Miyazaki directing what he called a "hobby" project/game with the backing of FromSoft featuring "ideas & images that wouldn't fit in [Elden Ring/DarkSouls] format" is something I am incredibly interested in... Can't imagine what kind of wild shit he has going on in his head outside of Dark/High Fantasy
dude, SotE is truly overshadowing everything else... to the point where other games schedule their release dates to not be in competition with it. Next thing for FromSoft... vacation, no doubt.

@@Pit_1209 Miyazaki has always mentioned that he likes to make a game and then move on. The only reason we got Ds2 and Ds3 is because he and Fromsoft were contracted to as that's what Bandai wanted. I can guarantee you that Ds2 and Ds3 most likely wouldn't have been a thing. I suppose that while it's well known that Miyazaki was tired of the souls series by Ds3 ultimately Elden Ring wouldn't be like it is without the full souls series. Still though the man and his team deserve a nice vacation.
A serial killer souls game. You can pick a style, method and era of time. I'm guessing the police, government executive agencies like the FBI/CIA and citizens will be the enemy. Leaving/destroying evidence, witnesses and physical clues will be a factor. You can invade another persons world as a cop/detective or as another serial killer or more than likely it will be a football or baseball souls game
Sounds imo like a plan to be much less story-based and more exploration-based. About abstraction, I think it refers to the overall structure of the game. Elden Ring's story is abstract, but the gameplay is rather concrete. I'm seeing a game more akin to Journey, potentially with combat and puzzles

Very excited to see more games by Masaru Yamamura. He is one of the people who designed Bloodborne fast-paced combat (they even have an NPC in Bloodborne DLC named after him), DS3 weapon skills, Sekiro posture-parry mechanic and the director and lead gameplay designer of Armored Core 6. The guy is a legend already at such an age and the reason he isn't called as one is because he is being overshadowed by Miyazaki. But with him taking the rein as one of the directors I expect a lot from him in the future.
The only problem I can see with that is the fact we have no idea how well Yamamura would do as a general director. I am keen to see it, but part of what makes Fromsoft games great is the lore and worldbuilding. I feel like he would do better as co-director.

I hope they make a game that is basically Sekiro but for magic. Refining it to perfection. The magic system has basically been stagnant since Demon‘s Souls.
Elden Ring was my first fromsoft game, they have impressed me so much I immediately pre ordered the DLC. They have earned a lot of good faith with me, unlike other game developers which are going rapidly in the other direction.
Same here. ER quickly leaped up my list of best games of all time and now proudly sits at the top. It's one of the those things that is so good, I can't believe it exists

@@stevemichael652 this is such a weird take. Why would they care about the back catalog when dlc is coming out for the game they actually played lmaoooo
The complete lack of any leaks in recent months has been an absolute bliss, because I believe that it’s the first time in a while that we’ve been this much in the dark about what FromSoft is going to do next. With that in mind, I think the only thing that I have any confidence in saying we’ll see more of in the future, at least in terms of IP, is Armored Core. Apart from the fact that it has been the most successful entry in the series yet, Miyazaki himself has stated that there is a “a strong will to continue it in the future” and that he personally deemed it a success. Obviously they haven’t really said anything concrete, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we did see more AC in the future. Completely agree on the Sekiro, if not a sequel, I’d love to see something follow in its footsteps in terms of action and refinement. As to what new stuff they could make, it’s completely up in the air, but if you put a gun to my head and ask me for a specific “dream girl” per say, my answer is simple, Mecha Fantasy. Be it Armored Souls or Dark Core or whatever you wanna call it, I want a full on Souls game with a mecha element to it, and the thing is, I believe Miyazaki kind of wants that as well. Back in the days of DS3, Miyazaki went on an interview saying that he would love to make a game that evoked the same feelings as Aura Battler Dunbine and Visions of Escaflowne, and if you know anything about those 2 shows, you know where this is going. Hell, he even name drops Frame Gride, an old FromSoft Dreamcast game that was basically Medieval Armored Core with a focus on Arena Combat. Mind you, this is an old interview, but given how AC rose from the grave, I doubt it still isn’t a glint in Miyazaki’s eye at least. Edit: I meant “dream game” lol
The Next gen capabilities and the ssd technology would allow fromsoft to experiment with a fantasy mecha game if not an open world mecha game too. Also it’s ridiculous how many fantasy books and shows Miyazaki is inspired by. Vision of escaflowne inspired game from him would be cool tho
I remember hearing about how FS was collaborating with some hot shot author that makes magical universes. So we could get something like Harry Potter but with a fromsoft edge and twist too if
@@Melontheyoutuberwho told you this? This game sold 2.8 million according to a report made October LAST YEAR, its first-month sales is better than Ds3 ffs(Bamco also said that the sales surpassed their expectation, at least make some research before spreading misinformation pls)
I really hope we have a Kuon-style game on the horizon. I absolutely adore FromSoft's attempts at survival horror, and a modern spiritual successor to Kuon would be incredible.
