FromSoftware has released 15 minutes of new gameplay footage from Elden Ring, the studio's highly anticipated next game.
The new gameplay can currently be watched over on YouTube and Twitch.
The gameplay is comprised of multiple segments, each looking at Elden Ring's many fundamentals. While looking much like Dark Souls in many ways, there are clearly many differences in the way Elden Rings plays. The open world provides a somewhat Skyrim-like atmosphere, something particularly heightened when a dragon descends on the player character out of nowhere.
The gameplay reveals that Elden Ring's bonfire alternative are known as a Site of Grace, and project rays of guiding light that can be used to find new areas. The open world nature of the game means you can ignore such guidance and go wherever you please.
A map, built out using map fragments, can be customised using pins to highlight finds such as crafting materials or dangerous enemies. Much like in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, beacons can be placed on the map that appear as pillars of light in the game world, for use in navigation.
Elden Ring will release on February 25, 2022, although those who signed up for the closed network test may be able to play a small section from November 12-14. Previously, IGN was able to see 15 minutes of gameplay which we spoke about in the first Elden Ring preview. Over time, we've learned a lot about Elden Ring, including its soul-collecting mechanic, and how its large, free-form map works.
