Back when Elden Ring was first announced, one of the game’s big selling points was that it features a world co-created by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. More recently, that aspect of the game has been downplayed a bit in favor of trailers and gameplay emphasizing Elden Ring’s From Software flavor, but the game’s latest story trailer, revealed at The Game Awards, gives us a better sense of the world Martin co-created with Hidetaka Miyazaki.
We hear how the “Rune of Death” was stolen, and how that led to the downfall and corruption of the demigods. We hear how the Elden Ring was broken, see massive battles, and a showdown between the last two remaining gods. It all definitely has a Miyazaki-flavor to it, but it feels a bit more epic, a bit more fleshed out, than his usual stuff. You can definitely feel Martin’s influence. Check out the latest story trailer for yourself, below.
