In view of the colossal success of Elden Ring, will FromSoftware absolutely seek to perpetuate this formula in the future? Not according to the game’s creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Today is a big day for Elden Ring fans. After many months of waiting and speculation of all kinds, FromSoftware has finally formalized The Shadow of the World Tree, the game’s future DLC. It will thus allow the 20 million players who have already answered the call to extend their adventure within the Entre-Terre which has definitely left its mark on video games. However, the creator of the game wants to assure it: the success of the latter will not affect the studio’s future projects.
Elden Ring will not rule the future of FromSoftware
“Elden Ring is a commercial success. Everybody knows it.” Hidetaka Miyazaki told IGN during the 26th Annual DICE Awards. Then add: “But that doesn’t really affect what we’re going to create next. We keep making the game we want to make, and that’s our policy. It is very simple “. This is quite reassuring since Despite the phenomenal success of the game, FromSoftware obviously does not want to rest on its laurels. in the future.
Below, the designer goes a little further by evoking some of his main inspirations of the moment. Then mention in particular “Multiplayer elements that continue to be updated, both in terms of technology and game design”, with a game like Escape from Tarkov as an example. Because yes, Miyazaki seems very interested in other studios’ work on multiplayer features.and more precisely how it changes “how players participate in the game”.
Towards a more compatible multiplayer dimension?
Should we conclude that FromSoftware could further accentuate the multiplayer dimension of your experiences in the future ? Obviously, it’s too early to tell. However, this is not surprising when we see that Elden Ring has already taken a first step in this direction, and even more with the arrival of the Colosseum last December. Anyway, it will probably be necessary to be patient before discovering the studio’s next projectwho is currently taking care of the future DLC of the game.
As a reminder, Elden Ring is now available en PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
