According to producer Yasuhiro Kitao, the much-anticipated open-world game from Dark Souls developer Elden Ring should take roughly 30 hours to finish its main storyline. To say that players are thrilled about the game would be an understatement, since Elden Ring has won Most Anticipated Game at the annual Game Awards two years in a row.
While the game has gone gold, ensuring its release on February 25th, it has been a lengthy journey for fans eager for the dark fantasy adventure from Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. Elden Ring’s enigmatic announcement teaser for FromSoftware’s new game at E3 2019 left people thirsty for more information. The developer was incredibly tight-lipped about the new game’s specifics, leading fans to believe it had been scrapped until it was shown in action with the June 2021 gameplay trailer.
The news that the game’s lore was written by epic fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin delighted fans, but it also caused worry due to Martin’s work being notoriously delayed. But, the Game of Thrones author has previously promised fans that his work on Elden Ring is nearing completion. Even better, fresh information promises Elden Ring gamers that completing the game will take less time than completing Martin’s prior works. Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao indicated that, while it would vary depending on the user, completing the game’s main goal should take roughly 30 hours. Kitao admits the game is the largest FromSoftware has built to date in an interview for The Taipei Game Show on BANDAI NAMCO’s YouTube channel, as reported by IGN. To complete the game completely, numerous playthroughs and dozens of hours would be required to complete the game’s side-quests and additional dungeons.
The interview goes over fresh Elden Ring gameplay and information, showcasing what fans can anticipate when they finally get their hands on the game, including the numerous optional dungeons players will want to explore if they want to earn some of the game’s best gear. According to Kitao, the game will also have larger Legacy Dungeons, which will take players away from the open-world setting. The Legacy Dungeons aim to offer an intense and demanding environment with sophisticated designs that souls aficionados are accustomed to from previous games.
While completion of both dungeons is not needed to complete the game’s main storey, Kitao explains that Elden Ring is built on the exploration of these two very distinct sorts of gaming areas. This announcement should please fans who were concerned about Elden Ring’s more open-world gameplay than prior games from the firm, and it should provide players with far more than 30 hours of amusement. FromSoftware games, like as Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series, have a reputation of putting gamers’ abilities and patience to the test. Elden Ring hopes to continue that trend with its magnificent boss bottles and numerous dungeons. With all of the expected games set to be released in the first few months of 2022, some gamers may be relieved to learn that the Elden Ring’s storey will only take roughly 30 hours to finish. Thankfully, after Elden Ring is released on February 25th, 2022, diehard fans will have enough of dungeons and side-quests to dig their teeth into.
