Miyakazi also says that Elden Ring will focus more heavily on RPG elements. The mythos of this game has been written by George R.R Martin and Miyazaki was full of praise when talking about them. “This mythos proved to be full of interesting characters and drama along with a plethora of mystical and mysterious elements as well,” said Miyazaki. “It was a wonderful source of stimulus for the development staff and me. Elden Ring’s world was constructed using this mythos and stimulus as a base. Even I myself find it hard to contain my excitement from time to time. We hope that everyone else is looking forward to the world we have created.” said Miyazaki. Elden Ring is set to be the biggest game ever made by FromSoftwares. They have made a lot of big-budget games like Dark Souls and Sekiro. So beating a game of that stature means Elden Ring is going to be something special for sure. Phil Spencer, the Chief of Xbox games, has already tried out Elden Rings. Perks of being the boss of a gaming company, you can say. He said, “I’ve actually seen quite a bit. I’ve played quite a bit.
