FromSoftware has released a new trailer for its next big game, Elden Ring at The Game Awards on Thursday, and this one features more of the lore that A Song of Ice and Fire (a.k.a. Game of Thrones) author George R.R. Martin helped create with game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
In the trailer, a character known as the Storyteller shares a brief history lesson about the Elden Ring, the Lands Between, and the rising conflict that players will experience when the action role-playing game releases next year.

Fans of FromSoftWare's Dark Souls games will be familiar with Elden Ring's visual style. The new Elden Ring trailer is loaded with lore-heavy exposition that precedes most Dark Souls games.
Originally announced in June 2019 at E3, the fantasy RPG is a collaboration between FromSoftware and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, and it will bring players to the Lands Between as a Tarnished to restore the Elden Ring and become the region.
Miyazaki previously explained how GRRM was involved with the game. Miyazaki described what he envisioned to the famous author: "This mythos proved to be full of interesting characters and drama along with a plethora of mystical and mysterious elements as well," Miyazaki said. "It was a wonderful source of stimulus for me and the development staff. Elden Ring's world was constructed using this mythos and stimulus as a base. Even I myself find it hard to contain my excitement from time to time. We hope that everyone else is looking forward to the world we have created."
