DARK SOULS director Hidetaka Miyazaki has stated in an interview with Japanese game press that the third and final (?) iteration in the Dark Souls series should have “never been made” due to Bandai Namco publishing company having pressured him into producing it. “I never wanted to make a third game, I like new projects… revisiting the series was very hard for me and everyday was difficult to say the least.” Miyazaki’s latest creation broke records when it was released in February of 2021. The game titled Elden Ring was cowritten with *Winds of Winter author George R.R. Martin, some claim it is his magnum opus but he says it was just another project with more ambitious projects on the way. “The fanbase is bad (meaning cringe), especially in the west. I don’t like the games association with its fans. Some fans are good but others are bad.” A bold quote from the director who is lashing out at some of the fanbase for Dark Souls, which has gained major popularity within the western hemisphere along with FROMSOFTWARE’S catalogue as a whole.
