What you need to know

  • FromSoftware's Elden Ring does not currently have a release window.
  • Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently confirmed he has played "quite a bit" of Elden Ring.
  • Spencer also believes it is the most ambitious game yet from director Hidetaka Miyazaki.

In an interview with GameSpot, Phil Spencer talked about the launch of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, as well as different upcoming. When the topic of the much-anticipated Elden Ring came up, Spencer stated "I've seen actually quite a bit. I've played quite a bit."

While he couldn't given any real further details into the game, Spencer also said that he's played all of the games from Miyazaki over the past decade and that "...this is clearly the most ambitious game that he's done."

With that reassurance that parts of the game can be played, hopefully we get to see more of Elden Ring sometime in the near future. In the meantime, if you're looking for a new FromSoftware game to play, the studio's classic Demon's Souls is being remade for the PS5.
