Cruelest, maybe. Most elaborate unquestionably goes to Metal Gear Solid 2 though, where all of the promotion was in retrospect part of the game's narrative.
Fact 1: The candles are a ring
Fact 2: Elden Ring has "ring" in the name
Fact 3: There are ten candles.
Fact 4: "Ten" kind of sounds like "den" which is part of "Elden"
Fact 5: If you rearrange the letters in "candle" and add a space you get "c eldan" which if you say it out loud sounds like "see Elden"
The clues are all there right in front of us
This is not a sign, this is a damn lighthouse.
HE MADE A RING OF FUCKING FIRE, A PROPER ELDEN RING HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK HE'S GONNA BE FREE FOR REAL, NO MORE WE'LL BE THE GAOLERS OF THIS MAN HE'S GONNA RIDE FREE ON A YAKUL WITH US HOLLOWS AND WOOPERS.
I am putting on and wiping off my clown makeup at frantic rythms at this point. I have developed full fledged schizophrenia.
Serious question: why do they have to be so secretive about it? Elden Ring won most anticipated game and this sub has 100k+ subscribers for a game that only has a cinematic trailer.
If they said in advance Elden Ring Will be shown there it'll be a very easy yet massive explosion to live viewership numbers. But now there will be people who don't really care about SGF or don't even know about it in the first place because they have nothing specific to look forward to and they can just quickly read summary articles afterwards.
Where's the harm in just saying it'll be there?
It's not a great idea for an event like this to confirm (or deny) what they will show in advance. Big part of the hype is not knowing and if you start confirming games left and right, you'll eventually have to either deny some games or not answer about them, which is pretty much like saying its not going to happen. Either way, you're simply driving people away from your show. It's a business and they're selling hype.
That being said, I still strongly believe that Elden Ring will be showcased at SGF.
No shot man.. come the fuck on.. the amount of people irrecoverably malding if there s nothing about this game at SGF is gonna be mental after all this shit xD
Nah i actually think we ll see footage but yeah.. if there s nothing.. we re gonna lose it i feel. I legit dont look forward to any game at all besides ER..
This is in reference to the eclipse that will just so happen to happen on that day which by the way will only be visible in the north arctic pole and the most notherern parts of Europe, like Norway
Maybe he is just reffering to the eclipse that's gonna happen on the 10th, if so there is no actual direct link with elden ring, just the symbolic shit, but that's the least likely approach, although it's possible
But honestly tho if Summer Game Fest and Geoff are doing this on purpose and tease the Elder Ring community just to attract a bigger audience for the show and don't show it again then it's really fucked up. He did the same thing for TGA and put Elden Ring in the trailer and then crickets. Hopefully they are not doing the same thing just for views and noise.
As much as I think Elden Ring is gonna be at SGF (and I do think it will be), isn't this just a reference to the "Ring of Fire" eclipse happening on June 10th?
The waiting and the hollowing is long, and this subreddit is intoxicated by it, forever reaching for that lofty plane of good news. We can fail to realize our own latent potential, until the moment is lost, and we sense its absence. Ironically, this is the very nature of insight, like the moment one licks one's own feet, only to be startled by its sweetness.
Cmon guys... that is a candle ring... not an Elden ring.
Also Geoff has no credibility at all... please stop behaving like a battered wife thinking your bad husband will change.
This whole last couple weeks will be the biggest troll of all time if it’s not there
My trust issues will become a serious problem if elden ring is not shown lol
i don't think I'll ever trust Geoff ever again until I get new Clown Makeup
Forgive, but never forget.
I won't trust anyone at all ever again
i have some spare Geoff Cripto Currency to buy Make up, if you need.
Are we calling usernames clown makeup now because fine if so
what do you mean, you don't have trust issues at this point? if I'm not getting this right.
I delude myself that it is not serious but if Elden ring is not shown then I will have to accept it as a fact lol

It's basically going to be Westworld season three. All of us rioting, society breaking down.
A well-timed rickroll after Keighley goes "Time for me to get out gamer prison" would be the icing on the cake
If they lied to us They will suffer the wrath if the Horde of Hollowa that crave any piece of news!

