"Standalone" ❎, "Sequel" ✅

Why do you need validation that it's a "STANDALONE" instead of just it actually being a SEQUEL?

Because it doesn't, a, take place after the story and thus ISN'T a narrative sequel. and b, is a standalone game as in you don't need to play Elden Ring to understand or appreciate this one and c, it will play and narratively probably be minimally connected.

Not rocket science.

Nobody's asking for validation. If you actually paid attention (reading comprehension is a HUGE challenge these days, stay in school kids) to the IGN interview, the guy states that it's a spin-off and not a sequel.
