Elder Ring is an upcoming activity parlor game created by FromSoftware as well as released by Banzai NAMC Home Entertainment. The game is a collaborative effort between game director Hideaway Miyazaki and also fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin, and is arranged to be launched for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and also Xbox Series X/S on February 25, 2022.
At the beginning of the week I asked you what things about Elder Ring you absolutely want to know. In my preview to the action role play I have already received some points. However, so that you can find compact all the answers in one place, here is a bonus article that delivers the answers. For the sake of overview, I have divided your questions into several categories. Well then, let s go!
directly to the individual categories:
Open World New Gameplay Features The difficulty level Story and Lore Fighting system Multiplayer graphics and technology General questions
Open World
comparable games
Link82 asks: Is the Open World rather as with Breath of the Wild to discover yourself or rather Ubisoft formula as with Ghost of Sushi, Assassin s Creed or Horizon Zero Dawn?
Thanks to many interesting places you really want to visit, it remembers Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In my preview, I m closer to this point. The Ubisoft formula came to me only with a camp in the sense, in which I switched off patrols to get to a treasure. In addition, markers in the world are pretty discreetly represented by light columns. Elder Ring does not feel like an Assassin s Creed.
Side quests
Helga123 asks: Are there any side quests? If yes like varied are the built?
Unfortunately, no secondary tasks were playable in the network test. But there will be you in the well-known style of souls games, that s already known. It is also known that NPC-bound quest rows affect the end. As the final looks and how cryptic designs the whole thing, we have to wait.
Music
Bibabutzemann asks: Is the Open World equipped with music or only certain areas? If so, this is more epochal or a quiet accumulation?
Both. If you run through the game world, you hear softly, soothing string music that reminded me directly at Skyrim. Starts a normal fight, there are bauble and brass. With boss fights, the soundtrack turns full as usual, and it becomes epic.
Opponent ResPawns
SUV asks: How does it work with the ResPawns? In previously, opponents had a certain spawn point and after the rest they were back. But now there are these caravans, who obviously pull through the game world. Or there are different ones Opponent depending on the daytime. How exactly does this work?
Standard opponents spawn after resting on the beacon, while (mini) bosses, which are also increasingly occurring in the Open World, forever. Mobile opponents like the caravan spawn also new.
Design and atmosphere
Psyche asks: Sets the world of design and atmosphere its own accents or is it simple in the way Dark Souls in Open World ?
Elder Ring is Quasi Dark Souls 4 with a spacious, but by no means huge Open World, as we know it from a Witcher 3. Decisive for the atmosphere will still be, how and whether the influences of G.R.R. Martin s last end are noticeable. To judge that, we have to wait for the release.
Winter Hours asks: How does the Open World affect the level design of Frost? Their games have just awarded themselves through the design, in which every step is dangerous and when I hear Open World sounds Something like You can just miss the demanding places.
The typically winding level design is occurred in the legacy dungeons, but I could only play a small part. In the Open World you have no permanent danger, but can certainly meet very tough opponents like dragons that you can also miss depending on the discoverer.
exploration
Salvatore asks: How much does the world invite you to explore? Can I really go anywhere (in the context of the test of course)?
The exploration was the great strength of Elder Ring in the network test. All I have seen, I was able to explore. Of course within the staked limits of the stress test. And equal to a Zelda: Breath of the Wild I wanted to visit all Points of Interest anytime and was rewarded with useful items such as armor and magic.
New gameplay features
Summons
Nocturne asks: How strong do the incantations affect the boss fights? Are they too strong or rather weak?
They are a great help, especially against bosses and larger opponents. I was able to defeat the toughest boss in the network test before a few deaths by taking a spirit with abundant life the attention and I could act in peace magic. Currently, the feature seems too powerful, but could therefore be the means of choice for beginners.
Daily and night exchange
Norderstedt asks: Hello Dennis, how does the day of the day and night change? If the weather may influence — for example, for thunderstorms fail the spells outdoors?
Spells fail in thunderstorms. But what failed is the eyesight of the enemies at night. So it sneaks easier in the dark, or you will not be seen so fast. In thunderstorms, flashes also hit the ground, but never met me. At night, a very strong opponent has been published in one place, which has not shown himself during the day.
Riding
Link82 asks: Can you ride on the right horses yourself or only on this imagination, which was visible in the trailers or the Gameplay-Preview?