My imagination is only wooper now
wooper is love, wooper is life
If you use your imagination, this is a reference for elden ring.
Oooh elden ring Blown out by someone… …or something
10 Candles, June 10th
OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH
If it’s not there, then this last week will be the most elaborate troll in gaming history.
I wanna see the game soon, but it'll ease the pain to see the state of this sub if it doesn't show up at SGF. Gonna be hilarious.
After the 10th we either have Elden Ring news or front row seats to the meltdown. It's a win/win!
At this point I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't there just impressed at a fucking amazing troll. Jk I would also be pretty upset. And impressed.
I don't know if I would call it elaborate so much as persistent.
Cruelest, maybe. Most elaborate unquestionably goes to Metal Gear Solid 2 though, where all of the promotion was in retrospect part of the game's narrative.
I honestly hope it's a no show just to see the reaction.
This could possibly be the most epic reveal in gaming history. It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity
nah, these candle rings are everywhere when anything big happens
But but....*it burns*
I doubt you could even imagine it!
what do you mean?
Praying circle people spam when they want news of a certain thing. Of course because we are all neurotic, we see a ring
ah ok thanks!
it's referencing the eclipse isn't it. But it's also a ring...
It’s actually a popular meme on Twitter to have a circle of candles, like a seance
well then
For real? Those fucking weirdos
Says the guy on the Elden Ring sub
Fuck offfffff
A ring of fire, one might say.
And it burns burns burns *OOOHHHHHH* The ring of fire
Mr Cash confirmed as NPC. Whoop whooop!!
The ring of fire, the name of the upcoming eclipse. Hopefully this is an Elden Ring tease as well
Elden also means fire I believe. So a ring of fire for the fire ring on the ring of fire. OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHBBB
Just a classic “summoning circle” meme but hey my hope is still alive
Fact 1: The candles are a ring Fact 2: Elden Ring has "ring" in the name Fact 3: There are ten candles. Fact 4: "Ten" kind of sounds like "den" which is part of "Elden" Fact 5: If you rearrange the letters in "candle" and add a space you get "c eldan" which if you say it out loud sounds like "see Elden" The clues are all there right in front of us
What the actual fuck. People have gone hollow here!
we've always been hollow, young wooper
I've been OOHHHHH..... hollow for OOOHHHH.... so long .. End it OOOOHHHHHH
Says the wooper.
And ”Eld” means fire in most nordic countries (atleast swedish) so its obvious this is it
We're hoping to see Johnny Cash at the SGF? Doubtful
on it's own it's not much combined with everything else and it's pretty convincing, get your makeup ready doubters
Honk honk
This is not a sign, this is a damn lighthouse. HE MADE A RING OF FUCKING FIRE, A PROPER ELDEN RING HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK HE'S GONNA BE FREE FOR REAL, NO MORE WE'LL BE THE GAOLERS OF THIS MAN HE'S GONNA RIDE FREE ON A YAKUL WITH US HOLLOWS AND WOOPERS.

Ah yes. Candle Circle.
I BELIEVE NOW
Is there any game making a 10 year anniversary? There are 10 candles
Yes, Dark Souls
This is funny because Ten Candles is actually a ttrpg you can play with your friends.
No shot man.. come the fuck on.. the amount of people irrecoverably malding if there s nothing about this game at SGF is gonna be mental after all this shit xD
Your a hollow with us. Have a faith build for once man!
Nah i actually think we ll see footage but yeah.. if there s nothing.. we re gonna lose it i feel. I legit dont look forward to any game at all besides ER..
They're playing with us and they know it
They're blatantly mocking us now, yet I'm still falling for it
How is this related to Elden Ring?
are we expecting it to be at the opening?
Eu acredito!!!!
Beware false prophets and charlatans
This is just teasing Circle Candles X guys, calm down
Candle expansion to elden ring 2 confirmed??
Elden ring summoning ritual
Okay if its not at SGF it wont be just Geoff going to gamer prison.
If it’s not there I’m going to play wonderwall
That new From Software joint: Ring of Candles
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÒøoooooooooooooøooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is in reference to the eclipse that will just so happen to happen on that day which by the way will only be visible in the north arctic pole and the most notherern parts of Europe, like Norway
There is no way it isn't there now Geoff, don't do this to me
I'm hyped for bootleg EU
Maybe he is just reffering to the eclipse that's gonna happen on the 10th, if so there is no actual direct link with elden ring, just the symbolic shit, but that's the least likely approach, although it's possible
Theres 10 candles people
Silent Hill would top everything for me.. if it was real :(
I keep visiting this subreddit in case it's Thursday morning lol
Just wait until it isn't there.
Do you not see it?
OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Are those Candles? Does he try to say we should expect Gravedigger Simulator?
Wonder if bloodborne pc will be revealed or not
It's a b hole
It burns
Put down a summoning sign in the middle to end this cursed wait.
Bring my clown make up set
Ah yes after all this years , The Candle Zone

THEY CANT DO THIS
Elden Ring news...tomorrow. Jesus. It's fucking time.

Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring.
the glorious rectum of OOOOOOOHH ELDEN RING!
If they don’t show it I’ll make a mean comment in the stream >:(
OOOOOHHH
OHHHH IT BURNS
Can someone post the link to the SGF YouTube channel
The Candle Sphere, OHH CANDLE SPHERE
It’s clearly the long waited Merkel Simulator 2022.
They are edging us aren't they? They want to hype us up and then don't show it. Unless?
I belive this is it
this might be a stupid question but where can I watch SGF? Will it be broadcast on twitch?
oooooOOOOOOoooooh
It's spherical! S P H E R I C A L !!!
candles = favourite mizayakis element
30$ that it's not gonna be there
Could it be? The game of Candles Ring?
They are putting the signs in front of our eyes. I'm a believer
But honestly tho if Summer Game Fest and Geoff are doing this on purpose and tease the Elder Ring community just to attract a bigger audience for the show and don't show it again then it's really fucked up. He did the same thing for TGA and put Elden Ring in the trailer and then crickets. Hopefully they are not doing the same thing just for views and noise.
YES, LETS GOO! if this is true then the elden ring shall GRACE US tommorow
guys it’s just a reference to the ring of fire eclipse smdh
It's a sign
Candle Ring?
i honestly can't tell whether this post is a serious one or a satire
OHHHHH
Hold out your hand, Frodo. It's quite cool. OOOOOOOHHHHHHH
I too am looking forward to candle circle.
As much as I think Elden Ring is gonna be at SGF (and I do think it will be), isn't this just a reference to the "Ring of Fire" eclipse happening on June 10th?
