A video about the influence and impact that From Software's latest release, Elden Ring, will have on the gaming industry. In it we will discuss how this new hardcore action RPG Open World Soulslike ignores the trends of the medium to find massive success both critically and commercially. We will talk about the ways it may inspire future titles and how publishers and developers may react to its accomplishments. We will also discuss how elements like difficulty settings, obtuse world design, and social features lend themselves towards creating a passionate community and thus increases the reach of these Soulsbourne games even further.
