Elden Ring studio FromSoftware reportedly has another unannounced multiplatform game in development, with a release likely due next year.
That’s according toMP1st, which claims that the Japanese developer has a game codenamed ‘FMC’ at “advanced stages of production”, alongside upcomingSwitch2 title The Duskbloods andElden Ring: Nigthreign’s post-launch support.
According to the publication, the unannounced game is likely to release “no later” than next year.
It also conducted analysis into the unannounced title’s codename, which it says is likely an abbreviation. It also notes that, previously, codenames starting with the letter ‘F’ have been related toDark Soulsor Armored Core games.
This leads it to speculate that the unannounced title could be a Fires of Rubicon expansion, or the long-expected Dark Souls 3 remaster.
Hidetaka Miyazakihas claimed that the recently announcedNintendo Switch 2exclusive The Duskbloodsdoesn’t mean that FromSoftware is moving away from traditional single-player games.
“I’ve always found the PvPvE structure very interesting. It allows for a broad range of game-design ideas, while also letting us leverage our experience of designing challenging enemy encounters,” Miyazaki said.
“As a side note, please allow me to address one thing. As previously mentioned, this is an online multiplayer title at its core, but this doesn’t mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward.
“The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring was also announced, and we still intend to actively develop single-player-focused games such as this that embrace our more traditional style.”
