Shit, I'm probably just slow on my first runs of Souls games. Dark Souls II & III, Bloodborne, and Sekiro were closer to 40 hours from me but still in the 30's. Sekiro was noticeably shorter though.

I usually take around 35 hours myself during the first playthrough of every Souls game with the exception of Demons Souls.

From the start of the new Elden Ring gameplay trailer, it was clear that FromSoftware wanted to convey a sense of scale. From the expansive vistas to even just the existence of a giant goat players need to ride across the map, Elden Ring is bigger than any Soulsborne game before it. In an interview with director Hidetaka Miyazaki, the legendary game developer made clear that this is intentional, and could set the stage for one of the most freeform games yet from the Dark Souls team.
After an agonizing two years of waiting, the long-awaited collaboration between director Hidetaka Miyazaki and author George R.R. Martin has been re-revealed. IGN was able to sit down with Miyazaki for an extensive deep dive into Elden Ring. One of the things we learned is how the sense of scale shown in the trailer wasnt just for cinematic effect, but a core pillar of Elden Rings design.

Throughout our interview, Miyazaki talked about Elden Rings setting, The Lands Between, and the importance of having massive worlds players can freely explore.
The Lands Between is actually a name that was invented by George R.R. Martin himself when he was coming up for the impetus for this world and writing its history and its deep mythos, says Miyazaki. And we hope that as well as taking away the idea of it being the sort of impetus and the starting place for the world, we want people to feel that its really like an invitation to this mysterious new land.

FromSoft games often feature complex, almost labyrinthine designs where, as players progress, seemingly distinct map locations connect with one another through shortcuts and new paths. This wasnt always the case though Demons Souls, for example, features five unique worlds. Each world has three unique stages that connect to each other seamlessly, but the worlds themselves dont intersect.

This changed in Dark Souls and Bloodborne where the entire map essentially functioned as a whole, save for a handful of different zones and dimensions. Elden Ring seems to take both of these concepts and expand them to a scale unseen in past FromSoft games.

The Lands Between is made up of six major areas, each of which is the domain of a major demigod character. Miyazaki says that it will be apparent there is an order to how players can tackle these six areas, but you dont have to follow it.

We wanted to give a free level of progression and exploration through the Lands Between, so theres a lot of different ways. You wont be able to access everything from the start, but there are a lot of different ways you can approach each area. And theres a lot of freedom as to which order you tackle different areas as well.

Miyazaki broke it down further, explaining that each of the six areas will house its own mainline dungeon map, which seamlessly connects to the Lands Between. Theres even a hub not unlike Dark Souls' Firelink Shrine which players can branch out from that can be accessed a little later in the game.

The more Miyazaki explains the world of Elden Ring, the bigger it feels. Beyond the main dungeons of the six domains, there are also a wide variety of catacombs and castles and fortresses which are interspersed throughout the map.

While there are certainly overworlds that come to mind when hearing Miyazaki explain the map layout of Elden Ring (*cough* Breath of the Wild *cough*) this expansive design signals particularly exciting possibilities.

As I said previously, a Dark Souls game can sometimes feel like a labyrinth, and this does have drawbacks. There are some areas that feel like they exist only to bridge together disparate areas, and there are times the map design can feel unnatural and artificial as a result.

But separating the world into six major domains that function as their own dungeons, while also creating a larger, explorable world with off-the-beaten-path mini-dungeons, Elden Ring could feel like a truly open-world that still keeps the level of map craftsmanship FromSoftware is known for.

- six major areas that function as distinct dungeons, ruled by demigod characters (you don't have to follow an order)
- hub confirmed
- catacombs, castles, fortresses, mini dungeons etc.
- Elden Ring will arrive on its release date
- character creator
- multiple endings
- much higher degree of freedom than before
- optional bosses
- Battle arts from DS3 return but are not fixed to a weapon (~100 techniques)
- Spirits can be collected and equipped apparently (summons)
- different types of spirits (use them for assaults, as decoy, for defense etc)
- Spirits can be improved apparently
- There are also rather useless spirits with other traits
- multiplayer support during exploration on the open fields (but you are not able to ride your horses in multiplayer apparently)
- ER is more "manageable" due to the many different options the player has but there are still many tough enemies
- fall damage is low to keep explorers motivated
- there is a world map
- the actual dungeons do not have a map
- crafting system with materials
- Miyazaki guesses playtime is maybe at 30 hours "without too many side trips"
-asynchrous multiplayer elements return; you can apparently set up groups (with friends for example) and give their messages/dead bodies etc. higher priority (keyword system, no limit on group size)
