Every Age ends. Even the Age of Stars will one day. Except Frenzy Flame of course. There’s only going to be the One Great for them.

[up] still works considering they too are tied to the Moons and Stars.

Oh this will be very entertaining.

Def buying this online because fuck region locking.

I was very curious to see what would happen at the end of Ranni's journey, we'll see then.

The narrating voice still referring to it as the Lands of Gold so Ranni probably not in charge.

Is this before or after the events of the game?

Or plot twist, Blessing of Despair is canon. [lol]

[up][up][up]Guess The Lands Between is the new world that rose from the ashes after The End of Fire.

Might also explain why the Nameless King and his mount are here. With the Fire somehow coming back to life, the Gods of Anor Londo are returning.

Okay, I rewatched the trailer and yeah, that's Morgott's voice. So this might be a prequel.

Apparently it's a co-op survival roguelike? I don't really play multiplayer anything anymore so I just hope it'll be playable offline.

Anyway, speculation time: the "Night Lord" is the Lord of Hollows

One day, we will read his name in the news and cheer.

I'm interested because when I play Elden Ring, I've sometimes had my friends over and cheer me on, so now I'll legit be able to play better with my friends on a couch if it supports that. I generally prefer to fight the bosses alone since I prefer my fights more intimate, but I can roll with this.

So what we can take from this is that The Moons and Stars embody are a new Age of Dark

Given the Night motif, the way the land darkens in the trailer, and the appearance of the Nameless King, it seems that both the First Flame and the Dark Soul haven't been fully extinguished.

[up][up] Makes sense, stars shine brighter in the dark, and Ranni already has lots of ideological similarities with that ending of Dark Souls.

It's already been confirmed to be non-canon, a parallel world.

The "Night Lord" is the title of whatever boss is at the end of a run, which is apperently chosen like a hunt from a Monster Hunter game.

I don't expect much - if any - lore from this. Just a fun little spinoff.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Shadow of Erdtree lost at the game awards to Metaphor. Oh this is just such a delightful outcome.

So now we know why Erdtree was even nominated by a corrupt awards show, it was to lead into the co-op game.

So I called my friends, and damn, we’re already making plans to play together when this drops.

Anyone else interested in the co-op aspect?

PCGamer put out a video detailing more about the game.

It sounds bizarrely like, of all things, Prey: Mooncrash; remixing the game's core concepts into a roguelike-esque system, with a set of predefined characters with unique abilities and meta-progression between them.

And I'm not surprised they want to get every inch of mileage out of every asset, plus tide things over while they work on their next major title.

Honestly, it just might work, especially if it's well-balanced for both co-op and solo, and the price isn't crazy.

I wasn't watching the awards show because I was busy so you can imagine my shock when my Twitter feed was COVERED in Elden Ring news. I thought it was fake at first tbh... anyways, I'm excited for any new potential scraps of lore to make the world slightly less ambiguous.

Best advice I ever got? Keep repeating the joke till everyone is forced to laugh.

Reminds me of those Elden Ring randomizer mods that have gotten pretty popular for challenge runs.

It's definitely something of a departure for the Soulsborne franchise.

I'm very interested to see how it plays. This is one of the few co-op games I'm hyped for.

I'm still not over the fact that we're getting a playable (legally distinct) Lady Maria in Elden Ring before we get Bloodborne on PC
