Now that gameplay has finally been revealed for Elden Ring, the long-lost mystery of what Miyazaki and GRR Martin's collaboration can finally be brought to light. In many ways, Elden Ring remains firmly along with the pantheon of Souls games with innovations all its own. Rather than rekindling the bonfire, the chosen Tarnished that the player portrays instead is tasked with restoring light to a fantasy world not unlike what's been seen before in Dark Souls thrice before.

Five different character archetypes are available to experience in the Elden Ring Closed Network Test. I went with the Wolf, a mixture of medium armor, a two-handed sword, and a lightning elemental surprise in the first item stash that imbued my weapon with an element as well as the ability to cast a lightning bolt when the greatsword is wielded in both hands. Something I found immediately fascinating was the ability to wield either weapon's equipment in both hands, so you could readily two-hand that small buckler shield if you so felt inclined (as someone that regrettably skipped over Dark Souls 3, I had no idea this was a previous feature).
