FromSoftware Confirms Multiple Games/Genres Underway, None Are Elden Ring 2

Developer FromSoftware has struct many with the release of Elden Ring. Rectify Gaming scored the title 10/10 for our review of the game at the time. The title went on to be a recipient for Game of the Year at 2022’s The Game Awards. Additionally, expansion ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’ in 2024 has also been nominated for the same awards as well.

This comes at a surprise as the FromSoftware game also sweeps up the title held by The Last of Us Part II for being the most nominated release. Alongside accounting for over 20 million in sales, it is no question the success this release has brought. Enough so that even Sony Interactive Entertainment is eyeing the acquisition of Kadokawa – the parent company in possession of FromSoftware.

But in terms of the current standing for FromSoftware, what titles are the firm exactly planning to explore now? At least according to Hidetaka Miyazaki, FromSoftware is planning to explore multiple projects across several genres. In an interview with GameWatch, Miyazaki tells this is the plans ahead for the Japanese developer, thanks Gematsu.

“We have multiple projects in the works across a variety of genres. There are title(s) directed by me, as well as title(s) directed by those other than myself. In that regard, I think we’ll be able to show you a new FromSoftware in a variety of ways, so please look forward to it,” Miyazaki stated in the interview. He does, however, leave out what these titles might pertain to or the respected genres implied to be explored by FromSoftware.

Elsewhere when speaking to GameWatch, Miyazaki also goes on to confirm that Elden Ring 2 is not on the menu, in fact. This is according to a translation from TweakTown. “At this point, we are not thinking about development such as Elden Ring 2. However, this is not to deny the development of the Elden Ring IP.” He does not rule out the possibility, but he does confirm it is currently not in motion.
