PCG associate editor Tyler Colp and I have devoted an embarrassing amount of our brain power to Elden Ring over the past two years—precious memories of family road trips and childhood friendships eagerly ejected to make room for more deep lore. Well, it's time for all that brain rot to pay off: join us as we speculate, make connections, and give our best guesses about what's going on in Shadow of the Erdtree's first trailer. If you want more than that, well, you'll have to come over so I can show you my personal cork board and string setup—or we can watch the 40-minute VaatiVidya deep dive that just dropped together.
