A few details have been announced about Elden Ring, which will be released in January 2022. The details discussed provide information about the two systems that will be added to the game and the estimated duration of the game. The game that left its mark on Summer Game Fest 2021 is expected to be souls-like.
Two Systems are Coming to Add Variety to the Game
From Software Software Director Hidetaka Miyazaki interviewed Famitsu. In the interview, he shared a lot of information about Elden Ring, including estimated game time. During the meeting, information on various systems was also discussed. In general, it was talked about the production of “Spirits” and “Crafting” system, where players can access helping spirits.
During the interview, it was discussed that Elden Ring will be inspired by Dark Souls and will be exclusive to the production. The game includes a completely new system “Spirit”. Some souls can be customized by players, and they can be borrowed and transferred during battle. Not all souls’ abilities are purely combat-oriented. Some spirits can help players in different ways. In addition, players will be able to increase the properties of their souls, information about how this will happen during the interview was not shared.
Weather and Time Change in Real Time in Elden Ring
Another system that will be offered to the players is ‘Crafting’. You will be able to craft items instantly in Elden Ring. As in every Craft-based game, you need to collect resources to craft certain items. In addition, the weather and time in the game will change in real time. Such elements will affect the strategy they set up against you while fighting the enemies.
Finally, Miyazaki was asked how long the expected playtime for Elden Ring is. Miyazaki stated that it may take about thirty hours to complete the game. However, he added that this time may vary depending on the player’s playing. Elden Ring is regarded as the biggest FromSoftware production to ever be released. Elden Ring will be available on January 21, 2022 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.
