"we have heard about some players use seamless co op mod to play togethee, and we are not opposed to it. In fact, we may even use the idea in a future installment!" -Miyazaki He basically told us this was going to happen!
I do hope it will be cross-platform. I have too many friends I can't play with because of that, and if they are focusing on Co-op with this game, I would hope they allow us cross-platform
“AT THIS TIME,” meaning some time between then, and now, they did end up planning on it. It wasn’t a definite statement, it was an answer to whether they’re CURRENTLY planning on a 2nd DLC/sequel.
0:33 He definitely *never* said there wasn't more Elden Ring in the works. He said there wasn't a sequel or DLC being produced, but he made it very clear that they did have upcoming plans for the IP. He always chooses his words carefully. So no, he didn't lie.
It's also not an entirely new game, its a spin off using a lot of old assets. Not trying to talk down on it, just thats what it is. It's definitely a side project rather than a full scale development.
oh wait, if dark souls bosses are in elden ring game.... Will fucking white glint or Allmind show up to wreck our shit, Will orphan of Kos return for round two? (Actually please don't do that orphan, stay in the bottomless sea damn you, it was hard enough to first time.)
@CM-hx5dp White Glint wont show up But if he did the Kojima poisoning from his primal armor alone would kill the whole party b4 we can even reach em And dnt get me started on thoose Saline missiles
Miyazaki wasn't lying, he was trying to trick us by saying there was no plan for a direct Elden Ring /sequel/, but we know from the kadokawa/bandai-namco financial reports that they were planning on continuing the franchise in some fashion beyond the shadowtree expansion. You gotta remember Miyazaki seems to really enjoy role-playing a Dark Souls NPC version of himself during interviews.
I'm glad the devs got to make something they want to play. Taking mechanics and bosses from the best souls game and mashing them together into a fun co-op boss rush game
Side note: I just watched an IgN video stated that Fromsoft intends for this be a one time buy game, not free to play, and they do not consider this a live service game. It's supposed to be complete out of the box. And should be the same price as SOTE
@@Oryyyt the world seems to be the same. I doubt based on how the setpieces are laid out that they would even be able to make it procedurally generated, let alone actually do it. I feel it will be a set map with randomly generated field bosses and loot with maybe some small areas or dungeons being procedurally generated.
@zitronensaaft3454 I believe it can be done. Smaller survival games like Valheim have made intricate and detailed procedurally generated worlds. Souldframe is doing randomized dungeons with also very intricate tilesets and ofc Hyperlight Breaker. I could get behind the idea that FromSoft are being more ambitious and bringing that randomizer to Elden Ring's vertical and labyrinth like level design.
I will say, check out the IGN interview with the director, Junya Ishizaki. It gives more insight into game mechanics. One thing to note from that interview is that Ishizaki says that this game happens in an alternate timeline to Elden Ring. The Shattering is the common event between both games, but Nightrain follows a different story after that point
i thought for 30 seconds it was a dlc around the gloam-eyed queen because of the spectres, the sky, and the blue flames, but then i saw the centipede demon and nameless king and immediately knew it was some kind of boss-rush or spin-off.
"Cower in Fear. Of the Night. The hands of the Fell Omen shall brook thee no quarter" And then there's the voice of Margit in the Trailer Well it seems to more sense now
perhaps this dlc will reveal a darker side to margits seeming undying allegiance to the golden order, potentially a connection to the night king with his nights cavalry, which have always felt a little tonally inconsistent anyways.
@@Gioeli76 ye it seems VERY different for fromsoftware and it being its own game is... odd to me. Id rather just see the elden ring we all know and love continue to grow.
I was excited the first time i saw the trailer but after i saw all the reused assets and bosses… and then i heard miyazaki wasnt apart of it😭🙏 im skeptical
From PC Gamer, apparently the blue flames are a Battle Royale style shrinking arena mechanic to push you towards the boss fight at the end of each run. They were quite explicit that it is NOT a battle royale, but it does look a lot like a PvE version of one. And the map is some sort of remixed Limgrave.
Yeah, check out PC Gamer’s video on it, it really clears things up. It does sound like a fun game, but it does NOT sound like an Elden Ring sequel. I very much doubt its story is going to be canon, and either way it won’t be focused on exploration at all.
oh god i hope its not like short games like that, i hope its a long progression type game just like with the other souls games, with bosses n stuff, not matches,.
