There’s a new The PlayStation Blog interview with Elden Ring Director and Writer Hidetaka Miyazaki went over the difficulty of both it and FromSoftware games in general.
There will also be a The Overture of Elden Ring primer out digitally on February 3, 2022.
Elden Ring will release for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 25, 2022.
I feel like our approach to these games, not just Elden Ring, is to design them to encourage the player to overcome adversity.
