With a YouTube Premiere video, the Elden Ring launch trailer was revealed to the world. It shows us a good chunk of the game’s story, creepy enemies, and more, acting as a general overview of what we’ll be doing in the game when it’s finally in our hands. We don’t want to mess with that giant enemy, err, prawn, though. Watch the launch trailer below:

It’s an atmospheric trailer that gives off an impression of the story we’ll unravel and the world we’ll fight in that has been a collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. We are asked to “make of thyselves that which ye desire,” before we are shown some of the beautiful and dark locations that will populate the game’s large map.

Elden Ring releases on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC on February 25. The unlock times of the game have been revealed, as well as when you can pre-load it so it’s ready to play as soon as you are. It’s finally happening.
