FromSoftware is engaged on a brand new standalone recreation set on this planet of Elden Ring.

So whereas FromSoftware boss Hidetaki Miyazaki acknowledged final week Elden Ring 2 is not in growth, this standalone spin-off is increasing the franchise.
Elden Ring gamers will discover loads of recognisable enemies, however fortunately there look to be some new terrifying bosses: a lightning-wielder on a dragon, a cerberus with an enormous whip, and a hovering goat yoga grasp (?!).
It seems like motion has a sooner tempo too and, presumably, the problem has been balanced for co-op play – the trailer exhibits three gamers battling directly. However, writer Bandai Namco has confirmed solo play is an choice.

Sounds virtually like a roguelike to me!
