Praised by the creator of The Last Of Us, Neil Druckmann, Miyazaki is credited for his unique approach to video game storytelling and creating an environment of trust that allows players to explore and understand without being 'overexplained'. Druckmann has expressed his admiration for Miyazaki's work and has teased potential collaboration opportunities due to Sony's close ties with FromSoftware. This recognition is a well-deserved honour for Miyazaki, even though his work on Elden Ring has yet to have a chance to have an impact. Nevertheless, we look forward to what Miyazaki will bring to the gaming world in upcoming projects.

The creator of Dark Souls was praised by The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann, marking only the second time ever that a video game developer has been featured in this prestigious list.
Druckmann applauded Miyazaki's upcoming game Elden Ring, describing it as ‘a great ambassador for video games and the unique feelings they can effect in the player, feelings that a passive medium like TV can never re-create.’ He also praised Miyazaki's ‘uncompromising approach’, which allows players to figure out the game's mechanics and lore on their own.
This is the second time this year that Druckmann has expressed his admiration for Miyazaki, as he is ‘intrigued’ by games that ‘don’t rely as much on traditional narrative’ and ‘trust their audience to figure things out’. This could lead to a possible collaboration between the two, given Sony’s close ties to FromSoftware.
It is clear that Hidetaka Miyazaki is a well-deserved addition to the Time 100 list, as his work has had a positive influence on the video game industry. Although it remains to be seen if he will launch any new games this year, we can be sure that Miyazaki will continue to lead the way with his innovative approach.
