Exactly how this translates to the final game is unknown, but with what we saw in the network test, the world is full of discovery, even in that small slice. While the core foundational tale of the Tarnished and The Lands Between appear to have some significant similarities to the Dark Souls right now, the world itself and much of that history is yet unknown, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see exactly what happens. Martin also notes how video games have become bigger than films in the entertainment world these days. <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/georgerrmartin.com\/notablog\/2021\/12\/18\/long-long-ago\/\"><span><span><span><span>You can check out the entire post over on Martin\u2019s official blog here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span><span> Martin also notes that Elden Ring looks \u201cincredible.\u201d On that final point, I\u2019m inclined to agree.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Elden Ring is scheduled to arrive on February 25th on Xbox One, Xbox Series X\/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
