FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has made it clear that the studio will continue focusing on creativity instead of making “safe” sequels just to satisfy investors.
He believes that giving developers the freedom to create what they are passionate about is key to making truly valuable games.
“We are able to freely create the games we want to make without excessive interference,” Miyazaki said, adding that maintaining this environment is important for delivering “truly valuable games.”
Miyazaki wants future entries in series like Elden Ring or Bloodborne to happen because the team has strong ideas for them.
