Miyazaki Hidetaka was interviewed by the well-known United Kingdom media "The Guardian" a few days ago, during which Miyazaki Hidetaka said that the size of "Elden Ring" has reached the limit (FS Agency), and players do not need to expect FS Society to make a bigger or even larger game than "Elden Ring" in the future.
Hidetaka Miyazaki considers Elden Ring to be a "turning point" for FromSoftware: "There will be a clear difference between before and after Elden Ring...... I think you can see this in the 2023 mech game Armored Core 6. He hopes that soon we'll see games made by other directors in the company, not just himself. With FromSoftware's current size, I think Elden Ring is really the limit. We have exhausted all the resources and talent we have access to...... If it's a little bigger, things might not be good. Perhaps multiple projects are the next stage, giving some young talent the opportunity to manage and design a smaller project. ”
In addition, Hidetaka Miyazaki also said: "Now the budget, scale, and scope of the game have developed to a point where we cannot tolerate failure. From a business management perspective, we don't bet all our bets on one project. At the same time, you have to find the right project to allow failure: whether it's a smaller project or a small module in a larger project, there needs to be room for failure. I think that's where a lot of young game makers will be challenged and learn from it. Making sure you understand and identify these areas where failure can be tolerated is how we develop talent. ”
