Yuka Kitamura, the lead composer for Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, has announced they are departing the company to go freelance.
If you’re a fan of FromSoftware’s games then you’ve probably played a title that Kitamura-san worked on, as they have contributed to the soundtrack of classics such as Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, and Elden Ring. Writing on Twitter, Kitamura revealed that a new website has been set up to support their new venture.
Thank you all for your continued support. Today I have an announcement to make. I have decided to leave FromSoftware, the company I worked for, and to start working new as a freelance composer in this August. I would like to continue to express myself in game music through various genres of music. I hope you will look forward to my music in the future! I have created a new website.
Kitamura has been with FromSoftware since 2011, and some of her earlier works include working as a composer for Armored Core: Verdict Day, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King.