Miyazaki is too good for this industry. Literal genius, great director, great leader and very humble. Bro even if you make rock paper scissors game, people will buy it.
In another recent interview Miyazaki said they’re far from done with Armored Core. And there’s that rumored magic battle game. I wouldn’t rule out an eventual sequel to Sekiro either
Sekiro 2... or a new game like that where customization is less, but gameplay is focused to a razor's edge. And give me a more fully realized story…beyond Bloodborne and Sekiro. Give me a story like Witcher 3. The characters are believable. They talk about things that everyone can relate to..because they talk like real people.
I really hope they will make a horror game like Ku-On again someday. All their games already have quite a lot of horror elements (you could even say that Bloodborne is action horror RPG) and I'd love to see that in some slower paced game.
There will probably be some dark souls spin-off or a new IP directed entirely by Yui Tanimura. Man's been cooking with DS2(development of DS2 was troublesome) and co-directed DS3 and Elden Ring. I'd bet money Miyazaki would allow him to develop his own game
It’s kind of weird but also really exciting to imagine a fromsoftware game without Miyazaki. Im curious to see where they are going to go Edit: before another person replies dark souls2 go actually watch the video
The response to SOTE was insane. It’s been years since I saw so many people not just willing, but desperate, to give a game developer $40 for a dlc. That, along with how different Armored Core was from their other contemporary titles, gives me so much hope for their future games. They’ve carved out a niche where they’re allowed and capable of actually innovating, but with a AAA budget behind whatever they do.
people keep focusing on miyazaki, but what we should pay attention to is the other directors that we'll be seeing coming up, fromsoft has been carefully cultivating their talent for the last decade and we're about to see the fruit in bears.
@@KingOfMalevolence Yes and no. Masaru Yamamura was the lead gameplay director of Sekiro, which means the moment to moment gameplay of Sekiro was his doing not Miyazaki. As for AC6, Miyazaki only oversaw the very initial concept phase of development. The amount of input he had on AC6 was probably comparable to his input on DS2.
@@elk3407for Sekiro, Miyazaki is still responsible for the gameplay's orientation. He directs or supervises every bit of his games, and Sekiro was no exception.
Gaming is a never ending cycle. Soon enough there will be a new trailer for a game that will consume your every waking moment. It's both a blessing and a curse. lol
Here in the Souls community, we like to think Miyazaki is a god whose wisdom and power knows no bounds. But it's good to be reminded sometimes that he's just a human and has limits. And he himself admits that. It's great that he wants to give the other directors freedom to work on their own projects. A lot of creators, when trusted so fully by so many people, get lost in their own ego and start to act all high and mighty. It speaks volumes of Miyazaki's character that he has remained so humble even after so many successes. The industry needs more people like him.
The way I see it, Shadow of the Erdtree is kind of like the Souls series' equivalent to Armored Core: Last Raven. In other words, a denouement or swansong of sorts to that formula or style of game. If SotE is as good as we all think and know it's gonna be, then realistically, there's really nowhere to go from there. It's why Last Raven was the last (no pun intended) of its kind; it was the finale to a saga of games that Fromsoftware had spent 8 years and 10 games tuning, chiseling, and perfecting to be as good as it can be, and it's also why Fromsoftware subsequently redirected their efforts with the advent of Armored Core 4 and For Answer. If SotE is truly Souls' Last Raven analog, why continue to milk the Souls formula when it (more than likely) has already become the best it could possibly be? Give us more Bloodborne-likes or Sekiro-likes, or return to the gameplay formula of Fromsoft's other IPs. I'd love to see what non-Souls games Miyazaki is cooking (I know Deracine exists, I don't own a VR headset), or what the other talent at Fromsoft is capable of doing. Hell, Armored Core VI showed us how promising someone like Masaru Yamamura is in the role of director. I've no doubt Fromsoft has other young talents just as creative and skilled as he is.
I personally am super excited to see more directors. Knowing that AC6 had a different primarily director just adds to the hype, cause that game is sick
Always wanted a FromSoftware RPG set in the mythological Egyptian underworld. Not sure if there’s really an audience for that but then again anything FromSoftware releases would do well.
It is crucial for miyazaki to let go of the reins for at least some fromsoft games, or they risk becoming stale. Elden ring is probably the peak of the soulslike genre, due to its scale and grandeur. That means the genre now needs either a shakeup, or from needs to step away from soulslikes for a while. I for one would LOVE a horror game directed by miyazaki.
More abstract? Now that’s what I wanna hear as really that’s what I love most about his directed titles. Personally ive always wanted a Miyazaki horror game.
I'm kinda of disappointed that Miyazaki won't be the artistic vision for new fromsoft games. His direction made games that have been very important for me, and i hope he continues to direct some things.
