Elden Ring and Dark Souls developerFromSoftware’s corporate owner has announced that it’s got a total of 26 games in development, which feels like it should be good news for Miyazaki fans.
TheElden Ringand Dark Souls studio is owned by Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa Corporation. Kadokawa owns dozens of companies, but among them are a handful of game developers and publishers, including Danganronpa dev Spike Chunsoft, the developers of RPG Maker, and visual novel publisher Ascii Media Works.
According to Kadokawa’s latest earnings report (viaGamewatch, translated viaAutomaton), the conglomerate has 26 games in active development - 20 for console and six for mobile. Clearly, that’s a number split across multiple companies, but we only know about a handful of them. Most notable right now is probablyAction Game Maker, which developer Gotcha Gotcha Games revealed in July as a follow-up to its acclaimed RPG development tool, but that still leaves several unaccounted-for titles.
“I know for a fact these guys want a Bloodborne PC port,” Hidetaka Miyazaki says of FromSoftware staff, but “if I say I want one, I’ll get in trouble.”
