Dodging once again appears to be a valid defensive strategy, but the combat also allows players to break the enemy’s stance like in Sekiro. Interestingly, Elden Ring‘s combat looks like a mix between Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Obviously, both of these things have appeared in FromSoftware games before, but they seem much more integral to Elden Ring‘s combat. Magic use seems much more prevalent, as is ranged combat with a bow and arrow. It’s unclear if Elden Ring has those kinds of restrictions. While it’s possible to equip more than one weapon in Dark Souls titles, doing so comes with a weight penalty. The trailer shows players constantly switching up weapons. We also get to see several different weapons and fighting styles. By that we mean there’s a man who is a pot, and he’s stuck in a hole in the ground. We get to see some open-world exploration of The Lands Between, a very FromSoftware-style moment with a dragon flying in out of nowhere, twisting and turning dungeons, and a big pot man. The gameplay preview seems to have a little bit of everything. Developer FromSoftware has finally revealed gameplay footage from Elden Ring with a nearly 20 minute long trailer.