For anyone wondering, all stated by the director himself this game is in an alternate timeline. Set after the shattering. Game world is procedurally generated and it’s basically a roguelike. The hardcap for game time is 40 minutes until you fight the Night Lord and end the run. No PVP, you cannot be invaded. You can also play solo as well. You can rez players by literally punching them, 8 named preset characters to choose from which you can customize to your liking with what you find in the game world.
I still think there are some lore implications for the base game. Like why the fuck even link it to Elden ring? I will say this is somewhat cannon for now.
Procedurally generated you say? Then the loreheads will have to analyze every single set-piece in order to discover new lore to feed us... Truly Miyazaki is a god rich in both generosity and cruelty.
Usually, when we play from software games, we play as nobodies. So it's very interesting to see what it would be like to play as a known hero with special powers. I'm a hundred percent down for this! Granted, I like all kinds of action RPGs, not just souls likes, so I don't care if it's not a hard-core souls like.
Night Lord - Probably the Lord of Night awaited by the Nox in the Eternal Cities. Plus, a legacy dungeon with Nox statues in the clip where the player character wall hops. Centipede Demon, Namless King (!) and... DS3 Firekeeper? ER and DS shared universe theory proven correct? Morgott again. ... Holy shit.
@@OrderofgoldThe game is set in the elden ring universe that has been confirmed by fromsoft , and the characters are not the tarnished but the seekers of redemption, each character is from from a different universe as far as I see it cause the lady in the trailer says "thrown together by power beyond our control" . The timeline part makes it very hard to understand when is this game set in. But man DS and Elden together is gonna be so freaking wild.
I'm sure it won't. It reminds me of when they announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Don't expect it to impact the lore very much, just expect it to be insanely fun to play.
Im sure there will and youll basically be punished for being solo, not directly but ive tried many of these co op games solo and its always so lack luster compared to the experience you get having friends. I really hope its not like the "co op" sections of the dark souls DLCs because those were horrific solo
It is technically a stand alone title, a roguelike / not rpg and without constant progression. Miyazaki has also said that being director for titles is not his job, that more people at fromsoft gets to try it. So this is probably someone trying out a roguelike game but using the elden ring assets.
I swear this is why they did it because people just see Elden Ring and think it’s a sequel. It’s not a sequel. It’s a spin off because of the name is so popular.
I think this is the closest we can get to a boss rush mode. I am super excited that they are mixing in most of their IPs in there. Fingers crossed for armored core reference.
Random subscriber here. Dude I thought of commenting soon after when considering this game because you always have the best information about FromSoft, watching now...
PC Gamer put out a video explaining the game. It's a rogue-like dungeon crawler. 6 preset characters, 3 player co-op, run and level up and fight a boss at the end that you pick. They described it as feeling more like a mod or game mode than full game. I'm here for it tbh
I have ALWAYS been a proponent of the shared universe theory. Based on the presence of a singular statue of Caitha (aka Velka) located in the Church of Vows there was already a seed planted in the base game of Dark Souls/Elden Ring overlap.
I think this just proves that fromsoft cares about their lore far less than the community thinks they do, not saying they can't have a spin off for fun that has zero implications in the actual worlds. But I feel like this just shows that they take it far less seriously than hardcore lore fans act like they do
that's a good way to put it, this feels like the studio screwing around with some new gameplay concepts and throwing the lore in there to have some fun
Fromsoft games barely even have lore. Just some neat plot points filled with a bunch of vague and nonsensical bullshit, wait until the fans make up some cool fan theories, then steal them.
At 3:03 that Spider is Literally from Dark Souls 2, so probably The Dukes Dear Freyja is in this game too, But seeing Centipede Demon and Nameless King gives me Hope of seeing Sekiro and Bloodborne Bosses and enemies in the game
Seems like a good way to test our reaction to new mechanics while Miyazaki works on the next main title and a nice nod to the last decade of awesome games they gave us. As long as they don't make us fight Balteus on foot i'm fine with that
Not sure what to think of it beyond it looking like a coop bossrush or roguelite type of game with a lot of fan service thrown in so i wouldnt get too caried away on lore implications at this point. I wasnt expecting another full souls like or AC entry for another year or two so im definitely suprised and excited to see what this is like even if its just something they put out to keep publishers happy between releases.