Thing is, he won´t be directing forever, and to see a creative head/Studio CEO like him to have the will to give new leads the creative freedom to direct a game, speaks volumes to how much he loves this medium.... He ain´t going away for a while, but keep an open mind for others.
Ehhhh I’m not sure I agree with the premise that From has a fully formed game they’re ready to talk about and show but that pesky most successful game in company history is taking up all the bandwidth. The other team just shipped Armored Core. From isn’t about to start talking about their next game for some time. This DLC is the thing on the docket for that reason. It’s not overshadowing, it’s the light.
I really hope this means we can get more Armored core in the future, with 4th gen movement possibly making a comeback or a brand new FromSoftware Gundam game similar to Gundam UC for the ps3. Whatever FromSoftware may be cooking in the future, I’m going to buy it regardless.
I’d like to see a full, monumental remake of Dark Souls 1. A remake that fully realizes all the ideas they weren’t able to finish. As well as updating the game play.
What comes next? Miyazaki recently was talking about the next Armored Core, so probably that. Fromsoft is swimming in money, they can make anything they want… except for Bloodborne 2.
Honestly, I'd love to see what Tanimura and Yamamura will cook for us in the future, these two are also great visionaries and can help FromSoft branch out a little while staying in familiar territory edit: grammar
I really hope someone takes up classic souls style games and iterates on them. Miyazaki is a god with world design, but he never really took interesting aspects of the games and continued to develop them (eg DS1 style world design). It would be really cool to have someone advance the unique gameplay elements more.
A lot of fans will complain about this and not give these new games a chance but just look over at Bethesda if you wanna see what the opposite approach looks like. Todd Howard has suffocated that company by not giving up control. Rockstart has largely promoted from within and allowed junior leads to become senior leads and to throw greater weight around. This is the correct choice to make sure that FromSoftware continues to push itself forward.
Miasaki doing something "more out there"... What the hell is that going to look like!!? Well... Whatever it is I just pray that I can keep my excitement in check when the day comes close.
PRAYING TO GOD FOR A SEKIRO 2/ ANOTHER SEKIRO STYLE GAME WITH PVP THIS TIME. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY FUMBLED WHAT COULD'VE BEEN THE BEST PVP IN ANY SOULS GAME EVER.
I’m a bit confused on part of the interview. When Miyazaki mention they plan on still working on Elden ring was that before or after the dlc was announced. I was under the impression that shadow of the erdtree was THE last content planned for Elden ring.
Honestly, even though I’m not a fan of Bloodborne, it makes sense to do a sequel. And if they don’t do that then they’re definitely gonna just do an Elden Ring trilogy.
If they end up making Elden Ring 2 or another open world game, I’d love for them to expand the mechanics. Elden Ring is just “Dark Souls, but bigger.” Outside of the horse and crafting, the player isn’t really doing anything they haven’t been doing since Demon Souls. At the bare minimum, I think an Elden Ring 2 needs more traversal options. Even Scarlet and Violet let you glide and climb walls. Personally, I’d love Fromsoft to include swimming controls and maybe underwater combat. They teased us with the unmitigated terror of the deep sea in Bloodborne and DS III; it’s time they fully deliver on it.
ER was literally advertised as ‘the evolution to dark souls’ so I’m not sure why that’s a big surpised. It literally expanded/refined on every single system that Dark Souls 3 had iterated on, and that was the point
This is exciting. I'm sure there will be a lackluster From Soft entry here and there, but I'm alright with that. Frankly I'm hoping Miyazaki gets to make an Escaflowne type game like he talked about in the past.
Miyazaki said in an interview 3 weeks ago that he wants to work in a new AC title. There's an article about it on fandomwire called “We have a strong will to continue it in the future...”
There's also an old interview from 2016 where Miyazaki talks about wanting to make a fantasy mecha game, something inspired by Escaflowne or Dunbine, which would be a spiritual successor to Frame Gride.
I think it's great that Miyazaki is allowing those that work under him to also rise to the task of being Director. That being said, I would be happy with an Armored Core 6 expansion/6.5 or maybe a Bloodborne 2? Of course, their original works have been homeruns with Sekiro, Elden Ring & Bloodborne so if they have new journeys for us, I'd be more than excited to see where they take us next.
The one From game I want a direct sequel too is Sekiro. The dragon's return ending tees off such an interesting premise for a journey and a game and it would be cool to see how it pans out.
I think Armored Core 6 dlc will first be announced and then potentially whatever new IP they're working on next. Also Miyazaki mentioning wanting to work on a more abstract fantasy game reminds me of his work on Deracine. I kind of wonder if Miyazaki thinks that the souls formula is at a place he's satisfied with and now he's at the phase where he lets other people direct games so he can work on more passion projects.
I love that him saying that if he and Fumito Ueda would ever work together, he would leave him as director, implying that Michael Zaki would give Ueda whatever resources he needs to fulfil his vision. That is awesome.
