Trailer analysis:

1:21 --> Centipede Demon
1:45 --> Ds3 Firekeeper
2:10 --> the goddman Nameless King

Also Morgott's voice actor says some lines.

What even is this man.

Just a quick theory:

There was so much open-endedness to the question of what came before TLB, including from above and below. There are intersecting lines of thought and narrative between the setting of Elden Ring and the ending of Dark Souls as a series, giving one the freedom of imagination, as per Miyazaki.

However, there is just straight-up Nameless King. Lore-wise, he would be among the very, very few entities that basically ignored the consequences and ongoings of everything in Dark Souls beyond the point he abandoned Gwyn's army to join up with "Dragons" - he WOULD be this intact, if there are to be now-real lines intersecting the universes.

But, it was always quite easy to auto-complete some details of Elden Ring after having played Dark Souls, right? There's a fairly nihilistic trudge through a broken kingdom(or several) that have been crammed together forcefully; lands seeming to jut out of one another.

The Dreg Heap, for example, and The Ringed City DLC by which it is accessed, is a more extreme, and far less dignified metaphor for the ultimate fate of the Dark Souls universe; whereas, TLB seems to be a more peaceful evolution thereof, long after the fact.

The last bit of lore to point out is that Dragons are really the "top dog" in this game, and in the Souls series. Gwyn's war? Totally pointless. A complete loss for his empire, that only saw the evolution of Dragons into a cornucopia of offshoot races rise above and beyond the ruins left in his family's wake.

They lived on, prospered, and even gained a champion; The King and ruler thereof completely sovereign to the world's fate, likely Gwyn's Firstborn, has moved his kingdom on.

It's almost prophetic, that the Greater Will is of a Dragon-kin nature, manifesting as such to challenge the player for the fate of TLB. Nothing really bigger than that is within the scope of the game, and just outside of said scope is the possibility that some immortal, corporeal Dragonbro God might just stumble across it.

tl;dr cheap asset reuse etc. etc.

The good thing is we can pretty much keep interacting with the AWESOME people of the already existing community! Full Co-OP ALL THE TIME! No PVP or socially awkward RL 1 wretches.

This is going to be goooood.

3 player team-fights versus bosses and enemies* is what the focus looks like.

I honestly have no idea how to feel about this. If it had been another dlc it would be more exciting, I guess.

No idea what to think about coop action for up to three. Sounds good on paper, but I'm somewhat sceptical about how it'll turn out in the end.

Going to be very good

I hope that my scepticism fades eventually. More Elden Ring is pretty cool, after all.

I mean, combo moves? Cool in concept, unsure about a lot of things too.

The Centipede Demon may be a weird one, but, if you've brushed up on Buddhist/Shinto mythology and whatnot, it kinda checks out. Remember Sekiro...
