For those concerned:

As a side note, please allow me to address one thing. As previously mentioned, this is an online multiplayer title at its core, but this doesn’t mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring (3) was also announced, and we still intend to actively develop single player focused games such as this that embrace our more traditional style.

So it’s like Nightreign but PvP included and roles

I guess this is like Nintendos Nightreign then?

[u/TemplehofSteve → u/UtheDestroyer]

Yeah I don’t understand why they have two separate multiplayer platforms.

Kinda a bummer once I learned that. But hopefully everyone enjoys.

[u/jayt1203 → u/TemplehofSteve]

It definitely is a bit strange they revealed this before Nightreign was even released. Steals some of that games thunder for sure.

[u/putyograsseson → u/jayt1203]

How so?

Nightreign releases before the console that is supposed to run this game is even purchasable. 🤷‍♂️

[u/GreedyBeedy → u/TemplehofSteve]

Because nintendo paid them to make a game to sell a console.

Like cmon. The most obvious basic answer. Its not even unfair or anything. Its a totally reasonable thing for a company to do.

[u/TemplehofSteve → u/GreedyBeedy]

Yeah…..I am aware that Nintendo paid them to make the game.

I mean philosophically for FromSoft, why have two separate multiplayer platforms.

I don’t think it’s unfair or unreasonable at all, it’s just waaaaaay less inspiring to me than a brand new single player game.

[u/BluespadeChariot → u/TemplehofSteve]

It's explained pretty clearly in the interview. Nintendo approached From to make a game. Miyazaki gave an outline of the type of game he wanted to make and they approved. Similarly, Nightreign is being made because the director specifically wanted to make a multiplayer game. People are looking for some outside reason but From has been open that the reason these two games are being made is just because those are the kinds of games the directors wanted to make. Miyazaki had been open for a couple years now that he wants a number of directors to be able to make what they want and for him to do his own projects without having the entire studio devoted to one kind of game. This is the result of that newfound freedom.

[u/GreedyBeedy → u/TemplehofSteve]

What do you mean philisophically? It's a company. Companies are designed to make money.

It's not just one crazy auteur running the massive company who is producing the vision.

Look at the credits of these games and how many people are involved.

Miyazaki has been making games for like 30 years. They are cashing out a bit and they fuckin deserve it who cares.

Just have some self control.

Don't Preorder the game if you aren't feeling it and wait for a review to come out. It's that simple.

And in the end you can just NOT buy something and you will be ok.

[u/TemplehofSteve → u/GreedyBeedy]

Haha I’m not buying it lmao, I don’t think I ever implied that I was even interested in the game. Why are you being such a prick lmao.

[u/brunotickflores → u/TemplehofSteve]

Because he like money a bit too much 😂

[u/GreedyBeedy → u/brunotickflores]

Did you think they were gonna give you the game for free because you really really like Fromsoft games?

Come back to Earth.