My concern is that there is going to be different titles, some of them are not going to have the seriousness that this last titles have had, In the past decade From has been created this serious games. But all developers are not good to create this and that’s ok, and I hope they give the rains to other people, I just hope people do now just jump and criticize the heck out of this titles cos Miyazaki didn’t do it. I know that’s going to happen but I hope people will be better and have objective opinions.
I think Elden Ring 2 will come out some day but almost certainly not in this decade, probably the early to mid 2030's (Which is insane just to think about). I see Fromsoftware also developing a new Armored Core game.
When Miyazaki said "we hope to show you a new color of Fromsoftware" surely he meant that a Bloodborne remake is in the works - give Yharnam a new color
You know... I do not think it weird to be a bit scared that things from another director then Miasaki are possibly a downgrade in many aspects. But then I remember how Miasaki started and how he was just kind of given a chance to prove himself. If he can find "other people like him" then that might revolutionize the entire playing field. Imagine if we even had 1 more "Miasaki" how that would expend the scope of games they can produce. I think they already have some good directors aside from him to be clear but this future they talk about, it is either going to be a disaster or a new age of gaming/story heaven we find ourselves in. And I do not know about you guys but I believe Fromsoft is not the type to disappoint whatever they end up doing.
I would love a new IP horror game. I think if you have veteran in-house devs from the Soulsborne series, then they could make maybe one of the scariest games of all time. Shit scares me from those games and I'm playing the game as a killing machine. Imagine them doubling down on the horror from Soulsborne but then you can't fight back.
A part of me wishes myazaki and "souls" proper take a long vacation, or even step back altogether, and fromsoftware puts some young blood to work, the way they did with AC6. The worst thing that could happen would be the ds formula and myazaki's ideas and themes becoming overplayed and going on too long for their own good. There's only so many iterations of them myazaki can make before inevitably they begin to lose their starkness and starting to blend into another. I'd rather take the five IPs myazaki has put out as possibly the best fucking run in videogame history rather than him being forced to churn them out endlessly until their identity becomes diluted and played out to exhaustion. Better to bring up new talent, let them make their own ideas and diversify what from does now, instead of draining the well they're relying on dry
I think the names to look out for in the coming games without Miyazaki are definitely Yui Tanimura and Masaru Yamamura. Tanimura is largely credited with saving Dark Souls 2 from development hell, and has been co-director under Miyazaki for both Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. Yamamura was promoted from lead designer for Sekiro to become the director for Armored Core 6. These guys have extremely impressive games with their names on them and I think giving them full creative control would lead to some insane stuff from fromsoft
I have been a ps fan since the ps2 era an although it was great having such an awesome exclusive for the ps4 in Bloodborne nowadays I kinda wish it would have been a Bandai Namco game instead of Sony because the chances of a sequel would be higher! I love the dark fantasy genre with DS trilogy & Elden Ring but with the upcoming dlc most likely going to be a sizable chunk of content added to overall ER experience I would really love to see Fromsoft go back to the world of BB! BB is still my favorite Fromsoft title though shadow of the Erdtree might change that! Other then BB the other game I’d love to see even more then a new standalone game would be Sekiro 2! The first is a incredible game also deserving of a sequel!

Apart from the fact that it has been the most successful entry in the series yet, Miyazaki himself has stated that there is a “a strong will to continue it in the future” and that he personally deemed it a success. Obviously they haven’t really said anything concrete, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we did see more AC in the future.
Completely agree on the Sekiro, if not a sequel, I’d love to see something follow in its footsteps in terms of action and refinement.
As to what new stuff they could make, it’s completely up in the air, but if you put a gun to my head and ask me for a specific “dream girl” per say, my answer is simple, Mecha Fantasy. Be it Armored Souls or Dark Core or whatever you wanna call it, I want a full on Souls game with a mecha element to it, and the thing is, I believe Miyazaki kind of wants that as well.
Back in the days of DS3, Miyazaki went on an interview saying that he would love to make a game that evoked the same feelings as Aura Battler Dunbine and Visions of Escaflowne, and if you know anything about those 2 shows, you know where this is going. Hell, he even name drops Frame Gride, an old FromSoft Dreamcast game that was basically Medieval Armored Core with a focus on Arena Combat. Mind you, this is an old interview, but given how AC rose from the grave, I doubt it still isn’t a glint in Miyazaki’s eye at least.
Edit: I meant “dream game” lol
There was a leak about them making a soul like Harry Potter game. Don't know if that true.
@@kg888 from my understanding those Spellbound leaks winded up being a hoax, as TH-camrs like Ziostorm investigated the whole thing pretty thoroughly.
