With the release of Elden Ring\u2019s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC fast approaching, fans wonder what\u2019s next for FromSoftware. Shadow of the Erdtree is expected to be the only expansion for the game, so players will soon be saying goodbye to the Lands Between. Naturally, there\u2019s a lot of speculation about what FromSoftware\u2019s next project is. Could it be Dark Souls 4, Bloodborne 2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Thrice? It could be something entirely new, separate from all of the previous franchises, expanding on what has already been created. Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki has hinted at what his next project will be. In a June 15 interview with PC Gamer, he discussed his future plans and how Elden Ring is the stepping stone to something bigger. \u201cBack when doing interviews about Elden Ring, I think I mentioned that I\u2019m still in the process of making my ideal fantasy RPG,\u201d Miyazaki said, \u201cAnd while Elden Ring is not quite it, it\u2019s pretty close. It\u2019s getting close. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say without giving spoilers for my next idea or our next games. But I think one thing that\u2019s not necessarily missing, but makes it difficult to achieve my ideal, is that when I play it, I know everything\u2019s going to happen. \u201cI already know everything that\u2019s going on. So in terms of enjoying the game from a player\u2019s perspective, I\u2019d love to not know that, and for somebody else to make my ideal fantasy game, please, if possible. Then I can enjoy it just as a player.\u201d Miyazaki\u2019s statement confirms that FromSoftware is working on another fantasy RPG, but the studio is big enough to accommodate multiple games, so Armored Core fans shouldn\u2019t be too disheartened by his statement. Whether the new game is Elden Ring 2, Dark Souls 4, or something entirely new, it\u2019s exciting to think that a game as massive and impressive as Elden Ring still doesn\u2019t fit Miyazaki\u2019s vision of an ideal RPG. Once Shadow of the Erdtree is out of the way, then the long wait for FromSoftware\u2019s next opus will begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring director is still working on his \u201cideal fantasy RPG\u201d FromSoftwareThe director of Elden Ring created one of the most beloved fantasy games ever, but says he\u2019s still working on his ideal RPG, and it could be his next project.
