Thailand's live-action Elden Ring ad is worth four minutes of your time
Plus, a look inside Ming-Na Wen's training room.
There's a lot going on in this live-action advert for Elden Ring, which publisher Bandai Namco has produced for Thailand.
I don't want to explain too much - frankly, I'm not sure I can - but it's safe to say this is not your typical video game commercial.
Strap yourself in for three minutes of family drama, childhood flashbacks and a mildly creepy grandma - all before any footage of Elden Ring appears at all. (Thanks to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad for surfacing this on Twitter.)
