Elden Ring 2 is not in development, says FromSoftware's Miyazaki

Elden Ring2 is not being considered by FromSoftware, though the franchise will still continue.

Creator Hidetaki Miyazaki spoke to Japanese outletGame Watchafter this year's PlayStation Awards, for whichElden Ring DLCShadow of the Erdtree won the grand award.

When asked about the future of Elden Ring, Miyazaki stated the studio is not considering Elden Ring 2, but that doesn't mean the IP won't be developed further.

He added FromSoftware is working on multiple projects, though did not specify if some form of Elden Ring game is one of them.

Back in 2022, shortly after Elden Ring's release, itsphenomenal saleswere described as "a fantastic start for the new franchise".

However, despite the critical and commercial success of DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, it seems a direct sequel won't be happening.

So what's next for FromSoftware? At present the studio's plans are underwraps, though now-deleted job listings earlier this year included mention of robot characters, leading to speculation of another Armored Core game.

The company's future is uncertain too, followingreports Sony is looking to acquire FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa. Thattakeover interest was acknowledged by Kadokawa, lending it credence.
