Kadokawa Corp, the parent company of FromSoftware, revealed that its upcoming new games have been delayed due to COVID-19. This, obviously, also includes Elden Ring, a title that a lot of gamers have been looking forward to.
According to the company’s latest FY2021 earnings, Elden Ring may not release by March 2022. Thus, the earliest you can expect to get your hands on this game is April 2022. Now obviously Elden Ring won’t come out in April 2022, but until then we can safely assume that it won’t come out.
To be honest, this does not really surprise us. After all, we haven’t seen anything about this game yet. Hell, even its gameplay trailer (which leaked in March 2020) has not been officially released yet.
My guess is that Bandai Namco and FromSoftware will release this gameplay trailer at E3 2021 as Bandai Namco will be present at this gaming event.
Lastly, here is an off-cam video, showing six minutes seconds of in-engine footage from Elden Ring. It doesn’t show much, so be sure to temper your expectations.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Freelance 3D/Concept Artist, Jack Phan, got in touch with us about the leaked video. Apparently its first is from an environment he created. After taking a close look, these environments appear to be the same. As such, this leaked video may not feature actual scenes from Elden Ring.

I bet it will come out after GRRM’s GoT book.
lol
Indeed, because GRRM involvement is just a publicity stunt. He is probably in some sort of “advisor” role.
8K
I thought it was 16K!
in my opinion, their only decent games were Ninja Blade and Bloodborne
the rest is just meant for people who clearly have a fetish for wasting life trying to win a game that has no respect for their effort or time
plus they have always kept the story telling contextual and to a minimum. what’s there to get excited about with GRRM’s involvement
crappy engine, poor animations, terrible animation/response time ratio, horrible voice acting
it it hadn’t been for the music, the art direction and enemy designs they would have gone under by now

P.S. I think you meant 6 “seconds” John
Yeah, obviously 😛
“what’s there to get excited about with GRRM’s involvement”
GRRM involvement is a publicity stunt unless proven otherwise, amazing that people buy the hype, either positive or negative.
“in my opinion, their only decent games were Ninja Blade and Bloodborne”
You mean that horrible QTE fest? And bloodborne is still a Dark Souls clone, way to contradict yourself.
you just have to force feed your opinions to people don’t you?
I said in my opinion. in MY opinion! how can one be so thick as to think they can forcibly change people’s mind!?
please don’t bother again
I don’t want to change your mind, just expose your opinions for the trash it is.
you flatter yourself ?
yours was not an opinion, but a childish outburst that exposed your ‘trashy’ character
good job
moving on
Keep on being a drama queen, boy…
That’s not on them to bring Bloodborne to PC
That’s solely on Sony, they own the IP
what does it matter if grrm is involved?
you are one salty retarded moron, get help. BLM has anything to do with elden ring? with Japanese developers? you are so f*king stupid its not even funny. Just because your jealousy, how’s your basement life going for you? how many books have you written?
Also Elden Ring is not deleyed, it never had release date in first place, zero gameplay was shown… just becouse dsog level of journalism is reaching ign levels it doesn’t mean there was any official release date in first place. Also kodakawa postponed ALL games made by company not just ER so your point about quality is just invalid as you.
yep sekiro ran great on pc.
Same old bloodborne to play again?
Why?
Also its the second worst game in the series, the sort is Sekiro, then bloodborne.
Nothing beats the European Medieval Dark Fantasy style of Demon and Dark Souls and this one is going the same route, I hope it has no dumb guns.
what a dumb kunt.
Lovecraft inspired is rare? Wtf are you smoking? I mean sure, there’s not a lot of games inspired on Lovecraft’s cat…
“showing six minutes of in-engine footage from Elden Ring.” Time flows differently for you dude?
wow that trailer was so good, six minutes felt like six seconds.
2022 yeah now I dont care anymore
I am still excited because GRRM is involved and that other japanese dude
“WAS”
The two guys went seperate ways.
It’s still open world game (meh) but it’s Dark Souls 4 uner new name, not a new IP
So GRRM and “the other japanese” are not “involved” in this game anymore?
So you are excited because of the game’s PR stunt that adds a famous writer who will have little to do with the development of the game?
Shameful video looking like a bootleg B-movie filmed on a cinema screen. 5 years waiting for something to see this Nokia 1220 quality trailer. Meh
delayes are red flags ….if the devs needs to push back the release that means they have no idea when it will be ready so i bet this isnt the only one delay for this . so maybe 2023 ? maybe ?
I woudn’t put much faith that GRRM is gonna destroy the project, he is just a “celebrity dev” meaning he is involved more to attract the attention of the public more than he is involved in the making of this game in any capacity. He can’t even finish his best seller fantasy books lmao, let alone inject his strand of libtardism on this particular game.
People from outside of gaming development don’t have much involvement other than a advisory role.
GRRM’s curse.
