FromSoftware owner acquires Octopath Traveler developer

FromSoftware has seen extensive success over the past decade, especially with the launch of 2022’s Elden Ring (whose expansion Shadow of the Erdtree launches this Summer). However, despite its launch in March 2015, Bloodborne remains a favorite among many fans. It’s also one of the few PlayStation 4 exclusives lacking a remake, remaster, port or PS5 upgrade.

As one of the best-reviewed games of all time and with more than 23 million copies shipped worldwide, Elden Ring has been an enormous success for developer FromSoftware, which means it’s only natural to assume that the studio isn’t going to be done with this IP anytime soon in the near future. However, according to FromSoftware boss and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki, currently, there are no plans in place for a second expansion following the June release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, nor for a full-fledged sequel.

After more than a decade of wowing the industry with its gene-defining Soulslike games, last year, FromSoftware brought the Armored Core franchise back with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. The mech action title received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike, but is the wait for the next game in the series going to be as long as it was for Armored Core 6? That much remains to be seen, but at the very least, the studio has every intention of making more games in the franchise.

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion will be FromSoftware's biggest DLC to date.

FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki has finally responded to fans' demands for a remake of Bloodborne, but there is a catch. As one of the highest-rated Soulsborne games of all time, Bloodborne enjoys a loyal fanbase, and players have been eagerly waiting to see more from the franchise for years.

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC got a new trailer and release date, which has brought director Hidetaka Miyazaki into the spotlight once again. He was interviewed by a number of different outlets recently, in which he revealed tidbits such as the general difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree, as well the likelihood of us getting an Elden Ring sequel any time soon.

According to Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki, developer FromSoftware is not planning a sequel at this time. The latest fantasy action game from the team that brought fans Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series was released in 2022 and became an instant hit. Elden Ring lived up to its predecessors in terms of its gameplay, its dark and mysterious story, and the level of difficulty that has become a signature of FromSoftware and Miyazaki.

FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has commented on the turbulent state of the video game industry with regards to layoffs, saying his current vision for the company is expansion.

FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki is "happy" so many people want a Bloodborne remake, but isn't ready to confirm one just yet.

Elden Ring DLC expansion Shadow of the Erdtree finally has a release date: 21st June.

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware finally revealed the first trailer for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Pre-orders are now live, and new details are available on the official website, including a blurb where the developer confirms this to be its “largest expansion to date.”

With the Elden Ring DLC trailer right around the corner, FromSoftware fans are reminding everyone that the developer has an astounding track record with expansions.