Welcome to the Souls Multiverse of Madness. Looks super interesting and very unique from the approach. Will definitely play it. Nice video as always, cheers from Germany
I'm cautiously optimistic. Tbh I'm hoping that instead of the game having its own lore and mashing Dark souls, elden ring, bloodborne, etc lore, it expands the lore on the other games and keeps them separate instead. For instance that cerberus boss may come from the elden ring universe, and any item's or lore we get about from that boss we analyze in the context of the elden ring universe alone if that makes sense
Yeah I hope they use the idea of some hypothetical multiversal mashup to expand on aspects of the settings we didn’t get to see. I really hope it just doesn’t devolve into fanfic levels of writing.
@@Unleasheddragon i mean it kinda has already. You dont just put nameless king, centipede demon, and the ds3 firekeeper in elden ring without it feeling fanfic-ey. But its fine by me tbh, souls games have never been about the "narrative" so much as the lore. Just because Morgott is telling me to save Oolacile from 17 inches of Shura (the eighteenth inch was lost in a battle against G5 Iguazu), doesn't mean that in another moment, there cant be some random bit of scenery that manages to convey elements of an obscure celtic myth that--when framed in the context of ER's base game lore--acts as a commentary on toxic family dynamics and nature vs nurture as a concept
I'm honestly really excited for a more focused, bite-sized gameplay experience. It's a pretty smart and efficient way to recycle assets, too, which they've always done anyway.
Fixed Characters Roguelike battleroyale with circle Fast paced for quicker fights like it's fine, a souls game that's roguelike is fine. but they shouldn't have called it Elden Ring. they could've just made another game, make it small. but they had to attach "Elden Ring" in it lol
You weirdos need to stop crying about the name lmao it does nothing, buy it or don't and stfu instead of reaching so hard for something to complain about, actually pathetic.
@@guyalOfSfere-v1p I mean Elden ring used a lot of Dark Souls assets and this trailer showed us Centipede Demon, nameless king, Ds2 Spider and in a seperate image we see even Dukes Dear Freija. So there just as much a reason to call the game Dark souls Nightfall by that logic.
In the first shot of the trailer and like 40 seconds in you can see the giants from caelid shrouded and walking around. Lyndell is under construction and the tarnished table is there and with the architecture of the castles makes me think it’s a prequel during the time that Godfrey conquered the lands between and erased gloam eyed queen from history. The red area screams caelid pre shattering to me, and lastly I think Godwyn may be the nameless king… it looks like dragons peak and farum azula are related as some dragon homeworld lost outside of time
@@Cas-ed9ob I’m a little shocked to hear it, let them cook, has FromSoft not earned the benefit of the doubt yet? Every evolution and experiment of the formula has been a W.
The Nightlord could be the Gloam eyed Queen, and the "night" could be some type of spell she is using, the blue fire looks like the same as the Putrescent Knight's fire and in the files he is called the Gloam Eyed Queen Knight. This one is a huge stretch but the foggy giants resemble the titans bodies that litter the ground in Caelid and The Mountain Tops of The Giants, the smoke looks like deathblight and the goat guy at the end could be tied to Godwyn.
I get this feeling that this wasn't intended as an Elden Ring thing and that was pushed by producers, but idk. Looks good, most likely going to play it
I immediately think of the bloodborne dlc where it's kind of like an alternate dimension/dreamscape where things kind of make sense but then really don't make sense as far as how they fit together physically in the world, but maybe it's just the fact that all of the assets are used kinda like they're areas that exist in the Lands Between, but aren't quite how we remember them. Anyway.. super excited to see what the From team is cooking up for us
I'm assuming this takes place before og Elden Ring as non of the progressed events seem to have taken place. Meaning it's same to assume it's a prequel most likely taking place back when more tarnished were around.
@GwynnieThePoo actually there are other questions 1)can we change weapons armor and spells? or will they be tied to characters? 2)how big will be this game. i think it don't be very big since they had absolutely no time 3)how does this relate to dark souls 3?
@@Artem-eu3uv only thing I can say is about your 2nd question. From what I’ve read it’s like a 3 day cycle of new stuff . So after the 3 day cycle things get changed and new bosses are introduced and then repeat. So you have 3 days to become the lord of night and then it resets. Could be different but that’s the info I got out of it.
