A leaked trailer of Elden Ring allegedly circulating in online chat groups has surprised the internet as gamers search desperately for the video clip. This weekend, rumors flared up about an impending rediscovery of the expected FromSoftware release, leading to a Microsoft denies rumors and even talk about a potential Bandai Namco live stream.
Now it has been reported that the title material has leaked – and VGC claims to have seen it. Although the video cannot be shared for legal reasons, the publication notes that the screen outside the screen is considered confidential and that it is ‘Souls-style melee combat’, boss fights against a fiery dragon and a large, sword swinging enemy, and a look at horse fights in a large, open environment ”.
The track – which confirmed its existence by Jason Schreier, Bloomberg Journalist – is said to be only a small portion of the trailer, and no release date is shown. VGC reports that the title has been delayed internally several times due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The publication, citing sources familiar with the game’s development, says the game is unlikely to launch this year.
Nevertheless, the existence of a confidential preview suggests that – as reported over the weekend – a rediscovery may be imminent. We can not imagine that it will take too long for this leaked footage to go public, although Bandai Namco will undoubtedly fight the fires behind the scenes. This could be an interesting day for FromSoftware fans.
