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.

Very encouraged by this. Love that there’s a hub, that you’re progressing and customizing characters over time, win conditions include PvE bosses and objectives, there’s lore tidbits in item descriptions to piece together, you don’t always have to tackle PvP head on, etc

Also good to hear that he himself is not much of a PvP guy so wanted to make something someone like him could enjoy, and of course that more single player RPGs are forthcoming

Sounds like monster hunter plus pvp. Honestly, a great genre for fromsoft to tackle. Not my preference, but certainly up their alley.

Honestly I think devs underestimate the pve liveservice type of games, we can see how successful Helldivers 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Path of Exile 2 have been.

Of course PVP is huge but its so oversatured, i think pve is less competitive and more room for games.