The Next gen capabilities and the ssd technology would allow fromsoft to experiment with a fantasy mecha game if not an open world mecha game too. Also it’s ridiculous how many fantasy books and shows Miyazaki is inspired by. Vision of escaflowne inspired game from him would be cool tho
I remember hearing about how FS was collaborating with some hot shot author that makes magical universes. So we could get something like Harry Potter but with a fromsoft edge and twist too if
i hope the next game is another Armored Core, i only played soulsborne but AC6 was fucking epic and really flexed FromSoft's range. It hooked me!
Don't worry about it, either 6.5 or AC7 will happen!
@@laserduck6149 AC6 dlc is very likely given how well it was received.
Problem is the game didn’t sell very well. It will probably be quite some time before another title.
@@Melontheyoutuberwho told you this? This game sold 2.8 million according to a report made October LAST YEAR, its first-month sales is better than Ds3 ffs(Bamco also said that the sales surpassed their expectation, at least make some research before spreading misinformation pls)
@@Melontheyoutuber what are you on? It sold extremely well on Armored Core standards and pretty well still on general standards
Miyazaki has high hopes for us: that we continue to struggle unto eternity.
I really hope we have a Kuon-style game on the horizon. I absolutely adore FromSoft's attempts at survival horror, and a modern spiritual successor to Kuon would be incredible.
Miyazaki is too good for this industry. Literal genius, great director, great leader and very humble. Bro even if you make rock paper scissors game, people will buy it.
You mean people would accept that but complain about the rest of the shovelware games just like that?
In another recent interview Miyazaki said they’re far from done with Armored Core. And there’s that rumored magic battle game. I wouldn’t rule out an eventual sequel to Sekiro either
Sekiro 2... or a new game like that where customization is less, but gameplay is focused to a razor's edge. And give me a more fully realized story…beyond Bloodborne and Sekiro. Give me a story like Witcher 3. The characters are believable. They talk about things that everyone can relate to..because they talk like real people.
Bloodborne was the perfect in-between of having just enough customization but still having amazing more focused gameplay imo.
@@Foogi9000sekiro had better gameplay.
@@GregoThe3rd In your subjective opinion but i still preferred Bloodborne.
How about the best of both
@@GregoThe3rdit’s alright to be wrong
I just want another Tenchu game from them I don't care if it's a remake a remaster or an entirely new Tenchu game, I miss those games dearly..
Sekiro is the new Tenchu, at least to From themselves.
I really hope they will make a horror game like Ku-On again someday. All their games already have quite a lot of horror elements (you could even say that Bloodborne is action horror RPG) and I'd love to see that in some slower paced game.
Bloodborne and Elden Ring are peak cosmic horror. I do want to see how they would handle psychological horror.
Or Echo Night. They are good at horrors.
There will probably be some dark souls spin-off or a new IP directed entirely by Yui Tanimura. Man's been cooking with DS2(development of DS2 was troublesome) and co-directed DS3 and Elden Ring. I'd bet money Miyazaki would allow him to develop his own game
DARK SOULS 4 YOOOO
Joker aside, I could see a new IP coming from him.
I'd love to see a pirate themed game from them
Wowww, yes
I like how this idea is popular for some reason
It's the cannon shield. Imagine parrying a cannon ball!
This could be a spiritual Bloodborne 2 without calling it that.
Make it its own thing, but do cosmic horror on the high seas
God imagine fighting leviathan level bosses while on the open season! Bloodborne but in the ocean
They will finally answer Todds incessant calls and take over the Elder Scrolls ip
I would literally squeal with joy if that happened lmao
It’s kind of weird but also really exciting to imagine a fromsoftware game without Miyazaki. Im curious to see where they are going to go
Edit: before another person replies dark souls2 go actually watch the video
I think DS2 its what you're looking for unless you mean a completely new IP
Armored core
ds2 without dlc is the result.
There's been several without him. Sekiro and Armored Core.
Dark souls 2, armored core 6
Cookies and Cream: Scholar of the first sin
Excited to be excited like childlike wonder
They better give Armored Core6 some love and then move on to whatever they want after that.
The response to SOTE was insane. It’s been years since I saw so many people not just willing, but desperate, to give a game developer $40 for a dlc. That, along with how different Armored Core was from their other contemporary titles, gives me so much hope for their future games. They’ve carved out a niche where they’re allowed and capable of actually innovating, but with a AAA budget behind whatever they do.
New Kings Field iteration, with perhaps a Mordhau/Chivalry-Lite combat system for melee, would be very cool
I want dismemberment mechanics. Shadow Tower Abyss had that and if applied to KF it'd be amazing.
DODGE THIS YOU BAAAAAASTAAAAAAARD
people keep focusing on miyazaki, but what we should pay attention to is the other directors that we'll be seeing coming up, fromsoft has been carefully cultivating their talent for the last decade and we're about to see the fruit in bears.
I feel like Miyazaki is what makes Fromsoft what it is today and not having him as director is going to be felt.
