Behold, oh thou foul Tarnished ones, the leaked end-credits to Elden Ring:

It’s a funny thing to see leaked, if we’re being honest, and also full of spoilers. If you don’t want character names and bosses to be spoiled going into the FromSoftware game many are calling Dark Soul 4, you should not watch these leaked end-credits.

You should wait until February 25th to journey to the Lands Between yourself. You can uncover the lore and history of this strange, forlorn world—created by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki—without the encumbrance of foreknowledge.

Elden Ring is easily my most-anticipated game of 2022, so I’ll be passing on actually watching the above video and will save the end-credits for where they belong: At the end of a game I aim to beat sometime in March.

But you should feel free to watch if your rotten, wasted heart desires, Tarnished One.

I write about TV shows like House Of The Dragon, The Witcher, The Rings Of Power, Stranger Things, Yellowjackets, Severance and many others. I also cover movies, video games, comic books and novels, largely in the fantasy, science-fiction, horror and superhero genres. Some of my favorite video games to play and write about include Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Call Of Duty, XCOM, Mass Effect, Titanfall, The Witcher and many other action, RPG and shooter games. My favorite films include Braveheart, Tropic Thunder, Arsenic and Old Lace, Schindler's List and far too many others to list here. I often discuss the "pop culture wars" and how shifting cultural values impact our art and entertainment. I prefer deep conversations and debate to shouting matches, and welcome readers from all walks of life and all religious and political backgrounds to join in this conversation. Thanks for reading!
