Sorry,Elden Ringfans, it doesn’t sound like we’ll be returning to the Lands Between for a full-blown sequel any time soon, as director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirms thatFromSoftware"isn’t really considering" such developments right now.
“We’re not really considering developments such as an Elden Ring 2,” he said, adding the idea of developing the IP further could still happen “in some form in the future.” This is the same sort of sentiment he shared back in February, at which pointhe also said a second DLC wasn’t planned.
The full interview has been shared by Japanese siteGame Watch, and when translated (viaGoogleand DeepL), we can see that Miyazaki was also pressed further on exactly what FromSoftware is working on right now. After all, he recently teased at the Golden Joystick Awards that thestudio is “currently working on various new projects,“but didn’t elaborate on what they were. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he’s not given much away here, either, reiterating that there are multiple projects being cooked up behind the scenes, but he curiously teases them covering different genres, and he apparently won’t be the director of all of them.
What genres those will be is yet another matter, but it is intriguing – after all, the studio is best known for its action RPGs and soulslikes. Dark Souls farming sim, anyone?
Owner of Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware confirms its studios have 20 console games in development, and we can only hope one of them is a Bloodborne remaster.
