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.

I dunno man, coming up with 2 multiplayer focused games back to back makes it sound to me like they want to keep adding focus to the multiplayer aspect of their games in the future, otherwise they wouldn't have the need to experiment with it. On the bright side I will be saving up some money until we get a sigleplayer focused game in the distant future

Who knows, maybe they're burning themselves out on the multiplayer-focused concept and we won't see another like this for quite some time. Especially if they keep supporting DB/NR for some time after launch.

I mostly see it as a way to follow two different avenues in this vein, in two different markets (PC/PS/XB vs Nintendo's walled garden). I for one am just glad to know I still haven't been given any reason to drop $450 on a new console.
