FromSoftware's Miyazaki Teases Possible Traditional JRPG

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the acclaimed director of Elden Ring, recently expressed interest in developing a traditional Japanese RPG that won't be tied to FromSoftware's historical titles like King's Field or Enchanted Arms. While Miyazaki considers these games too linked to their original creators, he remains open to revitalizing the Armored Core series given his past involvement. Meanwhile, FromSoftware is rolling out significant DLC for Elden Ring, titled Shadow of the Erdtree. Miyazaki hinted that while Elden Ring closely embodies his vision of an ideal fantasy RPG, there is still room for exploration.

Fans can anticipate an extension of the intricate world-building and challenging gameplay that made Elden Ring a hit. The DLC promises new areas to explore, enhanced co-op elements, and expanded lore that delves deeper into the existing Elden Ring universe.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and co-created by George R.R. Martin, has received critical acclaim for its open-world design, deep lore, and challenging combat mechanics. Its expansive universe and player choice have set new benchmarks for the action RPG genre. Shadow of the Erdtree is expected to build on this solid foundation, offering new content that further enriches the game's narrative and gameplay experience.
