Hidetaka Miyazaki, the mastermind behind the Souls sub-genre, has revealed during an interview with IGN that there’s a ‘high possibility’ that he will delegate directorial duties for future Souls games.
Speaking in wake of Elden Ring‘s two-year anniversary, Miyazaki-san admitted there “is a high possibility that we would delegate responsibility of director to those other Souls-ish games going forward.
Yes, I think it’s very likely that we’ll see new directors going forward. And I think if we do that, I’d like to step away from that supervisory role and give them full direction and full control over those projects. I think really this is the best way and the easiest way for them to flourish within that environment and with those new projects.”

Miyazaki also touched on Dark Souls II, which is a game that he didn’t direct and one that generated a bit of mixed reaction from fans.
In regards to Dark Souls 2, I actually personally think this was a really great project for us, and I think without it, we wouldn’t have had a lot of the connections and a lot of the ideas that went forward and carried the rest of the series.
Looking ahead, Elden Ring is receiving an expansion in June titled Shadow of the Erdtree, which will also coincide with a physical Collector’s Edition featuring a bunch of extra goodies. Meanwhile, FromSoftware hasn’t ruled out a sequel or second expansion for Elden Ring, but nothing is in the pipeline yet.
