Elden Ring fans have a lot to be happy about right now. The first DLC Shadow of the Erdtree finally has an official release date. It is already clear: the expansion will take place true scope monster become.
For the developer From Software, Elden Ring (buy now €45.88 / €53.99) was the biggest success in the company's history. The decades of experience with Soulsborne titles and also the much criticized Dark Souls 2 were largely responsible for this. The president of the studio, Hidetaka Miyazaki, in an interview with IGN betrayed.
The big influence of Dark Souls 2
The 10-year-old game is often treated by die-hard fans like a “black sheep” that's out of line. After all, it was one of the few titles in which Hidetaka Miyazaki did not appear as the main director. His statements about how great the influence of Dark Souls 2 was on the rest of the series and also Elden Ring are all the more surprising.
“Personally, I believe that [Dark Souls 2] “It was a really great project for us,” explains Miyazaki in an interview with IGN. “and I think without [den Titel] “We wouldn't have had many of the connections and ideas that drove the rest of the series forward.” It should be noted that the Japanese developer still worked on the game in a leading role.
Looking back, he sees the change of key players in Dark Souls 2 as great enrichment. “We were able to get a different impulse and different ideas that we might not have had otherwise”
