When Elden Ring was first revealed at E3 2019, I had no idea it would become so special to me. I remember cheering with glee when Hidetaka Miyazaki's name first appeared on-screen, then gasping at the name that followed: George R.R. Martin.
Before I could fathom a collaboration between these two creative powerhouses, a foreboding voice cut out from the trailer: "I doubt you could even imagine it."
