Elden Ring is a title that has been central to many conversations in the video game industry. Virtually every faction in the community, from gamers and streamers to critics, loved the game’s first significant expansion.
However, despite the title being incredibly relevant, fans still think that there is another title from FromSoftware that is considered the studio’s best creation to date.
Despite the Recent Upsurge in the Popularity of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, Sekiro Is Still King
The latest FromSoftware game has been hailed as one of the best expansions for any video game; it was in the same league as Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty and Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansions.
Many players even expressed that the sheer amount of playable content added to the title by the expansion is extraordinary. But, despite all of the popularity and acclaim, it seems like people haven’t forgotten the studio’s magnum opus:

I can’t believe it took me so long to play this masterpiece of a game
I thought FromSoftware outdid themselves with Elden Ring BUT it turns out their Magnum Opus was Sekiro all along 😭 pic.twitter.com/IJDAdUKPiM
It seems like the individual in the post wasn’t the only one on Twitter who felt this way about the popular Soulsborne game:
Ya I waited a year after release and couldn't believe it. Ended up being my favorite From game. I've done the same thing with AC6 and still haven't picked it up…

Some others expressed their solidarity with the opinion in other creative ways, like memes:

Others also pointed out that the game was better in quality than Elden Ring:
It's actually insane how polished and amazing it is. ER is a great game, but it just can't reach that level of perfection that Sekiro holds imo. Quality > quantity a lot of the time

While gamers have every right to express their thoughts and opinions about these games, the artist also has a say about which of their works is the magnum opus.
Miyazaki-San Talks About His Magnum Opus, and the Answer Isn’t What You May Think
It is no secret that both titles are phenomenal, with an incredible following. While they are very different, they share the same DNA, making them enjoyable for Souls game fans.
However, it seems like even after the success of both of these titles and his studio as a whole, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s quest for his ideal fantasy RPG hasn’t ended yet.
The video game director said this to PC Gamer in an exclusive interview:
Back when doing interviews about Elden Ring…I mentioned that I’m still in the process of making my ideal fantasy RPG. And while Elden Ring is not quite it, it’s pretty close.
