I have no idea if this will be good or not. At first glance it screams Sony cash grab. I like Fromsoftware, but they reuse assets like crazy and are fairly blatant in doing so...this looks like a weekend of hacking mod and the story behind it's creation doesn't change my opinion at all.

The director wanted had the game idea for using the assets and the CEO greenlit it, so it's probably one of the more 'experimental' games that we'll be seeing more of as the FS team is bigger now.

This to me feels like them experimenting with the a Monster Hunter style game. Team play monster hunting.

Interesting that they went with 45mins as the rough game length with 3 15min phases. For a lot of "action online" games that's at the longer end of the scale for a single session, esp as its more enforced by design (unless there's ways to speed up a run).

I'm glad to see that it will retain a singleplayer mode, time will tell if its functional/fun single or if the team side really is the make or break.



It could be an interesting side experiment; or it could even end up branching off into its own game format. Monster Hunter is very popular and From Software's powerful bosses and team battles have been a thing for ages so having it as the core focus inside of an optional part by design could take them in a new direction.

The description makes it sound like a rogue-like, which piques my interest.

And frankly, if they can bring older bosses and upgrade them to ER level, then absolutely hell yeah. I pray the door they opened at the end is the abyss and we get fully re-worked Artorias and Manus. Bring Artorias up to Malenia's level.

Even if this is good, I'm not sure if I'll like it, but it's definitely interesting.
