FromSoftware head Hidetaka Miyazaki belives Dark Souls 2 was ‘a great project’ despite backlash

For all of you who defended Dark Souls 2 over the past decade—your battles were not in vain, as even FromSoftware’s chief executive believes it was “a great game.” Hidetaka Miyazaki even sees Dark Souls 2 as a pivotal project that influenced all of FromSoft’s future games.

Recently, Elden Ring director and FromSoftware studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki spoke to IGN and said lots of good things about the black sheep of Souls games, Dark Souls 2. Miyazaki agreed with IGN’s notion that Elden Ring and Dark Souls 2 are closely related in terms of design, as each game features a hands-free and open-ended design, compared to some other FromSoftware games. “In regards to Dark Souls 2, I actually personally think this was a really great project for us,” Miyazaki explained, adding that if it never happened, it’s likely they wouldn’t have figured out the ideas and design choices that “carried the rest of the series.”
