RETRY: Elden Ring | Part Two is almost here. 

The first episode will debut for everyone on Saturday, 25th May.

We’ll be first showing it as a YouTube Premiere at 7pm BST | 2pm EST | 11am PST | 4am AEST (Sunday, 26th May). Links will be going out on Monday.

We’ve just posted a new trailer not only to get you excited but to also say ‘thank you’ for supporting us on Patreon. We wanted the trailer to illustrate what your support allows us to do.

If you’ve watched the trailer, you might be wondering what’s up with the orchestra?

We’ve not yet talked about this, but early last year when we were developing the series we were on the hunt for some new music for RETRY. In the past we’ve raided online music libraries, and for our Demon’s Souls series, we even licensed the music we used for Prepare To Try. (If you have access to the RETRY: Demon’s Souls Special Edition, you can watch Gav bargaining with a man at Universal in one of the behind-the-scenes videos.)

We’ve always said we want to make this the best long-form Let’s Play in the world. That’s the ambition. We put so much work into every aspect of its production so, we thought, why should the music not receive the same treatment?

So we hired a BAFTA-nominated composer (and old university friend of Krupa’s) Blair Mowat to compose an original theme for us – one we can use for years to come. 

And we even hired an orchestra to record it! That’s what you’ve been hearing on every episode throughout Part One.

We thought now was a good time to tell you all about it. Because your support on Patreon really does make doing wild and epic things like hiring a live orchestra to record an originally-composed theme for a Let’s Play series possible. That’s a ridiculous thing to be able to do: so, thank you. For everything.

Thank you for making us and the show so much better!

We’re so excited to bring you the next instalment of our biggest-ever adventure.

This is amazing - don’t ever stop what you’re doing fellas! TO THE FOOLS!

Mark McDonald

I never would have imagined watching PTT Season 1 that one day y’all would be hiring an orchestra to record a specially composed theme for your show! Just shows how far y’all have come and the quality and dedication y’all have for your content. So proud to support y’all as a Primordial Slug! May 25th marked down, cannot wait.

Stuart Duncan

I love, love, love how you hired an orchestra and composer. As a former composer, I can’t thank you enough for using your hard earned patreon money to support the arts! You are rock stars.

Bradley Jordan

This is why you guys are the best. A live orchestra to record your Retry: Elden Ring theme!? Oooh kinky.

Nathan Eckerdt

Ahhh, a date format that doesn’t make us Americans go “Wait, this is coming out in 2025? I don’t understand.” Looks epic. I love the amount of time and effort you put into your content. You can tell that everything you produce is a labor of love. Thank you for continuing to put out quality content, and for working as hard as you do to engage with your community and keep this an awesome space to hang out. Keep it up, Boys. The Slugs love you.

Lady Vengeance

I just pulled off the entire road on a road trip to watch this. I’m grinning ear to ear. As excited for this debut as I am for the DLC next month 😂

Kenneth Allsop

This is fantastic, and makes so much sense. I work weekends and so often boot up Retry during my lunch break. That opening music gets me unreasonably pumped up from the get-go - it's an absolute belter! Genuinely on par with some of From's finest; spectacular work there.

ecclemon

Hoping for a behind the scenes video on the composition and recording of the music!!

rkg

We won't. Only just getting started!

rkg

Only possible because of your support.

Evan R

Amazing!

rkg

Paying it forward. It's what it's all about. We love doing things like this and, finally, having the ability to do it. We love investing in good work, like commissioning BLOC. to make us original art for our thumbnails.

Linda Kelley

It's been 5 years since I watched Gav put together a puzzle. I was 65 at the time( you do the math). I was a patreon then, obviously. Been one on different levels. Love almost every thing you do. Except the horror playthroughs. Can't watch but I will listen sometimes to hear Rory scream "What's happening here". Your on auto pay so if I don't pay any more, well you know. You are the grandsons I always wanted, thanks for everything you do.

Jon Goodridge

Just when you think things can't get more epic. They only go and use a bloody live orchestra for the intro music!!!

Nathan Rulli

Amazing job with the theme. Who composed it? Also was there a real choir doing the vocal parts?

Rory MacLeod

I am so ready boys (and Aunty!)

Ben Mitchell

Absolutely love the little bts footage of the orchestra and info about it. Lovely stuff.

Abigail Jackson

Not me thinking “wow, they found orchestra footage that matches the opening song” 🤦🏻😂 NO idea they had done this!! Absolutely incredible!

Chetan Gairola