100%
I disagree. Masaru Yamamura is doing great things with Sekiro and AC6
@@elk3407 Sekiro was directed by Miyazaki and AC6 was initially directed by him too.
@@KingOfMalevolence Yes and no. Masaru Yamamura was the lead gameplay director of Sekiro, which means the moment to moment gameplay of Sekiro was his doing not Miyazaki. As for AC6, Miyazaki only oversaw the very initial concept phase of development. The amount of input he had on AC6 was probably comparable to his input on DS2.
@@elk3407for Sekiro, Miyazaki is still responsible for the gameplay's orientation. He directs or supervises every bit of his games, and Sekiro was no exception.
I don’t know about FromSoft, but after Shadow of the Erdtree, I’ll be able to move on with my own life
This DLC has been all i can think about for the past two years
I’m still waiting for mh wilds for that to happen for me
Gaming is a never ending cycle. Soon enough there will be a new trailer for a game that will consume your every waking moment. It's both a blessing and a curse. lol
Here in the Souls community, we like to think Miyazaki is a god whose wisdom and power knows no bounds. But it's good to be reminded sometimes that he's just a human and has limits. And he himself admits that.
It's great that he wants to give the other directors freedom to work on their own projects. A lot of creators, when trusted so fully by so many people, get lost in their own ego and start to act all high and mighty. It speaks volumes of Miyazaki's character that he has remained so humble even after so many successes. The industry needs more people like him.
The way I see it, Shadow of the Erdtree is kind of like the Souls series' equivalent to Armored Core: Last Raven. In other words, a denouement or swansong of sorts to that formula or style of game. If SotE is as good as we all think and know it's gonna be, then realistically, there's really nowhere to go from there. It's why Last Raven was the last (no pun intended) of its kind; it was the finale to a saga of games that Fromsoftware had spent 8 years and 10 games tuning, chiseling, and perfecting to be as good as it can be, and it's also why Fromsoftware subsequently redirected their efforts with the advent of Armored Core 4 and For Answer. If SotE is truly Souls' Last Raven analog, why continue to milk the Souls formula when it (more than likely) has already become the best it could possibly be? Give us more Bloodborne-likes or Sekiro-likes, or return to the gameplay formula of Fromsoft's other IPs. I'd love to see what non-Souls games Miyazaki is cooking (I know Deracine exists, I don't own a VR headset), or what the other talent at Fromsoft is capable of doing. Hell, Armored Core VI showed us how promising someone like Masaru Yamamura is in the role of director. I've no doubt Fromsoft has other young talents just as creative and skilled as he is.
I personally am super excited to see more directors. Knowing that AC6 had a different primarily director just adds to the hype, cause that game is sick
Can't wait to see Miyazaki's idea of "too weird to make a profit"
Always wanted a FromSoftware RPG set in the mythological Egyptian underworld. Not sure if there’s really an audience for that but then again anything FromSoftware releases would do well.
It is crucial for miyazaki to let go of the reins for at least some fromsoft games, or they risk becoming stale.
Elden ring is probably the peak of the soulslike genre, due to its scale and grandeur. That means the genre now needs either a shakeup, or from needs to step away from soulslikes for a while.
I for one would LOVE a horror game directed by miyazaki.
More abstract? Now that’s what I wanna hear as really that’s what I love most about his directed titles. Personally ive always wanted a Miyazaki horror game.
There is the cosmere universe from Brandon Sanderson that was rumored
I'm kinda of disappointed that Miyazaki won't be the artistic vision for new fromsoft games. His direction made games that have been very important for me, and i hope he continues to direct some things.
Thing is, he won´t be directing forever, and to see a creative head/Studio CEO like him to have the will to give new leads the creative freedom to direct a game, speaks volumes to how much he loves this medium....
He ain´t going away for a while, but keep an open mind for others.
Ehhhh I’m not sure I agree with the premise that From has a fully formed game they’re ready to talk about and show but that pesky most successful game in company history is taking up all the bandwidth.
The other team just shipped Armored Core. From isn’t about to start talking about their next game for some time. This DLC is the thing on the docket for that reason. It’s not overshadowing, it’s the light.
Their next game will be Armored Field: King's Core (we have no idea)
I really hope this means we can get more Armored core in the future, with 4th gen movement possibly making a comeback or a brand new FromSoftware Gundam game similar to Gundam UC for the ps3. Whatever FromSoftware may be cooking in the future, I’m going to buy it regardless.
I’d like to see a full, monumental remake of Dark Souls 1. A remake that fully realizes all the ideas they weren’t able to finish. As well as updating the game play.
