Elden Ring Gameplay LEAK: 6 New Details You Need To Know
3. A Day/Night Cycle
After many, many, viewings of the available footage, the rumoured day/night cycle inclusion in the game seems to have been confirmed.
The footage shows environments in the day, at night, and what looks like dawn or dusk. This could be triggered by some event in the game, or when you enter a boss battle, but the sections showing what looks like the open world, are shown at day, night and dusk/dawn, and what looks like the same boss fight is shown with a dark night sky, then a lighter sky.
This would be a wholly unique inclusion in a FromSoftware game, and enhance the open-world gameplay. Travelling long distances on horseback with the sky slowly making its way from dusk to dawn, taking in the sights and sounds of Elden Ring's environment sounds like a brand new way to fall in love with a FromSoftware world.
