'Elden Ring' Launch Trailer Confirms There Are Guns, For Some Reason

Elden Ring is nearly upon us. In just a few short days, FromSoftware's latest game will launch around the world, inviting masochist gamers everywhere to die, die, and die again.

In an effort to push the fans' hype over the line from "unbearable" to "I might actually poo my pants if I don't play this game right now", publisher Bandai Namco has shared an explosive new Elden Ring launch trailer. You can check it out below!

Most of the trailer is utterly incomprehensible, in that special way only a FromSoftware game can be. Any hope I might have had that George R.R Martin was enlisted to make the story slightly more accessible and easy to follow is rapidly dwindling, I can tell you that much.

Still, pretty fantasy landscapes to explore and giant monsters to fight are good enough for me. I don't really need to know why I'm doing. I'm buying the game because I want to do these things.

One fun thing PC Gamer spotted around the 1:05 mark amidst the chaos, however, is that the game's protagonist is using an honest-to-goodness firearm. Clearly this is just one of the many weapons that will be at our disposal in Elden Ring, but it's still a little jarring to see a gun - however medieval looking it might be - in the middle of a game all about swords and sorcery.

Yes, Bloodborne had all sorts of firearms, but that was much more in keeping with the overall tone of the game.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Anything that lets me take shots from a distance like the coward I am is alright in my book.

Elden Ring launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 25.
