Elden Ring's new The Game Awards trailer focuses on story

"The Elden Ring was broken, but by whom? And why?" That'south the question presented by the new Elden Ring trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards Thursday dark.

At that place was previously little known virtually the story besides that something called the Elden Band had been shattered and its significance "volition exist one of the of import themes of the game." In the trailer, it's said the Elden Ring's shattering brought virtually a world shrouded in darkness. Demigods claimed the shards and it triggered a war

While a lot of this was revealed in a plot synopsis announced in June, we actually get to see some of it in the trailer, which you lot can watch below.

The trailer, which was revealed past host Geoff Keighley and his pot friend, focuses more on the story of the game, which was crafted past A Vocal of Ice and Burn down author George R.R. Martin and FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki.

We also found it to be more accessible than previous FromSoftware games.

The game is set to come up out in the already-crowded month of February 2022. It'll be available for PS5, Xbox Serial 10/S, PS4, Xbox I, and PC.
