cool.

 

[kungfuian]

No Shadow of the Erdtree Edition for steam? Right now only seeing them separately which means $100 vs. $80. I have base game on PS5 but would like to play on my higher specced rig, it's only $20 but still sucks. Maybe they'll add the option to Steam later?

Search it in the search bar and you should find it

Thanks, doesn't show up when I use the search bar but when you go to the regular standard edition page it shows it there.

Masters of art design. Incredible stuff.

 

[Well_Of_Souls]

I can't wait for more Elden Ring, and the June release date will hopefully see me through the summer drought.

I'm getting Sekiro vibes from the scene set in the glowing blue field, but the whole art style is phenomenal - nobody does that mix of creepy/beautiful/oppressive like From does.

 

[near]

This design looks creepy as fuck.

 

[winjer]

And people complain FROM games are not "high tech" enough. Look at this aesthetics, most high budget games with high tech graphics can't even come close to this.

But they are not.
In technical terms alone, From Software is very lacking.
But their artists are god tier. Despite having such a lackluster engine to work with, those artists are doping miracles.

 

[GermanZepp]

When this shot appeared I had to pause and say "WOW".
The art style of this game just keeps on giving, such good artists they have, fuck me.

Having read all Berserk recently (because i want it to kown all the influence on the Fromsoft games) this is straigh out "inspired" by the manga. 100% the vibe

Art design destroys graphical fidelity every single time.

See also Tears Of The Kingdom.

Or Immortals of Aveum. A game that uses UE5, an engine that is much more advanced than anything From Software ever made, but looks a lot worse than Elden RIng.

 

[Northeastmonk]

These are sweet photos. This one is a walking fire pit. It takes me back to Witcher 2.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’m going to have to go back and refamiliarize myself with the game before this releases.

I’m sure I’m rusty as hell.

 

[Big Baller]

Any news on the controllers?

 

[Fake]

Funfact:

The golden veils/lines from this erdtree are similar to the golden veils/line from Radagon hammer on the first trailer.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

[MagnesD3]

This is what im wondering too since they implied a second dlc in 2025.

They are envy because this game don't have a 300M budget.
