As the release date for Elden Ring edges closer, fans worldwide now know precisely what time the game will become available to play, and some gamers will be able to play it before others. The next game from developer FromSoftware was first teased during E3 2019 as an open-world game from the mind of Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin. Fans received no more information after the game's mysterious announcement trailer until the summer of 2021. The significant time gap with no updates led many fans to create their own Elden Ring lore, bosses, and playable demo using ideas of what they hoped to see in the game. The world finally received more Elden Ring details last summer, and what was shown caused fans' anticipation to grow even more.
A lucky bunch of fans was able to test Elden Ring out during last November's Network Test, which allowed randomly selected fans to play a few hours of an early build of the game. The small taste of the new game proved to fans that FromSoftware is using lessons learned from previous releases to make Elden Ring their best game yet. For the last two years, The Game Awards have seen Elden Ring win the Most Anticipated Game award. After years of waiting, players know exactly when the game will be playable across the planet.