I kinda hope the hero/class setup is like a skill tree, in which you level up and pick your path to specific upgrades, not just stats wise. Same with the weapons and armour, each class can upgrade their weapons, add to them, or even just unlock new ones
Looks so awesome, remnant 2 was great, now they add in the entire dark souls universe. This will be a blast, basically a randomized boss rush with more lore
I got more information‼️ the game will be a seamless co-op with every from software bosses in the randomizer which means it's a randomized boss rush mode game. Man I can't wait because at this point we can have Artorias, Manus, Ornstein and Smough, Lord Ishin, Bloody Maria, Gehrman, every from software ancient dragon 🐉👀💧 this is gonna be fire because the lore itself is about three tarnished was found a multi dimensional door called Nightreign and the door of a certain power that can open in every from software game in some sort of randomizer. It’s a luxury of sandbox✨🥹🥹🥹 The multi-verse exist in Limgrave
That door caught my attention cause it looks like a mix of both the entrance to the base of the Erdtree AND the entrance to the Throne of Want from DS2. And something about the way the dark fog shoots out from it felt reminiscent of the Abyss.
I’m going to be honest, at first I was so excited to see the Nameless King, but thinking about it now, I’m a little worried. I hope this doesn’t mean that FromSoftware is using nostalgia just to get a cheap emotional reaction from us and that they’re starting to run out of ideas. Every big company eventually starts to hit a creativity wall. Hopefully, they keep being creative and keep taking risks like they’ve always done.
Don't worry, this is pretty much just a side quest for them and maybe testing grounds for new mechanics in their upcoming games. Like the parkour and gliding stuff. Miyazaki said that they are working on several new projects, they are definitely not running out of ideas. They expanded the team a lot lately so they can develop these little spinoff games while others work on the big projects.
I mean this is 100% a risky move, because it’s so different. I applaud them for going in a different direction and I believe it has the connected world implications we’ve been talking about for years.
@@AdaltheRighteous I don't think it's that risky because this game seems to be a remix of their previous content mostly. The money and time investment is likely very minimal compared to their mainline games.
I am so excited man. From what I've seen about it being randomized and everything I feel like it'll be so much fun. I'm the only one of my friends who plays Souls games so hopefully it's still fun as a solo player
I really hope that base elden ring gets a small expansion with some of these weapons and armors because they look really cool. I understand if they don't though.
If you look up the IGN interview with the director of this game, not Miyazaki, he says this game is a spinoff that is a alternative universe to eldenring and does not share the same world or story. TI am kinda concerned after reading that article what this game is going to be but ill remain cautiously optimistic
Storywise i think this game takes place after the age of the stars ending, Ranni said in that ending that it was time for an eternal night. This is that night. Also at the end of the trailer they said u claim the “life of the nightlord” that sounds to me as the player character from elden ring who became Rannis elden lord in the age of the stars ending. Also at no point in the trailer did we actually see the erdtree, so to me that means that the erdtree and the elden ring itself are gone from the lands between, another clue that this is indeed the age of the stars/age of night.
Wild guess. The spinoffs are based in different endings. "Nightreign" is after the Age of Stars, and without a God (the greater will) the Lands Between are being converged by the lands they were "between". Nightlord will be "Tarnished Consort of the Stars"
Probably has some lore attached to the nox and them trying to bring the night/their lord. We know they were punished and buried by marika (the areas we find in the underground zones).
I want to say too, the bosses of Fromsoft game have never been designed for CO-OP. So seeing the attacks and mechanics of the Cerberus type creature in the desert and how its specifically designed for CO-OP makes me very happy. Looks badass
That big Sand Area, looks more like GAEL´s arena, I can´t believe that the theory of Elden Ring´s World being the World that we helped to paint in Dark Souls 3 could be real.
vaati’s brain is slowly melting out of his ears scrambling to figure out the lore implications rn
Mine too! Lol
its a parallel universe. he'll be fine
It's just a spin off no lore implications
Turns out the nameless king didn't join the dragons intentionally, he was just very directionally challenged and decided to sit with them awhile... Now she's wandered into the lands between
@@Evan-pd8ey Not one parallel universe, but multiple of them. Moons probably symbolise other worlds, so we're probably after the end of Ranni.

