Another detail thanks to information from Gematsu helping confirm this project was indeed in development before the recent info-dump, they pointed out a gameplay template that sounds a lot like The Witcher 3.

Mainly citing horse-riding as your go-to method of traversing the open-world, this will be the first time any FromSoftware title has dealt in methods of transportation/movement that aren't entirely on-foot.

I have to imagine they'll apply a style of horse riding and control akin to MGS 5: The Phantom Pain; the idea almost being to override motion-captured, extended animations for a snappier, weightier feel. I just don't see FromSoftware suddenly sacrificing their core games' tactile sensibilities for an overblown, Red Dead Redemption 2-style "immersive" take, and being able to use your horse reliably and quickly is most likely what we'll get.
