From Software has said it’s not currently considering making an Elden Ring sequel.
Elden Ringdirector andFrom SoftwarepresidentHidetaka Miyazakidiscussed the studio’s future projects during an appearance at thePlayStationPartner Awards 2024, where the game’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion received the Grand Award.
“We’re not really considering developments such as an Elden Ring 2,” Miyazaki said, as reported byIGN Japanand translated byAutomaton.
However, he also said the studio wasn’t ruling out the possibility of the Elden Ring IP developing “in some form in the future.”
Miyazaki, who is also the director behindDemon’s Souls,Dark Soulsand Bloodborne, said From Software is currently working on several projects which are diverse in terms of genre. He is directing some of them, while others are being helmed by colleagues.
In an interview published in May,Miyazaki ruled out making a second Elden Ring expansion, but left the door open for a potential sequel.
He said the company would rather release one major expansion than split additional content into several parts, which would reduce the freedom of exploration and sense of adventure the game offers.
Released in February 2022, Elden Ring is comfortably From Software’s biggest commercial hit, having shipped over 25 million copies according to its developer.
This summer, Miyazaki said there was outsideinterest in making an Elden Ring adaptation, possibly a film.
PlayStation makerSony is in talks to acquire From Software’s parent company, Kadokawa Corporation.