According to rumors, we can only ride the so-called spectral boss or, as the community it calls it, Yakut ride. In the network test, there is also a clear indication that only Yakut can be ridden.
Case damage
SUV asks: Is there no case damage more or is he only greatly reduced?
It still exists, but it is significantly reduced.
Jump pads
PHOENIX-2K asks: Are they, I call them Soul jump cushions for the shooting jumping on mountains into the story or are they stop there ?
Your possible lore was not explained in the network test. However, they are far more subtle than feared and did not work on me clatter. The jump is also an optical highlight, as he priced a great view of the game world.
To sneak
EASTERN O DIM asks: Which status is taking sneaking in the game? Is it just an option or even compulsory?
Similarly, Senior, the snake is just an option that offers great opponent.
The difficulty level
How hard is Elder Ring?
HELGA123 asks: How does it behave with the degree of difficulty at Elder Ring? Heavier than Demon s Souls Yes / No?
Elder ring is far more accessible than a demon s soul. Thanks to ghostly summons, a greater focus on magic, the ability to sneak and attack from the horse, you can make the game much easier. Do you want to know more, in my preview I am very detailed on the difficulty level? In summary: Stand now Elder Ring is the lightest of all Souls games — if you use the given possibilities.
Balancing
SUV asks: Is for example in Legacy Dungeons already overexert if you first Degas the whole open world?
It can happen. However, there will be an Open World Stopper in somewhere. A boss you have to defeat first to explore more areas. But you explore every angle, farm level, some opponents will hardly be a challenge. However, as you already say: Weak opponents leave little souls (named in Elder Ring Rene.) You must accordingly get rune farms longer.
Difficulty levels
Hamo8117 asks: How to start-friendly Elder Ring is what options are available for this including possibly difficulty levels?
See How hard is Elder Ring?. There are no difficulty levels.
Story and Lore
G.R.R. Martin
Fungus khan asks: What is it with George R. R. Martin Vibes ? Did the author noticeable his stamp in the game, and if so, on what way is that commenting?
In the network test, there were neither CUTSCENES, nor was the story away less, quite associated dialogues with NPCs present. Lore Via Item descriptions, due to the limited time, I have noticed only occasionally. What I have read, however, seemed quite cryptic how to know it from the Dark Souls series. Here, only the release shows whether Martin s influences are noticeable.
Plot
D G-Cologne asks: What is the Elder Ring?
He is the destroyed source of the Golden Earth tree. His fragments were scattered over the game world, the Lands Between, and they have fallen into the hands of six poverty semi-gods. War and destruction broke out. Our task as a so-called stained is to reinstate the ring and restore the golden order.
Nor-type
Angelou asks: Is the story telling something clearer?
Yes and no. On the one hand, NPCs and their stories are still far more focus, also influence how the game ends. On the other hand, FROMSOFTWARE want to create an even strengthen focus on Environmental Storytelling, which stores story indirectly. In the network test itself, the interaction with NPCs looked very souls-typically familiar. Elder ring will probably not be a game that presents its history 100% obviously, but not quite as cryptically, as in a dark soul.
Fighting system
Fighting
JUMI0308 asks: Is Elder Ring rather a Dark soul, so with the possibility to block and something carrier from the game, or more the direction Senior / Blood borne from the momentum?
The combat system of Elder Ring reminiscent in terms of speed strong souls 3, which is significantly temporally compared to Dark Souls. However, far more preferred than, for example, a secretion or even a blood borne. Block with shields is possible.
Florian2015 asks: How does it differ from the other titles of from Software?
Through weapons skills, various spells, with which you can improve standard weapons. Through ghostly summons (see New Gameplay Features ) and of course the fighting on Yakut.
Weapons and armor
KlonCommander asks: How does it look out with weapons and armor, there is a similar variety as in Dark Souls or more or just as little as in Blood borne, you know that?
In Elder Ring there is a similar variety of armor and weapons as in Dark Souls. Already in the network test I have found many, partly bizarre sets.
Riding
Cog burn asks: I would like to know how the fight is playing at horseback. Did you like it or enriches the render of the fight or is it actually intended to overcome big routes or obstacles?
The ride on Yakut has made me a lot of fun with riding animals in games. He is agile and the fights out of the saddle make mood. My highlight: The Jumped jumps, which are simply classified class. So no, he definitely not only thought to explore the world and to overcome obstacles.
classes
Phonic asks: How are the classes differ? Can every class conjure like in the trailer?