Ever since Sekiro and Elden Ring, the notion of Dark Souls with jumping has plagued my mind
What comes next? Miyazaki recently was talking about the next Armored Core, so probably that. Fromsoft is swimming in money, they can make anything they want… except for Bloodborne 2.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Ibis
Honestly, I'd love to see what Tanimura and Yamamura will cook for us in the future, these two are also great visionaries and can help FromSoft branch out a little while staying in familiar territory edit: grammar
Imagine a Godzilla game made by From Software
I really hope someone takes up classic souls style games and iterates on them. Miyazaki is a god with world design, but he never really took interesting aspects of the games and continued to develop them (eg DS1 style world design).
It would be really cool to have someone advance the unique gameplay elements more.
The thumbnail featuring DeSR makes me icky
A lot of fans will complain about this and not give these new games a chance but just look over at Bethesda if you wanna see what the opposite approach looks like. Todd Howard has suffocated that company by not giving up control. Rockstart has largely promoted from within and allowed junior leads to become senior leads and to throw greater weight around. This is the correct choice to make sure that FromSoftware continues to push itself forward.
I agree, I want more Sekiro style games, but also an old(ish) school survival horror like Kuon.
Miasaki doing something "more out there"... What the hell is that going to look like!!? Well... Whatever it is I just pray that I can keep my excitement in check when the day comes close.
More abstract than Elden Ring sounds batshit, I’m in
I dont know what "more abstract than Elden Ring" means but Vatti just unlocked hard mode for his lore speculation videos.
No doubt this time. Bloodborne 2
My clown makeup is ready.
PRAYING TO GOD FOR A SEKIRO 2/ ANOTHER SEKIRO STYLE GAME WITH PVP THIS TIME. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY FUMBLED WHAT COULD'VE BEEN THE BEST PVP IN ANY SOULS GAME EVER.
Shadowing my Erdtree to this rn
I’m a bit confused on part of the interview. When Miyazaki mention they plan on still working on Elden ring was that before or after the dlc was announced. I was under the impression that shadow of the erdtree was THE last content planned for Elden ring.
Armoured Core VI DLC? I hope...
My dream is a Star Wars game but with dark souls mechanics. A better version of fallen survivor
Honestly, even though I’m not a fan of Bloodborne, it makes sense to do a sequel. And if they don’t do that then they’re definitely gonna just do an Elden Ring trilogy.
If they end up making Elden Ring 2 or another open world game, I’d love for them to expand the mechanics. Elden Ring is just “Dark Souls, but bigger.” Outside of the horse and crafting, the player isn’t really doing anything they haven’t been doing since Demon Souls.
At the bare minimum, I think an Elden Ring 2 needs more traversal options. Even Scarlet and Violet let you glide and climb walls. Personally, I’d love Fromsoft to include swimming controls and maybe underwater combat. They teased us with the unmitigated terror of the deep sea in Bloodborne and DS III; it’s time they fully deliver on it.
Honestly I just can't see them ever doing Elden Ring 2. It's just not what they do. I wouldn't even expect another open world from them again.
Don't think they will do Elden Ring 2. They don't like doing sequels.
ER was literally advertised as ‘the evolution to dark souls’ so I’m not sure why that’s a big surpised. It literally expanded/refined on every single system that Dark Souls 3 had iterated on, and that was the point
4:39
"Ahh, I knew you'd come. To stand before the Taunting Host. What an exciting state of----" S E V E R E D
lmao
imagine a roguelike fromsoftware game. Now that I am going to instantly buy
This is exciting. I'm sure there will be a lackluster From Soft entry here and there, but I'm alright with that. Frankly I'm hoping Miyazaki gets to make an Escaflowne type game like he talked about in the past.
Miyazaki said in an interview 3 weeks ago that he wants to work in a new AC title.
There's an article about it on fandomwire called “We have a strong will to continue it in the future...”
There's also an old interview from 2016 where Miyazaki talks about wanting to make a fantasy mecha game, something inspired by Escaflowne or Dunbine, which would be a spiritual successor to Frame Gride.
I think it's great that Miyazaki is allowing those that work under him to also rise to the task of being Director.
That being said, I would be happy with an Armored Core 6 expansion/6.5 or maybe a Bloodborne 2?
Of course, their original works have been homeruns with Sekiro, Elden Ring & Bloodborne so if they have new journeys for us, I'd be more than excited to see where they take us next.
I want Hasbro to Give them the Right to make a Transformers game. I would loving to see what that would look like
The one From game I want a direct sequel too is Sekiro. The dragon's return ending tees off such an interesting premise for a journey and a game and it would be cool to see how it pans out.
I think Armored Core 6 dlc will first be announced and then potentially whatever new IP they're working on next.
Also Miyazaki mentioning wanting to work on a more abstract fantasy game reminds me of his work on Deracine. I kind of wonder if Miyazaki thinks that the souls formula is at a place he's satisfied with and now he's at the phase where he lets other people direct games so he can work on more passion projects.
I want a new King's field game! A first person dungeon crawler from the modern From Software would be extremely cool to see.
