This summer promises to be rich in novelties for lovers of video games with information on games in development and announcements of new games to come. The E3 show starts on Saturday June 12, but the festivities kicked off last night with the Summer Game Fest. In a two-hour event, developers and other guests took turns talking about their creations.
Perhaps the most important information is a new trailer for Elden Ring. This Game, much anticipated, is the result of a collaboration between Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls, Bloodborne…) et George R. R. Martin (Game of Thrones). Released at the end of Summer Game Fest, the trailer shows gameplay and announces the release for January 21, 2022.
