FromSoftware talks about plans for Elden Ring 2 and other upcoming titles.
It's no secret that FromSoftware has been dominating the gaming world with their Soulslike titles, but fans have been eagerly anticipating what their next game will be. As rumors of a potential acquisition by Sony continue to swirl, fans have been speculating if their next game will be another entry in the Soulslike genre.

Despite the massive success of their latest game, Elden Ring, director Hidetaka Miyazaki has revealed that there are currently no plans for a sequel. This may come as a surprise to some, considering the game's record-breaking sales and numerous awards, including Game of the Year. There have even been talks of a potential movie adaptation.

But according to Miyazaki, the studio is not focused on creating an Elden Ring 2 at the moment. This was made clear during the PlayStation Partner Awards in Japan, where the DLC expansion Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree won the Grand Award alongside other acclaimed titles.

When asked about the possibility of an Elden Ring series, Miyazaki responded that they are not considering any developments for a sequel. He did mention that the franchise will continue, but it's possible he was referring to the movie adaptation. Instead, Miyazaki expressed interest in exploring other projects, hinting at multiple new games in development at the studio.

While Miyazaki didn't give any details about these projects, he did mention that they cover a wide range of genres. This is a departure from their usual focus on Soulslike titles, with only occasional deviations for games like Armored Core 6 and Déraciné.

With the success of Elden Ring, FromSoftware has the resources to expand and explore new ventures. It's unlikely that they will release another Armored Core game so soon, and their other franchises are currently dormant. This leaves fans wondering what their next game will be and eagerly anticipating any news or hints from the studio.

As for their previous publisher, Bandai Namco, their opinion on the matter doesn't hold much weight as they handed over full ownership of the Elden Ring IP to FromSoftware earlier this year. However, if Sony's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, does acquire them, there is a possibility that Sony may pressure FromSoftware to make Elden Ring 2 a PlayStation exclusive.

Fans can't help but wonder if this will be the case, but for now, we can only speculate and continue to support FromSoftware in their future endeavors.
