E3 is happening right now in Los Angeles, and one of the more exciting pieces of news (and there have been quite a few big announcements) is that Hidetaka Miyazaki (creator of the Souls series of games which included Demon Souls and Dark Souls) and George R.R. Martin teamed up to create a new world for Elden Ring from FromSoftware, Inc. and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc.
The fantasy RPG title will be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. No date was set, but after seeing the trailer they released, I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
