Bandai Namco has dropped one more trailer to mark this week’s launch of From Software RPG Elden Ring.

This one’s a little less explanatory than the one from over the weekend, but more atmospherically sets the scene for the journey across The Lands Between. You might want to avoid if you’re wanting to go in cold, but everyone else? Well, you can expect a moody but dramatic introduction to the Tarnished’s journey and the battles ahead.

If you’ve somehow managed to avoid everything else so far, the game features a more open-world style overworld map. You’ll be able to explore most of it freely, but expect plenty of dangers and monsters along the way. You’ll still be able to explore some more traditional legacy dungeons though, if you’re a Souls purist like that. And in case you’ve any doubt to the narrative pedigree, the backstory has even had a little help from Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin.

Check out the Elden Ring launch trailer below, then all there is to do is wait for the release. Not long now, as the game arrives this Friday, February 25 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.
