I personally believe that one of the reasons the world is the way it is today is due to the absence of one of the most crucial parts of 2000s culture – the AMV. Memories of every single anime series known to man being overlaid with the crunchiest 2000s buttrock tracks still permeate through my mind, and fancams just can't live up to the emotions felt when watching Vegeta go Super Saiyan for the first time to the dulcet tones of Last Resort by Papa Roach.

Clearly, someone at Bandai Namco (who publishes almost every anime game, so they know) feels the same, as in celebration of the launch of FromSoftware's new multiplayer title Elden Ring Nightreign, the publisher has created its own AMV trailer for the new game. The video – posted to Twitter – features a big battle between a trio of heroes and Morgott the Omen King scored with the 2003 classic Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.
