Following rumors of its reveal by March end, Elden Ring’s newest trailer has apparently been leaked and circulated online among chat groups. Videogameschronicle has reportedly seen the trailer, which showcases off-screen footage (and can’t be reshared due to being “Bandai Namco confidential”). The trailer has narration that states, “I can only imagine what drives you to seek the Elden Ring. I suppose you can’t be talked into turning back. Very well then!”
This is followed by various gameplay bits, from Souls-like combat, horseback combat in the open world, a boss battle against a dragon that breathes fire and an opponent with a large sword. Elden Ring is referred to as “an all-new fantasy action RPG franchise from the creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro” in the trailer. No release date is mentioned among the bits seen.
It’s worth noting that Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who said a reveal was coming “relatively soon”, tweeted, “This is what I meant when I said there’s tangible evidence we’ll see it soon.” However, he further noted that it’s better to wait for the real deal. The leaked footage is apparently “blurry, angled, and only part of the trailer.”
Elden Ring is in development for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. According to Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg, it won’t be showcased at the company’s rumored event this month. So it’s more than likely that it’s simply released to the public. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

The leaked Elden Ring footage I've seen is blurry, angled, and only part of the trailer, so I don't think it'd be a terrible idea to just wait for the real thing
