Hidetaka Miyazaki Talks About FromSoftware's Creative Freedom Amid

Dark Souls and Elden Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki reassures fans that FromSoftware can still freely make the games they want to make despite shareholder pressure on parent company Kadokawa.

Recently, Miyazaki addressed the activist investment firm's increasing stake in Kadokawa, emphasizing that FromSoftware can continue its creative work without excessive interference. Oasis Management Company, the activist investor, believes Kadokawa is not maximizing FromSoftware's value and has called for changes within the company.

Despite concerns about potential impacts on future titles, Miyazaki remains positive about the creative environment at FromSoftware. He expressed a commitment to maintaining the studio's autonomy and focusing on game development, encouraging players to anticipate both announced and unannounced projects.

In the realm of announced titles, players can expect Elden Ring Tarnished Edition and a new action title, The Duskbloods, on Switch 2 later this year. With Elden Ring's global success and ongoing projects like Elden Ring: Nightreign, fans eagerly await FromSoftware's future releases.
