Most of what we’ve heard of Elden Ring this year has been rumors and speculations. Speaking of which, a well-known Chinese Soulsborne creator has apparently leaked some details about the upcoming title. Over on Reddit, user Slit08 summarized the leak as follows:
The game world is based on the world tree from Norse mythology (Yggdrasil), and also references some elements from Celtic mythology. The gameplay is similar to Dark Souls as has been reported before by various sources, but the map is much larger,. New features are dynamic weather and day/night alternation. Imagine you fight with a wandering boss from day to night, he said, and the weather changes from sunny to thunderous. Game development stage has been completed in the first half of 2020 and is now in the polishing stage.
As usual, take everything with a customary grain of salt.