I swear this is why they did it because people just see Elden Ring and think it’s a sequel. It’s not a sequel. It’s a spin off because of the name is so popular.
People don’t know how to read
I think this is the closest we can get to a boss rush mode. I am super excited that they are mixing in most of their IPs in there. Fingers crossed for armored core reference.
Best Thursday of my life
Dandadan to ?
Random subscriber here. Dude I thought of commenting soon after when considering this game because you always have the best information about FromSoft, watching now...
So theres elements from dark souls, 3, bloodborne and sekiro. I'm here for it. But sceptical.
and ds1
@findot777prove it. I want Slow Souls back. Prove to me that it is back.
they're missing the suffering element that those 3 games have, they're going to have you gain something for losing, not gud as of rn
@@josephbulkin9222 poison swamps are supposably being added 👍
@josephbulkin9222 1:22 that's a centipede demon from ds1 :)
After all the Fort Night messages left around the world of Elden ring, From soft took that to heart, and made its own version of it
I'll be honest, seing the Nameless King there gave me Metal Gear Survive vibes. Hope to be proven wrong.
Although the model has probably been completely redone, the Firekeeper looks much better than her DS3 version.
PC Gamer put out a video explaining the game. It's a rogue-like dungeon crawler. 6 preset characters, 3 player co-op, run and level up and fight a boss at the end that you pick. They described it as feeling more like a mod or game mode than full game. I'm here for it tbh
Elden Ring became Fort Night
More like Dark and Darker...Souls
EldenNight
Fort
Night.
Fort Haight*

6:28, it's possible to have Sekiro Cross over it's the land of Reeds where the samurai comes from.
I have ALWAYS been a proponent of the shared universe theory. Based on the presence of a singular statue of Caitha (aka Velka) located in the Church of Vows there was already a seed planted in the base game of Dark Souls/Elden Ring overlap.
Its a non-canon co-op spin-off there are no canon DS/ER overlaps.
I think this just proves that fromsoft cares about their lore far less than the community thinks they do, not saying they can't have a spin off for fun that has zero implications in the actual worlds. But I feel like this just shows that they take it far less seriously than hardcore lore fans act like they do
Well yeah this is just a boss rush with elden ring thrown in the title
that's a good way to put it, this feels like the studio screwing around with some new gameplay concepts and throwing the lore in there to have some fun
Fromsoft games barely even have lore. Just some neat plot points filled with a bunch of vague and nonsensical bullshit, wait until the fans make up some cool fan theories, then steal them.
No it doesnt?
Well it would have made sense if the games branched off the six elden ring endings but this...
At 3:03 that Spider is Literally from Dark Souls 2, so probably The Dukes Dear Freyja is in this game too, But seeing Centipede Demon and Nameless King gives me Hope of seeing Sekiro and Bloodborne Bosses and enemies in the game
We have seen a seperate image of dukes dear Freija in what kinda looks like the Mist area next to leyndell so yeah you were on the money.
A great way to reuse favorite bosses as well as any unused assets IMO.
Bro! You just made my whole week!
Never clicked a notification so fast
It's a rogue like with tiered loot with different rarities and abilities and enemies changing each run, with different bosses appearing at each Night
Seems like a good way to test our reaction to new mechanics while Miyazaki works on the next main title and a nice nod to the last decade of awesome games they gave us. As long as they don't make us fight Balteus on foot i'm fine with that
Drones over NJ, Jay Z allergations, Namless King in an Elden Ring game trailer out of no where.. this month so far has been mental 😂
Those "drones" weren't manmade. The military got spooked for a reason, even if they refuse to say it.
Don’t forget hawk tuah coin. I won’t be able to afford this cause I put all my money into that
Not sure what to think of it beyond it looking like a coop bossrush or roguelite type of game with a lot of fan service thrown in so i wouldnt get too caried away on lore implications at this point. I wasnt expecting another full souls like or AC entry for another year or two so im definitely suprised and excited to see what this is like even if its just something they put out to keep publishers happy between releases.
