Elden Ring: Nightreign will remove an iconic feature of the last game. Why won't players be able to leave messages?
Elden Ring: Nightreign will omit the in-game messaging feature, a departure from FromSoftware's tradition. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision in a recent interview, citing the game's shorter, approximately forty-minute play sessions. He stated that the limited playtime doesn't allow sufficient opportunity for players to leave or read messages.
This change is notable given the significant role messaging has played in enhancing player interaction and enjoyment in previous FromSoftware titles. However, the development team deemed the feature unsuitable for Nightreign's design.
To maintain the integrity of the original Elden Ring, Nightreign features a separate narrative. It offers a fresh adventure, introducing new challenges and encounters while preserving the distinctive atmosphere and complex world of Elden Ring.
