FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki said the video game studio is not currently considering making a sequel to 2022’s hit game “Elden Ring,” which was published by Bandai Namco (NCBDY), but won’t fully shut down the possibility of a sequel in the future, IGN’s Ryan Dinsdale reports, citing comments from the PlayStation Partner Awards 2024 Japan Asia. The game maker, which also develops the “Dark Souls” and “Armored Core” franchises, has a number of projects in the works, though none are continuations of “Elden Ring,” the author notes. “We’re not really considering developments such as an Elden Ring 2,” Miyazaki said. The Fly notes that Sony (SONY) is reportedly in talks to acquire Kadokawa, which owns a majority stake in FromSoftware.
