Elden Ring: The season is known – some should take vacations

From Software provided specific information about the Elden Ring season. Players can expect several hours again. One factor has a big impact.

TOKYO, JAPAN – Whether it’s Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or Sekiro, software games aren’t just bad games, they usually offer hours upon hours of content. It would be no different with the Elden Ring. A producer has now revealed more detailed information about the role-playing game season. One factor has a particularly big impact. In either case, it should not be possible to do everything at once.

Elden Ring Playtime: A clear number for the main story – “dozens” of hours of side content

Here is what Elden Ring has to say: Elden Ring launch is just around the corner. The new game from the creators of Souls is set to appear in a month. Given the stated gold status of the Elden Ring, another postponement appears unlikely. Maybe diehard fans can start planning their vacation. For this, information about the season should not be irrelevant, which from the software product Yasuhiro Kitao specifically stated in a new interview.

What is the main story of the Elden Ring? It will vary greatly by player., Kitao said when asked how many hours are dedicated to playing Elden Ring. So this is the factor that affects the playing time the most. “But in terms of goals set during development, the main story should be completed in about 30 hours”, and then added.

The main story should be completed in about 30 hours.

How much play time does side content provide? Due to the huge map of Elden Ring, players who are keen to explore should have a lot more time to play. Because as Kitao revealed, the game as a whole is “very comprehensive” and contains “dozens of hours of gameplay”.

Elden Ring: Playtime can be extended by a well-known feature

What else affects the Elden Ring season? Later in the interview, Yasuhiro Kitao commented on a well-known feature that could also affect Elden Ring’s playing time. Like our other titles, the game has replay options.He said of the software producer.

What does Elden Ring New Game Plus include? That’s why Kitao said: “After beating the game the first time, you can take control of your character’s data and play the game again, but against improved opponents.” Accordingly, in Elden Rings, similar to Bloodborne or Sekiro, you can start the campaign from the beginning in the so-called “New Game Plus”, but depending on the producer, you can keep the equipment you have acquired so far.

Completers in particular may have to take advantage of it. Because according to Kitao, it is “technically impossible” to “get 100 percent” the first time. The reason is the ‘branching’ of the game towards the end. However, it is possible to approach it in play. Given the usually high level of difficulty of the Elden Ring, this should only apply to a few.
