A leaked Elden Ring trailer is being circulated online (SPOILERS BELOW)

That’s true. But I don’t know, lately I haven’t been too fond of real challenging games anymore, I lose patience real quick. I wouldn’t be able to cope with Sekiro now and fights like Lady Butterfly. Aw hell no :stuck_out_tongue:

Not every game is for everyone. I for instance are absolutely horrible at fighting games and up button mashing my way through it. However some games do require some basic knowledge what to do. I decided these games won’t ever be my cup of tea and I accept that.

OH don’t get me wrong though. Dark Souls 1 is my shit. Once I defeated the Taurus Demon I was into that game like no other, hooked. Dark Souls 1 and 2 didn’t have these multiple stages in boss fights. If you only meant Sekiro, yeah it’s possible it isn’t my game after all.

Man, that was so hype. I always know to trust Speshal Ed when it comes to leaks. Always delivers, never falters.

Even with difficulty levels these mechanics are so annoying they would kill a real RPG for me.

The hero we need but not the one we deserve.

My hope is that it has tons of different kingdoms like at least 6 of them. Snow kingdom, tree kingdom, underground kingdom, fortress kingdom and so on.

But for clarification, this isn’t the trailer BN intends to show us, right? Hope they don’t want too long.

nope, this is a pretty old version meant for internal use. There is the “confidential” watermark on the leaked video with words linking to Bandai Namco Shareholders or something, so it’s likely this was meant to sell the game to investors, shareholders, etc.

A youtube channel that does daily updates on Elden Ring caught that. Also, he caught that the video mentioned “From the Creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro”. That is generally not done in public trailers because these are all IP owned by different people. Bloodborne is owned by Sony whereas Dark Souls is owned by BN, and publishers don’t mention properties that aren’t in their control (like Bloodborne). So that lends credence to this being an internal trailer.

Also - The animations, textures, model quality all seem very janky and placeholder-ish. Also, it looked waaaay too similar to Dark souls, they reused a lot of assets in it. Further credence that this is just some pitch or concept trailer.

All of this does nothing to prove that BN might want to release the trailer, as this was internal stuff only and already dated by now so they might not be phased as much.

The trailer they will show however shall imo be a lot higher quality and more recent. When? No idea. Maybe that Bandai Namco next?

Later this month maybe?

Yep, could definitely be this month. Jason did say it would be soon. I guess soon can still be April.
