FromSoftware's devs don't like using "Souls series" to describe Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne
Elden Ring director and FromSoftware studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has commented on the "Souls series" and "SoulsBorne" monikers for the developer's games.
Elden Ring director says the expansion's new weapons are 'a main selling point,' including double-bladed shields, reverse-grip ninja swords, and acrobatic martial arts
One of the real «oh crap» moments from Shadow of the Erdtree's reveal trailer was when a guy dressed like a vicar launched into some flying kicks straight out of an '80s Hong Kong martial arts movie. Not only do FromSoftware DLCs often play host to their games' best experiences, but they also usually have a monopoly on the coolest weapons too.
Elden Ring Theory Points to Big Connection Between Malenia, Messmer, and Miquella
An Elden Ring fan theory suggests that there could be a mind-boggling connection between Malenia, Messmer, and Miquella. While Malenia and Miquella are familiar characters to the players who played the base game, the unveiling of Messmer in the trailer of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has sparked curiosity in the fanbase.
FromSoftware tried something new with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree: "We wanted to go more in-depth and bring a denser and richer level design"
FromSoftware is changing its approach to level design with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Miyazaki says Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's map is "probably" bigger than Limgrave, but he also said the base RPG would take about 30 hours and it took me 125
The Souls games, or whatever umbrella you want to put all of FromSoftware's action RPGs under, collectively redefined an entire genre and literally defined a new one in the form of Soulslikes. So it is immensely amusing to hear creative director and studio boss Hidetaka Miyazaki describe this success, in an interview with Eurogamer, as: "Players seem to enjoy our games."
Palworld has achieved more players in 2 months than Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy managed in a year
Just one month after launch, Pocketpair says Palworld (or, as we've called it, "the Pokémon this sinful world deserves") has now surpassed 25 million players across Steam and Xbox.
Elden Ring Player Count Spikes After Shadow of the Erdtree Reveal
Elden Ring's player count on Steam has seen a significant jump since the reveal of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion, ballooning up to nearly double where it was just a week ago. Excitement for the Elden Ring expansion has been building for some time, but it appears the first look at the new content is actually getting fans to jump back in and potentially attracting some new players as well.
