Ashes of Wars are a new addition to Soulsborne games. They not only aid the players but help with diversifying the gameplay and builds. For example, a strength build may use a magic Ash of War, or a magic build may use an armament that heals the player. Despite their power, some Ashes of War are limited to the type of armaments they can be applied to. The armament also needs to have an available skill slot, so some of Elden Ring’s weirdest weapons may not be applica

The gameplay and obtuse storytelling of Elden Ring takes the fantasy action RPG mechanics codified by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls and spices it up with a vast open world players can explore on horseback (specifically, through the frequent use of Elden Ring 's horned spectral steed named Torrent , summoned when the player character blows on a whistle ring). This open world exploration introduced new players to From Software's Soulslike series of games and attracted the attention of open-world game designers from other game studios. Some of these game designers publicly expressed a dislike for how Elden Ring broke certain rules of game design, while simultaneously wondering how Elden Ring became so successful despite breaking those ru

Another duo to add to the pile is the fight with the Crucible Knights. Although fans at Ranker have determined that Ordovis is more memorable than his companion, they still possess excellent teamwork. Unlike other duo fights, both of the knights are deadly qu

Given the current readily available information, speculation and prediction has it that the next Armored Core game is in line to be FromSoftware's next release. While neither Miyazaki or any other studio developer has officially confirmed this, recent 2022 leaks show Armored Core 6 is the game that's in the final stages of development at FromSoftware. Red Liquorice claimed, on January 8, to have done a consumer survey regarding a new Armored Core game. The individual didn't mention a title name, so there's no indication of whether it would pick the series back up from Armored Core 5 (2012) or - if the leaks are true - continue to expand on the brand in a different fashion, such as a standalone title or the beginning to a brand-new narrative and thematic thread for the series. Regardless, a new Armored Core game seems believable because it's been nearly a decade since the last one was publis

_Elden Ring _ has many powerful and helpful Ashes of War, but some are more powerful than others. Deciding which Ash of War to use will be dependent on a player’s play style and build. But they all are meant to assist the Tarnished in their qu

In some of the critiques of Elden Ring (including its easily improvable co-op) published on social media sites, game developers asserted that Elden Ring has bad UX, short for User Experience. In the context of video games, UX/User Experience refers to a branch of video game design focused on making a game intuitive and emotionally satisfying to play. To create a good User Experience in video games, UX developers will use play-testing, player feedback, and even psychological analysis to fine-tune aspects such as the user interface, the sensory feedback players receive when they press controller buttons, and how quickly players can grasp the game's rules and go

With the information currently available in the mainstream, it's difficult to pinpoint an exact title or sequel that might follow Elden Ring . However, there are certain releases that can, given the information provided by Miyazaki and other leaks, be ruled out for the next upcoming FromSoftware launch. Recently, rumors have begun surfacing from alleged insiders, and if they're accurate, they provide a reasonable case for a classic franchise to follow the company's hit Elden Ri

Putting down one of the two won’t actually kill them. They’ll endlessly revive until the shared health pool is depleted. This makes the fight one of endurance that can really sap a player’s patience. Luckily, summons can help the player dramatically by taking aggro off of t

Dark Souls , FromSoftware's best-known game series, is out of the question for the next release. This should come as no surprise either because Hidetaka Miyazaki already stated in 2017 that Dark Souls 3 wrapped up the trilogy, and, at least for the near future, the series was over. Also, observing what the studio has done in the past, it hasn't typically picked back up on series that've reached the climax; usually there is a period of waiting before a continuation is confirmed. However, this doesn't necessarily mean there won't ever be another Dark Souls game, as there's still a lot of potential for story development. Even so, it's unlikely it would be the next release, or even that it would be coming anytime soon. FromSoftware could use this waiting period to continue remastering older Dark Souls games with Bad first impressions, just as in 2018, or the studio could continue working on new content while focusing on bringing new life to older proje
