Before being known for their stellar work on the Souls series and Elden Ring, they had developed several cult classics. These deep cuts aren’t remembered on the same level as their more recent titles but are beloved by many. Now that Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has finally been released into the world, it seems like FromSoftware is working on a few different projects that aren’t Elden Ring 2, in a shocking twist of fate.
If They Make a New ‘King’s Field’, I’ll Say “Yay” Real Loud
In a recent interview via GameWatch, translated and posted by Gematsu from the PlayStation Partners 2024 showcase, Hidetaka Miyazaki was asked about upcoming projects and Elden Ring 2. He can be quoted as saying:
“We have multiple projects in the works across a variety of genres. There are titles directed by me, as well as titles directed by those other than myself. In that regard, I think we’ll be able to show you a new FromSoftware in a variety of ways, so please look forward to it.”
With the speculation of an eventual Elden Ring sequel seemingly stamped out for the foreseeable future, where do they go next? Does this mean that FromSoftware is finally going back to some of their other IP? The King’s Field fandom is salivating at the thought.
FromSoftware has been on a generational roll as of late. Shadow of the Erdtree took home a Grand Award during the aforementioned Sony Partners ceremony. And it feels like they’ve been knocking out banger after banger, so I’m not going to sweat about what they come up with next. It would be intriguing to see them take on something like Berserk as a passion project. Considering the number of references that are in Dark Souls and Elden Ring, they would kill it.
I’m personally hoping that they’ll revisit Chromehounds, especially after seeing how well Armored Core 6 was received. Seeing them take the newest generation of talent and work on a classic like this could be revolutionary. Plus, there aren’t enough good mech games on the market, so they could easily corner it for themselves.
