Few video games reach the astronomical levels of hype that FromSoftware’s Elden Ring currently has, and for a good reason — it’s from the same people that brought us Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, who directed all of these games, claims Elden Ring will surpass even Dark Souls. In an interview with GamesRadar’s Edge Magazine, the ironic director spoke about what makes his latest action RPG distinct from the rest.
“Elden Ring is based on a culmination of everything we’ve done with the Dark Souls series and with our games thus far,” Miyazaki said. “Variety is something we strived for when creating this game, and something I believe we’ve managed to achieve. I believe it will be our best [game] to date.”
In the new issue of Edge, out today, we meet with Hidetaka Miyazaki to discover the treasures of Elden Ring. Read our exclusive 16-page interview, alongside The Edge Awards, celebrating the best games of 2021 in E367, which is on sale now: https://t.co/hemwZsJ61p pic.twitter.com/VPIsN50RHY

It’s a bold claim, but if nothing else, Elden Ring is undoubtedly the studio’s most ambitious game to date. George R.R. Martin, best known for creating the Game of Thrones universe, helped pen the backstory for Elden Ring — which he believes looks incredible. We certainly dug what was on offer during our hands-on preview too.
Time will tell if Elden Ring ends up as FromSoftware’s best in the eyes of fans, but for now, it’s looking damn good.
