Summary

  • During a recent interview, FromSoftware director Hidetaka Miyazaki has re-affirmed the company’s commitment to developing single-player games, despite the recent announcement of two multiplayer games, Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods.
  • Miyazaki emphasized that FromSoftware is not shifting towards a more multiplayer-focused direction, and that single-player titles, such as the recently announced Elden Ring for Steam Deck, will continue to be developed.
  • The Duskbloods, a game featuring vampires, is reportedly not intended for PCs, according to Miyazaki.
  • FromSoftware’s multiplayer titles have found success when the multiplayer element is a smaller, more intimate part of the game, rather than the primary focus.
  • The director acknowledges that PvPvE (player versus environment) structures allow for a broad range of game design ideas while leveraging the company’s experience in designing challenging enemy encounters.
