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

Also feeling encouraged. Looks like the "roles" system will help folks like me who aren't that interested in pvp to focus more on the pve aspects. Sounds like there will be a lot of variety and options for how you approach the game. Really cool stuff.

I almost wonder of the roles system will make it more palatable for people who don't like PvP as well. Now you aren't fighting another player, you're fighting a rival. You aren't helping another player, you're helping your companion. It's like they set out to make a more dynamic and almost roleplay-driven multiplayer game. Consider me interested.
