Eldon's Ring of Law will be released on February 25, the game has been sent to the factory, and the first day patch is also in production. Many loyal fans can't wait to play the game, but worry about whether the open world of Eldon's Law Ring will be attractive enough.
Edge magazine recently interviewed Hidetaka Miyazaki, who revealed how FromSoftware is creating the open world of Eldon's Circle of Law and the challenges it faces. Originally scheduled to be released in January, but postponed to February, Hidetaka Miyazaki said part of the reason for the game's delay was related to the strict requirements of open-world design.
Hidetaka Miyazaki said: "We want to achieve more freedom in the final ring of eldon than we originally planned. The gradual increase in complexity, especially debugging and QA, took us more effort and time. ”
The development of the open world of Eldon's Ring of Law also brought new challenges to the development team. Dark Souls has a claustrophobic and compact environment that keeps people nervous and alert. The Eldon Ring of Law Open World will inevitably offer quieter moments.
"Since starting the Dark Souls series, we've had to experiment in a lot of areas, iteratively updating the game mechanics in order to expand on new titles. A lot has to do with the pace of the game, as well as the flow of the game so that players don't get bored. ”
FromSoftware has mastered some open-world design techniques that have energized the open world of Eldon's Circle of Law. "About 80% of the vegetation and tree placement in the game is done programmatically, allowing the development team to focus on other areas," Miyazaki said. ”
The Eldon Ring of Law game is massive, and despite its design challenges, it ultimately enhances the game's sense of exploration, world construction, and mystery, which characterize FromSoftware games. "It actually allows us to convey more details and elements that we couldn't achieve on a smaller scale before."
