In a recent interview with Famitsu (translated by Automaton), Itsuno, who has recently left Capcom to work on his own new AAA project after directing games like Devil May Cry 5 and Dragon’s Dogma 2, shared some details about the game he’s working on. Contrary to expectations, Itsuo mentioned that this upcoming title is not exactly the kind of game he’s always envisioned creating.

In today’s contemporary gaming landscape, there’s a noticeable decrease in the prevalence of extensive open-world fantasy projects compared to the past. The period where gamers boasted about the expansive maps of fantasy games appears to have faded away, leaving fans of Elden Ring yearning for another game that captures its immersive world feel as effectively. Here are five games that can satisfy your craving for open-world fantasy adventures until the next FromSoftware masterpiece emerges, promising another engrossing experience.

A notable modder named InfernoPlus has ingeniously combined two fantastic game worlds, blending Morrowind’s expansive landscape into Elden Ring to create an extraordinary fusion that could be called… Eldenwind. Or perhaps more appropriately, Morroweld. This remarkable creation is the work of Todd RR “Miyazaki” Howard.

The detailed description of the trailer indicates that Rebellion plans to disclose additional information about the contents of “The Red Strain” as the game’s expansion release draws near.

The description in the trailer tells us that Rebellion will spill the beans on what’s inside “The Red Strain” as the expansion gets ready to hit shelves. Check out the debut teaser for the new story add-on of Atomfall, creatively named “The Red Strain,” here:

In simpler terms, the second DLC is a continuation of the first expansion pack called Atomfall, which comes as a bonus if you purchased the deluxe edition of the radioactive survival game Wicked Isle. I haven’t had a chance to play this expansion yet, but this new add-on seems like a great reason to revisit and explore it further.

Deliverance 2’s Legacy of the Forge DLC. Once players start customizing Henry’s home in Legacy of the Forge, this particular aspect from Brushes With Death will come into play.

For fans of character action games, the past years have been especially tough. Exciting titles such as Stellar Blade and Black Myth: Wukong appear visually stunning, but their combat leans towards the challenging, soulslike style, lacking the fluid air combos often found in these types of games. Notably, apart from Bayonetta 3 (which fell short of expectations), the last substantial boost action games received was Devil May Cry 5 back in 2019.

In Titan Quest II, you assume the role of a character pursued by Nemesis, a goddess who, after devastating Sparta decades ago, is on a mission to eliminate you, considering you as her only potential threat. Despite it being early access, the game offers around five hours of storyline, and this brief experience has left me eager for more. The narrative entices with several subplots, while also allowing you to flee the destruction of your homeland, engage in battles against deities, delve into celestial mysteries, and battle countless crustaceans – yes, plenty of crabs!

Within an article in The New Yorker focusing on A24’s growth within the film industry and future plans, there’s a brief tale of how the Elden Ring movie came to be. As narrated, A24’s head of film Noah Sacco met Garland following the director’s enthusiastic phone conversation about the game. Sacco then observed Garland playing it.
