FromSoftware has released one hit after another ever sinceDemon’s Soulsin 2009. The studio is coming off a Game of the Year win forSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and fans are now looking forward to what’s next. As it so happens, the next game from FromSoftware is the highly-anticipatedcollaboration withGame of Thronesauthor George R.R. MartincalledElden Ring, and its release month may have just been revealed.
FromSoftware released a New Year card on its website that claims theElden Ringrelease date will be in June 2020. This is possibly just a placeholder release month or even an error, but since its on FromSoftware’s own website, that seems unlikely. Furthermore, this actually corroborates a previousElden Ringrelease date leak from retail chain Target, making the June release month seem even more likely.

Back in September, Target leaked that theElden Ringrelease datewas Tuesday, June 30. Many assumed that was a placeholder date, but since June 30 lands on a Tuesday, it being the real release date has always been possible. After all, video games typically release on Tuesdays and Fridays.
As for when a more formal announcement will come regarding theElden Ringrelease date, that remains to be seen. Previous rumors have suggested thatElden Ringwill be showcased alongside the Xbox Series Xat an event taking place in April or May of this year. Even thoughElden Ringwill be coming to current-generation consoles, the rumors say that Microsoft will be using the game to showcase the power of its next-generation console.
Whether or not any of this is accurate is suspect, and those looking forward toElden Ringshouldn’t mark anything on their calendars just yet. We haven’t even seen gameplay ofElden Ringyet, and so it’s difficult to gauge how far along the game is in its development. Considering this, a June release date forElden Ringmay be far too optimistic.
Regardless of whenElden Ringcomes out, it’s sure to be a big release.FromSoftwarehas become one of the premiere game developers in the world thanks to itsSoulsseries and other titles likeBloodborneandSekiro, so fans have put a lot of faith into the upcoming George R.R. Martin collaboration.
Elden Ringis in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
