Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, talked recently about how multiplayer games influence his method of game development. In particular, Miyazaki mentioned the game Escape from Tarkov.
"I'm not sure if this is the current trend, but multiplayer elements," Miyazaki said of the game's design. "It's very interesting to me as a creator and a fan of the game."
Miyazaki was interested in how other developers use multiplayer elements, but the designer paid particular attention to how players played a role in bringing the whole experience to life via features such as intrusions and messages.
Miyazaki's interest in multiplayer games such as Escape from Tarkov suggests that he will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, while also creating experiences that are both enjoyable and challenging for players.