Welcome to the Souls Multiverse of Madness. Looks super interesting and very unique from the approach. Will definitely play it. Nice video as always, cheers from Germany
I'm cautiously optimistic. Tbh I'm hoping that instead of the game having its own lore and mashing Dark souls, elden ring, bloodborne, etc lore, it expands the lore on the other games and keeps them separate instead. For instance that cerberus boss may come from the elden ring universe, and any item's or lore we get about from that boss we analyze in the context of the elden ring universe alone if that makes sense
Yeah I hope they use the idea of some hypothetical multiversal mashup to expand on aspects of the settings we didn’t get to see. I really hope it just doesn’t devolve into fanfic levels of writing.
@@Unleasheddragon i mean it kinda has already. You dont just put nameless king, centipede demon, and the ds3 firekeeper in elden ring without it feeling fanfic-ey. But its fine by me tbh, souls games have never been about the "narrative" so much as the lore.
Just because Morgott is telling me to save Oolacile from 17 inches of Shura (the eighteenth inch was lost in a battle against G5 Iguazu), doesn't mean that in another moment, there cant be some random bit of scenery that manages to convey elements of an obscure celtic myth that--when framed in the context of ER's base game lore--acts as a commentary on toxic family dynamics and nature vs nurture as a concept
I'm honestly really excited for a more focused, bite-sized gameplay experience. It's a pretty smart and efficient way to recycle assets, too, which they've always done anyway.
Fixed Characters
Roguelike battleroyale with circle
Fast paced for quicker fights
like it's fine, a souls game that's roguelike is fine.
but they shouldn't have called it Elden Ring. they could've just made another game, make it small. but they had to attach "Elden Ring" in it lol
Cos it's literally built upon ER. Everything u see is built on the core of ER.
The fact that they're using the Elden Ring assets is why it's coming out in 2025 and not 2027.
You weirdos need to stop crying about the name lmao it does nothing, buy it or don't and stfu instead of reaching so hard for something to complain about, actually pathetic.
@@yeahnahmate7 you're the one crying lol
@@guyalOfSfere-v1p I mean Elden ring used a lot of Dark Souls assets and this trailer showed us Centipede Demon, nameless king, Ds2 Spider and in a seperate image we see even Dukes Dear Freija.
So there just as much a reason to call the game Dark souls Nightfall by that logic.
Damn dude, that is a FAST video turnaround time! 😳
Bro didnt even wait for the game awards to end 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏bros on the grind
So excited to try out all the new power ups, there's even a hawk too!
I dunno this one looks a bit unpolished compared to their previous works at least from what the trailer is showing.
In the first shot of the trailer and like 40 seconds in you can see the giants from caelid shrouded and walking around. Lyndell is under construction and the tarnished table is there and with the architecture of the castles makes me think it’s a prequel during the time that Godfrey conquered the lands between and erased gloam eyed queen from history. The red area screams caelid pre shattering to me, and lastly I think Godwyn may be the nameless king… it looks like dragons peak and farum azula are related as some dragon homeworld lost outside of time
People calling this a soulless cash grab is nuts. This shit looks crazy fun
@@Cas-ed9ob I’m a little shocked to hear it, let them cook, has FromSoft not earned the benefit of the doubt yet? Every evolution and experiment of the formula has been a W.
@JustinZode 100% agree. Fromsoft has never let us down and only delivered hit after hit.
I love how they automatically assume it will have “BatTlE pAsSes” or micro transactions for the soul reason it’s co-op…clowns dude
it does, those malders just want nothing for the table
It's looking like a monster hunter type of coop, far from being predatory and I'm all for it
The Nightlord could be the Gloam eyed Queen, and the "night" could be some type of spell she is using, the blue fire looks like the same as the Putrescent Knight's fire and in the files he is called the Gloam Eyed Queen Knight. This one is a huge stretch but the foggy giants resemble the titans bodies that litter the ground in Caelid and The Mountain Tops of The Giants, the smoke looks like deathblight and the goat guy at the end could be tied to Godwyn.
I get this feeling that this wasn't intended as an Elden Ring thing and that was pushed by producers, but idk. Looks good, most likely going to play it
Hopefully them having set classes in this new game will keep people playing the first Elden ring for custom classes and invasions
The game awards basically showed the game of the year before it was even released
We getting that second GOTY no matter what after what happened this year 🗣️🔥
As soon as i saw Nameless, i immediately got ptsd flashbacks from his boss fight. And he's back to skill check us again.
