This new Elden Ring screenshot is so simple and yet so exciting at the same time. Here is a bear, FromSoftware-style – and you just know it’s going to absolutely kick your ass.

News Elden Ring Dev Feels the Heat of Demon's Souls' Sumptuous PS5 Remake
But graphics not top priority

Hands On FromSoftware Puts Its All into Elden Ring
Rise, Tarnished
Elden Ring feels like everything FromSoftware has been doing for the past 12 years all at once.
