Here's our first look at Elden Ring, the From Software and George R.R. Martin collab

Somehow it's real, as we discovered on Friday. Now we've seen it. The rumored open world game by Dark Souls studio From Software, with input from Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, just debuted at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference. And From Software knows how to make a damn trailer.

Here's what you're about to hear:

"I doubt you could even imagine it. That which commanded the skies, giving life its fullest brilliance. The Elden Ring. Shattered, by someone or something. Don't tell me you don't see it. Look up at the sky. It burns."

Have a look at a few screenshots below.

Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.

When he's not obsessively optimizing and re-optimizing a tangle of conveyor belts in Satisfactory (it's really becoming a problem), he's probably playing a 20-year-old Final Fantasy or some opaque ASCII roguelike. With a focus on writing and editing features, he seeks out personal stories and in-depth histories from the corners of PC gaming and its niche communities. 50% pizza by volume (deep dish, to be specific).
