Hidetaka Miyazaki, the man all men want to be like (probably), has talked about his reaction to Elden Ring’s success, plans going forward, and his favorite bosses in his latest masterpiece. In an interview with Xbox Wire’s Japanese version, Miyazaki said that he was surprised and happy with how well Elden Ring had performed.
Perhaps most notably, Miyazaki said that From Software won’t change their approach to game development or design and will continue to make games that “they believe are interesting” according to a translation provided by industry Twitter superstar Nibel. Given the entire rest of the world seems to find them interesting too, probably a good plan. I’d be confident that no amount of success is going to change how From do what they do best, given those design principles have survived three massive publishers (Activision, Sony, and Bandai Namco), multiple franchises, and all their success so far.
