MIYAZAKI SAYS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT HE MAY NOT DIRECT "SOULS" GAMES IN THE FUTURE

Dark Souls and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki has said that there’s “a high possibility,” that he would delegate the role of director on future Souls games.

In an interview with IGN (via VGC) affirmed that there “is a high possibility that we would delegate the responsibility of director to those other Souls-ish games going forward.”

Miyazaki continued: “I think it’s very likely that we’ll see new directors going forward. And I think if we do that, I’d like to step away from that supervisory role and give them full direction and full control over those projects.”

So far, the only “Souls” project that Miyazaki did not direct ia Dark Souls 2. Although the title received mixed reaction from players, Miyazaki looks back on it with a special place in his heart. “In regards to Dark Souls 2, I actually personally think this was a really great project for us, and I think without it, we wouldn’t have had a lot of the connections and a lot of the ideas that went forward and carried the rest of the series.”
