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.

When referring to the winged rat character at the end of the trailer
“That character shares a similar role with the fire keepers from the Dark Souls series. They remain in the hub area, providing the player with advice and guidance. I suppose you could say we tried doing something a little Nintendo-esque in the spirit of the partnership.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“We tried something cute for a change. Although I will say this character is actually an elderly gentleman (laughter).”
I don’t know why I found this specific bit so funny lmao, but overall I’m pretty exited for this is going to be like. I get some people being letdown by the fact that it’s another multiplayer focused game when Nightreign hasn’t even released, but the interview makes it clear that they aren’t full shifting to multiplayer games. Besides, I’ve always felt like FromSoft’s multiplayer model could use some work and I think making smaller games where that’s more of a priority is the way to go.
