Elden Ring Nightreign producer thanks players for “bravely” embracing its “peculiar aspects” as it collects Mixed Steam reviews: “As with Demon’s Souls or Sekiro, it may be confounding at first”

The game Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, is stirring up a lot of debate lately. Its Metacritic rating harks back to the studio’s old mysteries, while Steam reviews criticize it for various aspects, including a 60fps limit and the absence of duos mode. Despite these issues, over 2 million players have purchased it, and producer Yasuhiro Kitao expresses his gratitude to those who did.

Kitao comments on Nightreign’s unique features in its game design, distinguishing it from our recent releases. He acknowledges that despite these differences, many of you have ventured courageously into this universe, and expresses deep gratitude for your willingness to explore.

Games developed by FromSoftware are typically an acquired preference, yet a significant number of individuals have found themselves appreciating this unique taste, particularly between Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Similar to Demon’s Souls or Sekiro, Kitao explains, Nightreign might initially seem puzzling, but it provides its own set of challenges and experiences, similar to those games.

After getting past the first challenge, it will undoubtedly give you a unique feeling of achievement. We wish you an enjoyable experience with it.

As more time goes by, it will become evident just how well the community accepts or rejects Nightreign. At this moment, there is no unanimous opinion on the matter. However, one thing that stands undeniably clear is that Nightreign caters to a significantly larger multiplayer audience compared to FromSoft’s recent projects.

As a gamer eagerly waiting for the release of FromSoftware’s highly anticipated title, The Duskbloods for Switch 2, I can’t help but feel the pressure on Nightreign. After all, both games share a similar genre and it’s crucial that they each carve out their unique space. Here’s to hoping that both Nightreign and The Duskbloods manage to make their respective impacts in the gaming world.
