Elden Ring Creator Explains Why There Are No Rings And Why He Won T Play It Says The Game Is Varied

Elden Ring is now officially less than two months away from its February 25th, 2022 release date. As part of the obligatory hype machine, creator and FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki was interviewed by EDGE magazine (issue 367). Miyazaki-san answered several questions, including why there are no rings that players can actually wear in Elden Ring.

Miyazaki then went on to say something slightly surprising. While Elden Ring is essentially his ideal game, he likely won’t play it because he feels it wouldn’t feel like a fresh experience, having spent so much time working on it.

Elden Ring will be particularly satisfying for the explorers, according to Miyazaki. That’s partly thanks to the variety FromSoftware was able to put into the game.

Another noteworthy tidbit from the interview is that mounted combat won’t be enforced on players in any way. It should be considered as just another viable strategy among many.

Which one of the Elden Ring topics discussed by Miyazaki-san excites you the most ahead of the game’s launch?