Doing combos with the homies is gonna be sick we juggling the mobs now with this one
This feels like they told the B-team to take all their existing gameplay and assets and go crazy/experiment with them and I'm all here for it.
3:39 he is azir but tarnished one
I immediately think of the bloodborne dlc where it's kind of like an alternate dimension/dreamscape where things kind of make sense but then really don't make sense as far as how they fit together physically in the world, but maybe it's just the fact that all of the assets are used kinda like they're areas that exist in the Lands Between, but aren't quite how we remember them. Anyway.. super excited to see what the From team is cooking up for us
Reminds me of an open world chalice dungeon.
I'm assuming this takes place before og Elden Ring as non of the progressed events seem to have taken place. Meaning it's same to assume it's a prequel most likely taking place back when more tarnished were around.
2:53 wait, is that a Gaol? bottom-left. Also What is that cave emtting purple light?
4:09, Rick, soldier of god, 1v3ing these people
I’m definitely going to miss the straight up only One Way to go RPG style they use to make..
'But take a look at birdman in the back' that line just cracked me up 😂
I don't know how much this game is based on network interaction. If I can play without Internet and the PVE will be rich, then good
It said “single player support” . So I imagine you’ll have the option to just use NPC’s instead of online friends .
@GwynnieThePoo Well, that's good, because I don't have friends🤣😅😭
@GwynnieThePoo actually there are other questions 1)can we change weapons armor and spells? or will they be tied to characters? 2)how big will be this game. i think it don't be very big since they had absolutely no time 3)how does this relate to dark souls 3?
@@Artem-eu3uv only thing I can say is about your 2nd question. From what I’ve read it’s like a 3 day cycle of new stuff . So after the 3 day cycle things get changed and new bosses are introduced and then repeat. So you have 3 days to become the lord of night and then it resets. Could be different but that’s the info I got out of it.
@GwynnieThePoo thanks, so far it all looks interesting.
I kinda hope the hero/class setup is like a skill tree, in which you level up and pick your path to specific upgrades, not just stats wise. Same with the weapons and armour, each class can upgrade their weapons, add to them, or even just unlock new ones
Not impressed to be honest, looks more like to me that Bamco forced From to push something out.
Looks so awesome, remnant 2 was great, now they add in the entire dark souls universe. This will be a blast, basically a randomized boss rush with more lore
Maybe the night has something to do with the gloom-eyed queen? I find it weird that they didn’t show Melina and opted to use Fire keeper instead
Oh my god not again that gloom eyed queen. Can people just accept that this is a Velka situation where we will never know anything about the character
@ Let us believe
“Take a look at bird man in the back. He is just straight up a humanoid hawk.” 😂
I got the information about this game and the information said there is not PVP at all. It’s only focused on PVE gameplay.
Really hope they add pvp in this, invasions would probably look interesting in it
@Bass858 it's a survival game as well as not gear or levels transfer between runs. It's literally just 30 min boss rushes.
I got more information‼️ the game will be a seamless co-op with every from software bosses in the randomizer which means it's a randomized boss rush mode game. Man I can't wait because at this point we can have Artorias, Manus, Ornstein and Smough, Lord Ishin, Bloody Maria, Gehrman, every from software ancient dragon 🐉👀💧 this is gonna be fire because the lore itself is about three tarnished was found a multi dimensional door called Nightreign and the door of a certain power that can open in every from software game in some sort of randomizer. It’s a luxury of sandbox✨🥹🥹🥹 The multi-verse exist in Limgrave
Dude dead ass initially for like the first 30 sec I thought "damn what's this game? cause it looks a lot like elden ring"
I hope to God that this isn’t a half-assed Elden Ring cash grab.
That door caught my attention cause it looks like a mix of both the entrance to the base of the Erdtree AND the entrance to the Throne of Want from DS2. And something about the way the dark fog shoots out from it felt reminiscent of the Abyss.
I’m going to be honest, at first I was so excited to see the Nameless King, but thinking about it now, I’m a little worried. I hope this doesn’t mean that FromSoftware is using nostalgia just to get a cheap emotional reaction from us and that they’re starting to run out of ideas. Every big company eventually starts to hit a creativity wall. Hopefully, they keep being creative and keep taking risks like they’ve always done.
Don't worry, this is pretty much just a side quest for them and maybe testing grounds for new mechanics in their upcoming games. Like the parkour and gliding stuff.