You have the choice of ten different classes, from the normal knight, about magicians to the naked club carrier. However, as usual in souls games, the class is just a benchmark that you can shape at will. However, do you want to put full of magic, the wizard is worthwhile, as he already has a higher intelligence.
Magic
Angelou asks: How balanced is magic this time?
Magic stands in Elder Ring, among other things, through the weapons skills and ghostly summons. The work looks great, brings a lot of variety in, is also possible from the riding and makes it easier for new things to get enormously. Whether it is too powerful in the end, the release will show. Currently, she has something too strong.
Multiplayer
LOOP
Kazan asks: Can I strip with a friend through the Open World? Or are there limits?
There were no limits in the network test. Elder ring was completely playable in the co-op. How the whole thing works in detail and where we have to make smears, a big paragraph in my preview.
Graphic and technology
Optics
GYVE asks: Does the Open World lead to graphic smears or is Elder Ring on the level of a Demon Souls Remakes?
Elder ring is approximately at the graphical level of a Dark Soul 3, with slightly improved particle and light effects, which means that in the first place magic looks better. Elder Ring is nearly no Next-Gen Level, as Bluepoint specifically developed for the PS5 remake to demon s soul.
Performance
Dominik Vested asks: What s up with the performance. Does the current version run all round?
Elder Ring was largely playable in two graphics modes (4k or 60fps) on the PS5. There were problems with Frame-Freezes and jerky passages, which are disturbingly noticed especially in boss fighting. In addition, textures in the distance have built up very late.
General questions
Dragon
Norderstedt asks: Can you capture dragons and fly on them?
That will probably not be possible, but would be a very cool idea.
Character Customization
Norderstedt asks: Are the playable characters all male?
Playable are male and female characters. This applies to all ten classes.
Map
Norderstedt asks: Card markers can be customized in color?
That was not possible in the beta and has not been communicated so far.
fast travel system
Keen asks: Is there a quick trip system?
That is available and can be used via the card from the beginning. Quick travel points are all beacons you discover.
Healing
EASTERN O DIM asks: How does the healing system work? As in Dark Souls with regenerating soaks or as in Blood borne / Demon s soul with items that have to be shared?
Equally, Dark Souls, with regenerating soaks. There are even rare roller bugs that defeat your potions. In addition, there is a special vase whose content and effect you can determine yourself and that is also filled on the beacon automatically. I chose a mixture of cure and faster endurance regeneration. If you drink from the vase, both effects occur.
Currency
Angelo fabian1702 asks: What s the name of the souls currency in the game?
Instead of souls we collect in Elder Ring Runes. However, the principle is similar to the previous games. We get them from enemies, find them in the game world, and we die, stay on the spot, we have to collect them again. If that does not succeed, disappear.
Skill tree
McClain John asks: Is there a skill tree as with Senior?
No. In Elder Ring, we climb the classic level as in a Dark Soul.
Voice output
Angelou asks: Is there a German language edition?
German subtitles and texts will give it, unfortunately a German synchro in contrast to Senior and Blood borne unfortunately not.
Details
Norderstedt asks: Is Elder Ring planned as a multiple or LCS are planned?
There is currently no plans for a continuation, but also nothing is known about LCS. However, from Software is known to provide your games with further content, so I m greatly assuming appropriate success.
Only one word
Index01 asks: Would you have to rate the previous 15 hours with just one word, which would be?
Interesting! Shortly to the explanation: I am a big fan of Game Design and since the announcement of Elder Ring was the question in the room, as FROM software put a sprawling Open World. What influences from other games are noticeable? It was therefore incredibly exciting and just interesting to see how all this plays and feels.
Fan dreams
Index01 asks: Is it the Souls Game what Soul s veterans have dreamed?
I can only speak for me as ancient Souls rabbits, and it s only important to me that from software tries out new ways, new dares. Whether it happens like in Elder Ring by an Open World, as in Senior through a new combat system, in Blood borne by more speed, I do not care about me. Standstill lets the passion at some point sometime, and I definitely do not get it here.
Anticipation
Index01 asks: Is the feeling so... that you donned you during the 15 hours: OMG I want to continue playing ?
Scarce answer: yes !!!!
And finally a look again in the game. Here you will find our conclusion after 15 hours playing time in Elder Ring:
