Gaming: Latest: More Elden Ring filming leaks: Here's a castle with some suspiciously familiar guys on it

Specifically, it's Conwy Castle in Wales, with some suspiciously familiar guys on it. A live action Elden Ring movie is in the works, as you may have heard, and as is sometimes the way with these things, it's been a little leaky: Not the whole damned game went out two days early kind of leaky, but rather in the form of behind-the-scenes bits and snippets we're not supposed to see. The latest purported leak comes to us from the nation of Wales, where a clip of an old castle watched over by vaguely creepy soldiers conjures thoughts of, as the caption puts it, "Stormveil IRL." I say this is "purportedly" Elden Ring because it's not nearly as obvious about it as previous leaks. This one, from April, very clearly features a church of Marika, and this one from later the same month, well, that's definitely the Loathsome Dung Eater. This new video, shared on Tiktok by mightbeliber (via Culture Crave on X), is more generic: That's definitely an old castle, and those sentries do look an awrul lot like guys I butchered in large numbers in Elden Ring. But nothing about it definitively points to Elden Ring, aside from mightbeliber saying so: Based on the video alone, this could be a reboot of The Lion in Winter for all I can tell. But that's not all we have to go on. In April, North Wales Pioneer reported on the planned closure of Conwy Castle in order to accommodate filming on a project that the site said "could be linked with Alex Garland," the writer and director of the Elden Ring film. Garland also served briefly as a director of London-based company Katana Films, which sent letters to residents impacted by the closure of the castle and nearby facilities. So despite the absence of clear and obvious proof (obvious enough for me to pick up on, at least), I would definitely call it a very good bet that Conway Castle here is going to be an Elden Ring castle in a couple years—although specifically which castle remains an open question that is of course the subject of debate
