Elden Ring will be FromSoftware’s first release since 2019’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and more than six years since Dark Souls 3 came out in 2016. It’s hard to believe the studio hasn’t worked on an action RPG for that long, but it’s true. FromSoftware was somewhat intimidated by the Demon’s Souls remake visually, but that didn’t stop director Hidetaka Miyazaki from claiming Elden Ring will be better than Dark Souls.
Apparently, the game will take roughly 30 hours to finish if you’re only doing the mainline quest. It’s an open world game though, so the runtime will likely extend beyond that if you like exploring every corner of the map.
