Waiting for news aboutElden Ringhas proven to be a challenge for its dedicated fanbase, but in order to make the process easier, they’ve come up with some pretty creative stuff. Fans couldspend hours reading fakeElden Ringlore created by fansto fill the gap in marketing material, and there’s plenty of amazing fan theories and artwork for the game as well. Now Redditor annawintery has made their own contribution with a recreation of one of the trailer’s most iconic scenes, but there’s a twist. The whole thing is done up in a stunning pixel art form that’s as eye catching as it is impressive.
For those that haven’t kept up withElden Ring’s development, the reveal trailer for the game was shown back in 2019 at E3, but since then there has been little to no news about it. Scraps of hope have been found here and there in small updates from industry insiders or the developer, but beyond that fans aren’t sure when to expect the game.

Annawintery’s pixel art recreates the scene in the trailer where a figure holds up what appears to be a decapitated arm. After a short while, other arms come into frame and start grabbing at the person. This scene is fairly creepy to watch, but it fits with theaesthetic that fans have come to expect from FromSoftware. The accompanying voice line seems to mean more now than it did back in 2019, however. “I doubt you could even imagine it,” also the caption on annawintery’s pixel art, seems to be taunting fans that still know nothing more than they did a year and a half ago.
In response to annawintery’s art, fans are extremely supportive. Many compare their art to a professional piece of work in a pixel game, while others simply shower on praise to the artist. In turn, annawintery seems grateful for the praise and equally proud of her work. This type of thing isreminiscent of theBloodbornePS1 remakeor other retro takes on the popularSoulslikefranchise.
For the time being, there’s nothing new to report onElden Ring, but that may well change sometime this year. The most recentrumors claim that fans may finally get an official update sometime this March, though these are just rumors and should be taken as such. Regardless, in the meantime fans can avoid going hollow by appreciating amazing work by annawintery and other talented artists in theElden Ringcommunity.
