In a lengthy presentation and video Q&A, producer Yasuhiro Kitao revealed that Elden Ring was designed to be less stressful, though no less difficult, compared to other FromSoftware games.

The challenge was to place enemies in a way that would keep players interested, but still provide them with a low-stress experience....
