From Software's George R.R. Martin collaboration Elden Ring gets first trailer

Coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

We knew it was coming, thanks to our old friend pre-E3-leak, but From Software's much-rumoured collaboration with Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin is finally official - and has received its first airing in a brief but atmospheric new trailer.

There's some striking imagery and excellent music in there, but other than its extremely Souls-y ambience (and a very Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice detachable limb), not much is given away. We do, however, get a few hints as to the nature of the titular Elden Ring, "which commanded the stars, giving life its fullest brilliance", now "shattered by someone or something".
