Jun. 22, 2024Hidetaka Miyazaki Addresses Speculation About An Easy Mode For Elden Ring
Easy mode is not coming to Elden Ring: and here is why.Hidetaka Miyazaki, director ofElden Ringand the recently released DLC,Shadow of the Erdtree, explained during an interview why the game cannot be made easier or why different difficulty modes are not being considered, and made it clear that soulslike games are not for everyone.
In an interview withThe Guardian,Miyazakidiscussed the requests that have been made over time to makeElden Ringmore accessible to more players. His response, though perhaps not pleasing to everyone, seems quite logical.
“If we wanted everyone to play, we could lower the difficulty more and more. But that was not the appropriate strategy,” he explains in the interview. “If we had done that, I don’t think the game would have worked in this way.”
He understands that “the sense of pride that players feel when overcoming these obstacles is a fundamental part of the experience. If we lowered the difficulty, we would take that happiness away from the game and, in my view, it would break it.”
Shadow of the Erdtreeadds newbossesto Elden Ring and promises to push the player to reach new limits. In fact, you will have to overcome obstacles before being able to play it, as you need to defeat Mohg.
The reception among critics has been so good thatElden Ring’s DLChas dethroned Blood and Wine, one ofThe Witcher 3expansions, from the top-rated expansion spot.CD Projekt Redresponded on X, congratulating the FromSoftware team.
For the last 8 years, The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine had the honor of being the best reviewed expansion for a role-playing game – but@ELDENRINGgets to wear that crown now. Congratulations to the entire team at@fromsoftware_pron their stellar work!pic.twitter.com/aop9B1ZG3J
Miyazaki has been touring with various media outlets and, in another interview withRolling Stone, explained that he wants to explore new game styles. However, he does not want to interfere with other From Software titles that are already very well established.
We will likely have to wait a while for more information on what to expect in this regard.The Dark Soulsuniverse is undoubtedly his great work. But it will be interesting to see if, in the future, he opts to present his own vision of other popular game styles. In any case,Shadow of the Erdtreeis already a sensation on platforms like Steam.