Miyazaki said that they are working on several new projects, they are definitely not running out of ideas. They expanded the team a lot lately so they can develop these little spinoff games while others work on the big projects.
I mean this is 100% a risky move, because it’s so different. I applaud them for going in a different direction and I believe it has the connected world implications we’ve been talking about for years.
@@AdaltheRighteous I don't think it's that risky because this game seems to be a remix of their previous content mostly. The money and time investment is likely very minimal compared to their mainline games.
I am so excited man. From what I've seen about it being randomized and everything I feel like it'll be so much fun. I'm the only one of my friends who plays Souls games so hopefully it's still fun as a solo player
I will have to wait and see more info on the game to be too excited
I am scared and excited...
Go read the IGN article. Prepare for microtransactions.
@rclaws3230 please no....
@@rclaws3230 The IGN article says there arent microtransactions
I really hope that base elden ring gets a small expansion with some of these weapons and armors because they look really cool. I understand if they don't though.
Thats a dark souls 2 spider
Thanks for the video. Typical FROM form. I saw the trailer and I couldn't keep up. The slowdown helps us appreciate the changes.
Honestly, I want more elden ring lore. Not a souls multiverse. I hope its amazing tho
I was waiting for you to post about this Elden Ring FTW
It has no PVP so lamee
ngl, the gate at the end of the trailer looks like the door to the throne of want in Dark souls 2
Looks like the most crazy version of the chalice dungeons from bloodborne
yepp bingo this is the one
Chalice dungeons are garbo overrated
Great breakdown. You're at the top of your game, Zio
If you look up the IGN interview with the director of this game, not Miyazaki, he says this game is a spinoff that is a alternative universe to eldenring and does not share the same world or story. TI am kinda concerned after reading that article what this game is going to be but ill remain cautiously optimistic
Instead of being optimistic you should emotionally prepare for microtransactions.
@@rclaws3230 i dont think I can recover from a reality that twisted.
Storywise i think this game takes place after the age of the stars ending, Ranni said in that ending that it was time for an eternal night. This is that night. Also at the end of the trailer they said u claim the “life of the nightlord” that sounds to me as the player character from elden ring who became Rannis elden lord in the age of the stars ending. Also at no point in the trailer did we actually see the erdtree, so to me that means that the erdtree and the elden ring itself are gone from the lands between, another clue that this is indeed the age of the stars/age of night.
Wild guess.
The spinoffs are based in different endings. "Nightreign" is after the Age of Stars, and without a God (the greater will) the Lands Between are being converged by the lands they were "between".
Nightlord will be "Tarnished Consort of the Stars"
Its set in the past as confirmed by game director
@@jamesn3122 source?
Probably has some lore attached to the nox and them trying to bring the night/their lord. We know they were punished and buried by marika (the areas we find in the underground zones).
@jprec5174 I would 100% agree considering where we get the Finger Slayer blade for Ranni.
I'm literally shaking with excitement that they might of added dark souls bosses to elden ring
I want to say too, the bosses of Fromsoft game have never been designed for CO-OP. So seeing the attacks and mechanics of the Cerberus type creature in the desert and how its specifically designed for CO-OP makes me very happy. Looks badass
One dog for each hero, but when you attempt to solo it you just get a three dog gank lol.
Nameless just had the greatest comeback ever
We're really getting the FCU (Fromsoft Cinematic Universe) with this one 💀💀
My birthday is next week and this is the best gift I could have asked for
I fell like it might be a sequel because sounds like what the lands between should become with ranni's end. idk but I'm so damn happy rn
It might be in a canon story sort of way but it's certainly not Elden Ring 2
I feel like it must be a prequel, like, explaining why the Nox have angered the Greater Will and stuff.
That big Sand Area, looks more like GAEL´s arena, I can´t believe that the theory of Elden Ring´s World being the World that we helped to paint in Dark Souls 3 could be real.
FROMSOFT NEVER MISSES🗣️🔥🔥
They are Real Gamers.
Sure. Keep telling yourself that. I hated Bloodborne and every game that came after(besides Elden Ring).
@josephbulkin9222 So everyone has to have YOUR opinion on gaming? Got it
@@josephbulkin9222sounds like a major skill issue, Bloodborne is easy :3
