FromSoftware has actually cemented itself over the previous decade as a developer with one of many strongest outputs round, with titles like Bloodborne, Armored Core 6, and Elden Ring beneath its belt amongst a few Darkish Souls too. The developer clearly hasn’t proven off the rest it is at present engaged on because the launch of Elden Ring’s solely little bit of DLC Shadow of the Erdtree earlier this 12 months, however studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki just lately received the Grand Award on the PlayStation Companion Awards 2024 Japan Asia, the place he made a pair feedback about the way forward for the studio.
“We have now a number of initiatives within the works throughout quite a lot of genres,” Miyazaki mentioned (by way of GAME Watch, translations from Gematsu). “There are title(s) directed by me, in addition to title(s) directed by these aside from myself. In that regard, I feel we’ll have the ability to present you a brand new FromSoftware in quite a lot of methods, so please sit up for it.” There’s one recreation you should not essentially anticipate from the developer, although, which could come as a little bit of a shock: Elden Ring 2.
When requested in regards to the Elden Ring IP, Miyazaki mentioned (by way of IGN Japan, translations from Automaton), “We’re probably not contemplating developments akin to an Elden Ring 2.” That’ll clearly be a disgrace for anybody hoping for a sequel to some of the extremely regarded video games round, however Miyazaki did observe that it is not attainable that the IP may be developed additional “in some type sooner or later.” There may be that cellular model from Tencent that is reportedly within the works, however who is aware of if that’ll ever see the sunshine of day, even whether it is actual.
