FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki on the company's newest release — and what he's excited for next.
was undoubtedly 2022’s Game of the Year, winning numerous awards across different shows and publications. With its dark fantasy atmosphere, punishing combat, and challenging difficulty, players keep coming back for more. It was also developer FromSoftware’s first open-world game, so it needed to have more content than any game that the studio had made before.
“We just happened to release it into the market at the right time,” Miyazaki explained. “So as happy as it makes us, I think it’s also very humbling to know that there has been a lot of credit given to us for naming a genre.” “Yes, I do play other so-called ‘Soulslike’ games,” Miyazaki admits. “But not so much as a consumer but as research, so to speak.” He explains that due to him working with similar gameplay concepts, themes, and gameplay restraints, it’s always interesting to see different interpretations other studios or game designers put on the subgenre that FromSoftware perhaps haven’t thought of.
