Elden Ring Releases New Overview Trailer To Prep Fans For Release

The long wait is nearly over as Elden Ring recently dropped a new overview trailer for the game in preparation for its release at the end of this upcoming week. After long stretches of no information as well as some delays, FromSoftware's new open world title will finally come into players' possessions on February 25.

Fans have been excited for Elden Ring ever since the announcement trailer debuted back in 2019. Until this past year, however, details for the open world title were minimal as development had to adjust to a world in a pandemic. Last year's gameplay showcase, however, catapulted Elden Ring to one of 2022's most anticipated games and the hype has not lessened since. Now fans only have a few more days to wait before the title finally comes home.

In preparation for its debut, Elden Ring's final marketing push has begun and now features a new six-minute overview for players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. There is a lot that fans of FromSoftware's games will recognize in the trailer, yet the main focus is on what is new. Much of the information provided in the overview is nothing those who have closely followed Elden Ring's development do not already know, however it does bring it all together to demonstrate how the many mechanics work cohesively.

This combination of design components looks like it will generate a significantly new experience for anyone who has played Dark Souls or a similar FromSoftware title. For one thing, the game's director Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Elden Ring will be less stressful than its predecessors. That is not to say, however, that FromSoftware has removed its notorious difficulty, as certain staples like hard optional bosses and frustrating poison swamps are still part of the overall makeup.

While there seems to be a lot that sets Elden Ring apart from the likes of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, it is understandably still getting many comparisons to its predecessors. Striking the balance of new and old is a tough feat to pull off, but FromSoftware has proven over the years it is a developer certainly capable of meeting that challenge. There are a lot of Souls features Elden Ring fans would like to see in the open-world title, many of which appear to be present, but it seems that they have been combined in a way to make the formula feel fresh. Fans will be able to fully judge for themselves in just a few days.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
