Ah, but you see Miyazaki, you already haveArmored Core VI, do you not? It wouldnt even be the first time someone triedsomething so foolish, yet so utterly sublime....

The intention may be as simple as including a greater number of homeless NPCs in the sequel. Whatever the case, it is at least something they are thinking about.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an "evolution of JRPGs" set in 19th century France in which you fight a mad painter

It is, alas, too late for me. “Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith,” goes the Steam blurb. “Paints her cursed number. And everyone of that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint ‘33.’ We are Expedition 33.” Doubtless that Paintress is to blame. you might read more onthe Steam page- it doesn’t have a release date yet....

Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki, "smaller" games may be the "next stage"

I think it’s a great thing, personally. What comes after Elden Ring then? Miyazaki says that he’d love to see up-and-coming developers within FromSoftware take the lead. I think Elden Ring andShadow Of The Erdtreeare brilliant, don’t get me wrong. I doubt this is the end for Souls, which makes me happy! Gimme more games with bonfires and skeletons. But also, I’m glad they’re looking to foster a culture of experimentation....

Albatroz is a Latin American backpacking RPG with glorious views in which you search for a walking mountain

I’m probably being very condescending and unkind to developers Among Giants, here. I’m sure the sentiments are heartfelt. The writing isn’t all monuments to mortality. There are those villages, each of which has its history and spread of personalities. This feels much closer toBrothers: A Tale Of Two Sonsthan The Revenant. Albatroz is out this year.
