The visuals and sound design in Elden Ring are amazing. But it's hard to appreciate them when you're dodge rolling for your life, heart racing as you search for a tiny opening in which your sweaty index finger can spam R1. If only there were some way to sit back and be immersed in the game's grand orchestral score and epic boss battles, without the imminent threat of death.
Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure couldn't have come to London at a better time. The orchestral performance took place April 28th, less than two months before Shadow of the Erdtree arrives in June. You could feel a palpable sense of anticipation for the DLC in the air. The concert provided a perfect rundown of the game so far, flowing from major boss to major boss with snippets of… ahem, lands between. It was a fantastic recap and a fun alternative to rewatching the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer for the 1000th time, and it only made me more excited for what's to come in the expansion.
