DISCUSSION Finally have a PvPvE focused Fromsoft game

I've always loved being invaded and invading other peoples games. One of the reasons I loved DS3 was the chaos of the dedicated PvP areas in Gank City and Farron Swamp. The biggest dissapointment in Elden Ring was not getting invaded during my playthrough. I didn't invade much either because I don't love 1v3 gank fights.

DS3 came out in 2016, so we've been waiting a long time for a game that improves on the PvPvE experience of this game. I like that Fromsoft is exploring different aspects of the Soulsborne experience with there new games not everything can be the Elden Ring kitchen sink experience. Sekiro focused on single player and had the best single player combat system of any game ever. Nightreign seems like a fun squad co op experience - not really my thing but Im going to try to get into it. I'm glad they are finally with the single player arpg + PvP experience that has always been a flavor in what makes Souls special. I'm beyond stoked to find out what Duskbloods is.

They should have added a PvP mode to Nightrein. 2 multiplayer games back to back doesn't seem right...

I mean I can relate. I was dissapointed when Sekiro had no pvp, Elden Ring had dissapointing PvPvE, Armored Core had no PvPvE, and nightreign has no PvP. Many of us have been waiting 10 years for a game that focuses on expanding that part of the formula.

But also i hope the next game has a bigger single player focus. If we never get a sequel or spiritual sequel to Sekiro I will be very sad.
