With Hidetaka Miyazaki's development on Demon Souls, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls, he quickly garnered a reputation as an excellent gaming developer. Just when it felt like Miyazaki couldn't top himself, his game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, was released and was instantly hailed as his greatest work.

But Miyazaki wasn't finished blowing the gaming community away. Several months after Sekiro's release, a trailer was shown at E3 of Elden Ring - an upcoming role-playing game developed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and fantasy novelist extraordinaire, George RR Martin. It goes without saying that the geek community went ballistic at the idea that Miyazaki was making a game with the author of Game of Thrones.

Fans claimed they couldn't wait but that's exactly what they were forced to do. Even though the initial teaser was released in 2019, further details about the project were scarce. In October 2021, it was confirmed that the official date for Elden Ring was February 2022.

Despite the fact the game isn't based on any pre-existing work, gamers are just as excited about diving into this action-adventurer than any established franchise, purely because of the developers behind it.
