In an attempt to create the “perfect game,” Elden Ring’s famed creator wants to build on the solid foundations of his previous games. Information that excites fans… Will FromSoftware even be able to push its boundaries even further?
Only the game developer remains dissatisfied
Hidetaka Miyazaki is a very special developer. Already because he comes from a background that has nothing to do with video games at all: from accounting. But also because it is the origin of excellent titles like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring. Despite the public acclaim this latest game received (GOTY 2022, press rating 96 on Metacritic, more than 23 million copies sold)says the director of FromSoftware that he has not yet realized his dream of creating a “perfect game”even if all available resources have been mobilized.
However, the developer admits to having found the silver bullet to achieve its goal, especially thanks to its previous games. The latter was expressed by Game Informer want to “sharpen the fighting philosophy”. present in Sekiro, Bloodborne and Elden Ring, in his next project.
