Elden Ring delayed to February 25th, 2022

Some supposed leaked (bad) gameplay footage is doing the rounds also

In game development, the flow of time itself is convoluted, with projects centuries old phasing in and out, so we shouldn't exist surprised that Bandai Namco take delayed the launch of Elden Band. The long-awaited new game from the makers of Nighttime Souls was expected to launch on January 21st, but now it's due on February 25th. Sounds like the usual reason: they want more than fourth dimension to make it practiced, yes? Oh, and supposed leaked gameplay footage is doing the rounds, though I warn you that it'southward a bad and disappointing clip.

Bamco did non say "We want more fourth dimension to make information technology skillful," listen. Oh no. That would be far too straightforward for a Soulslike.

"The depth of the game and the degree of freedom in strategy exceeded the initial expectations, hence it has been decided to extend the development fourth dimension for concluding adjustments thus moving the release date to Feb 25, 2022," they explained. Alright there pal, settle down.

They're even so waiting for Game Of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin to submit the last script of NPC barks, I reckon. Trying to figure out if he can talk them into replacing "Grenade!" with "Splinters is coming." It's just too long for a bawl conveying critical information only he's insisting that with a vocalism actor speaking at Far Cry ii speeds... give over, George.

Bamco likewise appear a 'closed network test' to requite select players an early peek in November, though that'south but on Xboxes and PlayStations so plllrrbbbb. Not that I'd desire to spoil the surprise of seeing Elden Band for the showtime fourth dimension by playing it in limited, exam format.

A supposed leaked clip of actual gameplay from the Xbox One version has been bouncing effectually the cybernet beyond the weekend, with lawyers playing whack-a-mole trying to shut it down. Search Twitter and you'll likely find a re-create. But information technology's a bad clip. 28 seconds long, bad video quality, but shows a fella continuing around, jumping, and bothering some birds, not at all exciting. But maybe you need to see it to believe? Honestly, I'd rather have non seen it. Continue that magic alive until it'south in my easily, babe.
