The fire ring

A close-up of a dark, textured eye fills the screen, with the text "ELDEN RING" overlaid, before the scene cuts to a wide shot of a lone rider on horseback approaching a distant, ruined castle under a dramatic red and orange sky. The sequence continues with a floating island shattering into pieces, a lone figure standing on a desolate red landscape, a city being struck by beams of light and lightning, and finally a misty, mountainous fortress shrouded in fog and clouds.
