Just days away from the highly anticipated release of Elden Ring’s expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, fans couldn’t be more excited. This content is the largest DLC the studio has worked on to date.
In anticipation of this release, Hidetaka Miyazaki gave a new interview in which he discussed various aspects related to the studio and its titles but also touched on other topics. For instance, the popular director and creator of Dark Souls revealed which game was his favorite in which he was involved. To the surprise of many, neither Sekiro nor his latest game were among his top choices.
Hidetaka Miyazaki Confirmed His Favorite Games He’s Worked On, and neither Elden Ring nor Sekiro Made the List
Die-hard fans of FromSoftware couldn’t be happier with the upcoming release of Shadow of the Erdtree, the ambitious expansion for Elden Ring. In just three days, players will be able to experience this content, which adds a new map to explore among other features. Taking advantage of this popular release, the game’s director has been giving several new interviews, and in a recent one, he discussed his favorite games.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the popular director of this new IP, listed his favorite games from the studio’s history in an interview. Naturally, Miyazaki said he loves all his games but has some preferences about which ones are his favorites. The director surprised many fans by saying that Bloodborne and Dark Souls are among those he values the most, at least the ones he was involved in.
Dark Souls and Bloodborne Are This Director’s Favorite Games
Miyazaki expanded on his response about his favorite games and said the following: “On a very personal level, I would say, first Dark Souls and Bloodborne left a very big impression on me.” By saying this, he was referring to a personal level, not to the company; these games represented something quite significant to him.
On a broader level, when discussing studio favorites, he naturally mentioned Elden Ring as a title that was in a completely different league compared to previous projects. He added the following: “As a company, Elden Ring put us in a completely different league, so that was a huge milestone for the company.” This director is known for being an avid gamer, and when he finds time to play, he makes the most of every second of the games he enjoys.
For now, after the official release of Shadow of the Erdtree, FromSoftware has not given any details about what the studio’s next project will be. Many players are hoping for a new installment of Dark Souls or at least a completely new IP that surprises them, but the studio remains quite secretive about this future game. Fans of this company are hoping it will once again surpass itself in terms of quality.
