It’s an original game. Many assets are not original. Many others will be. This is a very normal part of game development. As much as “asset flips” were an issue back when the Steam floodgates opened, people seem to have really misunderstood what the problem actually was.
I’d say you’d have a point if FromSoft didn’t just publish two major games within a year of each other (Elden Ring, Armored Core) and then a game-sized DLC on top of that.
Could Nightreign have just been another Elden Ring DLC instead? I don’t know, maybe. But it’s not priced as a full game and I’m not sure why people expect it to be one.