Miyazaki only regrets Dark Souls 2 because he didn't direct it, and thus doesn't get full credit for creating a masterpiece.
lol
Based take
Holy based
This game is so great that I don't want to spoil it by playing it with my peasant dirty hands
@@shoesmuffins4455 Your truly based humility has earned you the right to witness the perfection of Dark Souls 2.
I love that him saying that if he and Fumito Ueda would ever work together, he would leave him as director, implying that Michael Zaki would give Ueda whatever resources he needs to fulfil his vision. That is awesome.
My concern is that there is going to be different titles, some of them are not going to have the seriousness that this last titles have had, In the past decade From has been created this serious games. But all developers are not good to create this and that’s ok, and I hope they give the rains to other people, I just hope people do now just jump and criticize the heck out of this titles cos Miyazaki didn’t do it. I know that’s going to happen but I hope people will be better and have objective opinions.
A new Kingsfield that was a randomised Rogue-lite souls would be cool. Like an expanded version of the Chalice Dungeons.
I think Elden Ring 2 will come out some day but almost certainly not in this decade, probably the early to mid 2030's (Which is insane just to think about). I see Fromsoftware also developing a new Armored Core game.
When Miyazaki said "we hope to show you a new color of Fromsoftware" surely he meant that a Bloodborne remake is in the works - give Yharnam a new color
You know... I do not think it weird to be a bit scared that things from another director then Miasaki are possibly a downgrade in many aspects. But then I remember how Miasaki started and how he was just kind of given a chance to prove himself. If he can find "other people like him" then that might revolutionize the entire playing field. Imagine if we even had 1 more "Miasaki" how that would expend the scope of games they can produce. I think they already have some good directors aside from him to be clear but this future they talk about, it is either going to be a disaster or a new age of gaming/story heaven we find ourselves in. And I do not know about you guys but I believe Fromsoft is not the type to disappoint whatever they end up doing.
Please. It's Miyazaki. I can forgive not knowing how to pronounce foreign words, but at least get the spelling right.
@@comradecatbug5289 Nah
I would love a new IP horror game. I think if you have veteran in-house devs from the Soulsborne series, then they could make maybe one of the scariest games of all time. Shit scares me from those games and I'm playing the game as a killing machine. Imagine them doubling down on the horror from Soulsborne but then you can't fight back.
A part of me wishes myazaki and "souls" proper take a long vacation, or even step back altogether, and fromsoftware puts some young blood to work, the way they did with AC6. The worst thing that could happen would be the ds formula and myazaki's ideas and themes becoming overplayed and going on too long for their own good. There's only so many iterations of them myazaki can make before inevitably they begin to lose their starkness and starting to blend into another. I'd rather take the five IPs myazaki has put out as possibly the best fucking run in videogame history rather than him being forced to churn them out endlessly until their identity becomes diluted and played out to exhaustion. Better to bring up new talent, let them make their own ideas and diversify what from does now, instead of draining the well they're relying on dry
but this is literally what's not happening.
I'm kind of worried about games without Miyazaki involved
My dream would be spiritual succesor to Bloodborne like Dark Souls was to Demon Souls.
I’d love to see fromsoft take on like a sci-fi setting, but I’ll pretty much buy anything they do at this point lol
Probably is a part 2 to Armored Core 6.
Miyazaki talking about the next project being more abstract in its fantasy ideas has my mouth watering. I can't wait to see it
4:36 okay but why did you disconnect from this guy he was chill af
Okay hear me out..
A fromsoftware survival horror game!
I think the names to look out for in the coming games without Miyazaki are definitely Yui Tanimura and Masaru Yamamura. Tanimura is largely credited with saving Dark Souls 2 from development hell, and has been co-director under Miyazaki for both Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. Yamamura was promoted from lead designer for Sekiro to become the director for Armored Core 6. These guys have extremely impressive games with their names on them and I think giving them full creative control would lead to some insane stuff from fromsoft
I just hope one of these ongoing projects is anything Bloodborne related
I hope that “spellbound” talk is actually something in the works, a Souls like focused on magic would just be…amazing.
Ninja blade 4. Lets gooooo.
is it just me or anyone else wondering why you left the invasion at 4:40?
For the love of GOD, Do a Bloodborne sequel and/or remaster! 🙂
Armored Core 6+1 Deadly Sins babyyy!!!!
I have been a ps fan since the ps2 era an although it was great having such an awesome exclusive for the ps4 in Bloodborne nowadays I kinda wish it would have been a Bandai Namco game instead of Sony because the chances of a sequel would be higher! I love the dark fantasy genre with DS trilogy & Elden Ring but with the upcoming dlc most likely going to be a sizable chunk of content added to overall ER experience I would really love to see Fromsoft go back to the world of BB! BB is still my favorite Fromsoft title though shadow of the Erdtree might change that! Other then BB the other game I’d love to see even more then a new standalone game would be Sekiro 2! The first is a incredible game also deserving of a sequel!
