FromSoftware has had fans wait patiently for more news concerning the elusive Elden Ring's development, which was announced at E3 2019 with no official information or reveals announced since. Because Elden Ring was first announced two years ago, fans are eagerly anticipating news arriving in this month and are expressing their thoughts online.
Rumors have circulated about Elden Ring's appearance at Summer Game Fest and E3 leading up to both events this month. At this point, with Elden Ring having so little information shared to fans, the point of contention is relatively high and fans are extremely excited to hear any news whatsoever. This has led to fans sharing memes and posts that portray their frustrations and worry that Elden Ring may still not be shown. That said, fans' sentiments prove that the excitement for Elden Ring has not calmed since its announcement.
Shared onto r/Eldenring, many fans have begun posting creative and hilarious memes about their excitement and concerns. Some fans' memes are satirical, with their hopes of Elden Ring making an appearance during E3 or Summer Game Fest being diminished. Fans have also posted screenshots of Geoff Keighley's description of Summer Game Fest, where the fan has underlined "long-awaited updates" to emphasize the chances of Elden Ring appearing.

Oooooohhhhh from Eldenring
Further, one meme in particular depicts r/Eldenring chat members as rampaging into chatrooms for E3 or Summer Game Fest as rumors continue to emerge. Otherwise, fans are expressing their patience thinning and that the wait of only four days is nearly over by counting down the days until Summer Game Fest's kickoff celebration on June 10.

The memes shared are comical, but they represent the community's general thoughts toward how little of the game has been shared to fans. Rather, fans unexpectedly received a leaked Elden Ring trailer featuring new mechanics and a low-resolution look at gameplay. Elden Ring's gameplay footage leaked from a supposed trailer, which developers were perhaps hoping to reveal during an official showcase.
It is possible that the leaked trailer might be the chosen gameplay that FromSoftware decides to show, or a completely separate trailer altogether. With the amount of time from when Elden Ring was announced getting longer, fans may expectantly hear news regarding its development. With Bandai Namco appearing at Summer Game Fest as part of a scheduled lineup of developers and publishers, Elden Ring fans have made it clear what they want to see.
Fans who do not want to be disappointed should watch each showcase conference this month with the consideration that Elden Ring may not appear. Nonetheless, fans will not have to wait long to hear if Elden Ring news is indeed being shared at either E3 or Summer Game Fest.
Elden Ring is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
