Summer Game Fest 2021's opening day closed out with a new Elden Ring trailer and the Elden Ring release date.
Elden Ring will release on January 21, 2022, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The new Elden Ring trailer finally gave us a detailed look at the game in motion, including a brief glimpse at classes, not unlike Dark Souls, enemies, and a bleak, beautiful world.

The trailer follows a hero of unknown origin standing against the powers of darkness in many forms, including dragons, the undead, and more.
