New FromSoftware game in final stages, more Elden Ring updates coming

FromSoftware is very busy. Just a few months after delivering Elden Ring, the game director behind it, Hidetaka Miyazaki, says his company’s next project is already in the final stages of development, according to a new interview with Japanese-language publication 4Gamer.

FromSoftware may be developing the next game in their Armored Core series. The leak was based upon a significant and credible-looking leak that occurred back in January. Miyazaki had hinted for years at the revival of mech-action. Verdict Day: Armored core,This is the latest entry, which was released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Miyazaki stated that there was more Elden Ring updates are planned, but it’s unclear whether he means additional content — FromSoftware has not announced any sort of expansion yet — or balance changes and fixes for its open-world RPG. The developer’s Dark Souls series and BloodborneThe expansions saw significant content updates after release. A more recent title is, however. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, received a much smaller update — in 2020, FromSoftware updated its samurai-action game with a boss rush mode, new costumes, and brief recordings of gameplay called Remnants.

But Miyazaki isn’t the only one sitting in the director’s chair at FromSoftware; he says multiple games are in development lead by other staffers. Miyazaki claims that the developer is expanding (and increasing its salaries) and is looking for talent, just like other game developers.
