Elden Ringwas first revealed at Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, and since then, fans have seen virtually nothing of the game. Despite there being next to noElden Ringnews since its official reveal, the game is still hotly anticipated, to the point that it wascrowned the Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards 2020. Luckily, it seems as thoughElden Ringfans may be able to play the game in the somewhat near future, as it is apparently set to launch this fiscal year.
Industry insider Okami shared some information from a recent investor call that shed more light onElden Ring.Elden Ringis being described as FromSoftware’s biggest game yet “in terms of sheer volume.” What exactly this means remains unclear, but it could be in reference toElden Ring’s open field concept, which is generally believed to offer bigger areas than what fans may be used to from theDark Soulsseries. Alternatively, it could just be in reference to the scope ofElden Ringwhen compared to other games that the studio has developed.

Besides hailingElden Ringas FromSoftware’s biggest game to date, the investor call also claimed that the game is a “priority release” that will launch within this fiscal year. The fiscal year ends March 2022, and so barring any unforeseen delays or other issues, that meansElden Ringfans should be playing the highly anticipated game within the next 12 months or so.
A more specificElden Ringrelease datehas yet to be revealed, but it’s still nice for fans to get this release window. It’s always possible thatElden Ringcould get delayed and fans will have to wait even longer to get their hands on the game, but hopefully development continues to progress well and FromSoftware fans will get to play it sooner rather than later.
As for when thenextElden Ringrevealwill take place, that remains to be seen. Previously, it was believed that anElden Ringreveal trailer would drop in March, but that didn’t happen after some footage of the game leaked online. The next best guess is that moreElden Ringfootage will be revealed at E3 2021, either through the rumored Bandai Namco presentation or during the confirmed Xbox press conference.
Some leaked information suggests that anElden RingE3 2021 revealwill specifically take place on June 14, though that has yet to be confirmed by anyone official. For now,Elden Ringfans can keep their fingers crossed that they’ll get to see the game come the big event this summer and standby for more information.
Elden Ringis in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
