E3: E3 2019: Elden Ring Is The From Software And George RR Martin Game
As E3 2019 gets closer, the leaks just keep coming. The latest confirms the rumored collaboration between From Software and George RR Martin is true and called Elden Ring.
According to Daniel "ZhugeEX" Ahmed, who maintains a reputation for reliably confirming leaked information prior to its official confirmation, Elden Ring is a "new world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin" that is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. We even have a leaked image of what appears to be a teaser or box art. Take a look below.

Rumors for Elden Ring (then identified as GR or Great Rune) described the game as an open-world experience where you explore various kingdoms. Killing the rulers behind each kingdom allows you to unlock their abilities or supernatural powers.
The above image supports this rumor by depicting one giant ring of light encompassing several smaller rings, which looks a lot like one circular crown surrounding several smaller ones. There appears to be a pool of energy at the top of the image that drips down in a straight line to the larger ring, perhaps even drawing additional energy from the smaller rings it must pass through. Perhaps Elden Ring sees your hero drawing power from some mysterious source, only to amplify that power in different ways from the other rulers. Although this is speculation on our part, it would certainly fit with From Software's storytelling, as a similar backstory is used for Dark Souls III's High Lord Wolnir--a king who traveled the lands and drew power from the kingdoms he ground into dust.
The rumors state that Elden Ring has been in development for three years, making it one of the two games From Software began working on after Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The game is supposedly being officially revealed during Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference, where the company is rumored to debut the next-generation Xbox console and fourth Fable game as well.
