A number of rumors about From Software's next game, which some are calling Great Rune, have cropped up over the past several weeks, with one that has been heavily circulated indicating that the unannounced From Software game pulls from Norse mythology. However, a new rumor has emerged, and it suggests that the new From Software game does not take from Nordic folklore, but is instead inspired by Celtic mythology.

Last night, a known From Software leaker, who accurately revealed details about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice prior to its announcement, made a lengthy post on ResetEra, a popular forum for video game discussion. In this post, the leaker praised From Software's new game, stating that "it feels like From [Software] is firing on all cylinders" with the title, and buried in this highly complimentary post were what appeared to be clues about the game.

Fans immediately began trying to decipher these clues, and something emerged quite quickly: some unique capitalization in the post spelled out "Scotland UK." This discovery started speculation that From Software's new game would be rooted in the old stories of Scotland, and another established ResetEra community member promptly added a massive amount of fuel to the fire with a post that reinforced this theory.

Specifically, the post from the second community member stated that the new From Software game "takes a lot from Gaelic, Celtic, and general British Isle," and continued by indicating that there is "some really creepy stuff in the game" and that the "dark fantasy [is] through the roof." Indeed, it seems that players may find themselves encountering monsters inspired by legendary creatures from Scottish folktales in From Software's new game.

To note, the aforementioned From Software leaker has maintained that the new From Software game will be shown at E3 2019, and last night's post reminds fans that the E3 announcement is "only the beginning." This seems to suggest that the From Software E3 2019 offering may be a simple teaser trailer, which would be in line with the reveal tactics employed for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Fortunately, with E3 2019 less than two weeks away, fans do not have to wait much longer to see if this From Software leak ultimately proves true. Even if that verification only comes as a very brief reveal, without showcasing gameplay, that will likely be enough to keep the excitement around the game going for many From Software fans.
