The most recent title, Elden Ring, is an action role-playing game featuring the collaboration of FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice and Fire series author George R. R. Martin and released on platforms in 2022.
kinda hope this isn't as punishing as the souls games. Like sure, keep ultra punishing game modes in for people who want it, but if you're gonna get someone like GRRM writing for you don't lock that writing away behind a major skill wall.
The teaser is super underwhelming and I’m not in love with the design (that big guy on fire looks more soul caliber than dark souls) but boy am I excited for Miyazaki to go back to an RPG. Show us gameplay!
Sekiro is super light on the RPG elements and more of a straight up action game. There’s really not that much variety in ways to play compared to Dark Souls/Bloodborne.
I'm always happy for another Souls-type game but I think GRRM's ideas have a lot more to offer that this will be typically story driven.
