Elden Ringfans have suffered many devastating disappointments thus far, as the game has no-showed a number of high profile events since it was revealed in 2019. However, if Geoff Keighley’s recent tweet means what gamers think it does, the wait to seeElden Ringin action is almost over.
For context, the tweet seemingly backs up the notion thatElden Ringwill be at E3. Specifically, the game will apparently be shown at Summer Game Fest, explaining Keighley’s playful Twitter tease. Set to host Summer Game Fest, Keighley would likely be the one to present the game. With nothing official shown forElden Ringsince it debuted at E3 in 2019, seeing it appear at the same event two years later seems fitting — and Keighley re-revealingElden Ringwould finally help him get out of “gamer jail.”

Geoff Keighley’s recent tweet sees him post a gif of a baby panda trying to climb out of a crib. The text on the gif reads “I will break free,” with the adorable bear trying to escape the makeshift prison. While the gif is undoubtedly adorable, it would be a random thing to post forthe Summer Game Fest host. Fortunately, there is a good reason for this to be posted, as it references a viral jokeElden Ringfans made about the industry icon near the end of 2020.
Given all the rumors and theories in the lead-up to last year’s Game Awards, many wereexpecting to seeElden Ringshownduring the event. However, much like other events, it did not appear, and gamers responded by jokingly imprisoning its host in a prison. Twitter user @9_volt_ was responsible for the viral Tweet, and the image shows Keighley surrounded by some red lights on The Game Awards’ stage. With these lights creating the makeshift jail, the meme works well, and it seems like Keighley is making a clear reference to this joke with his recent panda Tweet.
As a result, gamers believe thatElden Ringfootageis imminent. Redditor FlannOff also compiled some more teases about this big moment, including a clip of industry insider Jeff Grubb saying that Geoff Keighley has theElden Ringtrailer ready to go. With ResetEra comments from insider Omniponent also hinting at the Summer Game Fest showing, it seems more likely than ever that gamers will finally get to see some newElden Ringfootage.
WhilemoreElden Ringmemeswill surely flow if the game does not appear at E3, fans have good reason to be optimistic about these latest teasers. As odd as it may seem, this random panda gif from Geoff Keighley actually holds a lot of weight, as it seemingly sees the host confirming that he will be showing offElden Ringduring the Summer Game Fest.
Elden Ringis currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
