Fans ofDark Soulsand all things FromSoftware are very divided regardingDark Souls 2in this universe. This is one of the few games not directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director ofElden Ring. Some fans are not so happy withDark Souls 2because he doesn’t direct the game, but Miyazaki has other opinions about it.
In a recent interview, the director was asked about the upcoming DLC forElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. He talked aboutDark Souls 2and how this game helped a lot to inspire other games done by FromSoftware.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and a Misconception About Dark Souls 2 and Elden Ring
One of the most passionate things about videogames are the communities that form around every popular game. The FromSoftware titles had one of the most intense and active communities in the industry.

A part of this community had a very wrong opinion aboutDark Souls 2as the black sheep of all the titles in this universe. That isbecause Hidetaka Miyazakiwas not involved in the project; he is the director of all the other projects in the Dark Souls franchise, includingSekiroandElden Ring.

But in a recentinterview with IGN, Miyazaki clarified his position aboutDark Souls 2, praising the quality of the title and even talking about how this game inspired other titles done by FromSoftware.Elden RingandDark Souls 2have many similarities in world design and mechanics, so without this game,Elden Ringwould never be possible.
There’s really no way of telling how or if the series would have continued the way it did without Dark Souls 2.
The director is also very happy with the possibility of different directors in the future for From Software’s projects. So, fans could finally ditch this hatred forDark Souls 2.
a lot of projects where I am director, so I think a supervisor role for me is just something I’m not used to and just is maybe not quite a good fit
Yet still,Dark Souls 2is “one little area of regret” for Miyazaki, and it seems that he wishes that he continued on the project as director.
Miyazaki and the Future of the Studio
From Software has not confirmed the next title after the launch of theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. The rumors talk about a completely new IP or newDark Souls. But Bandai Namco, or FromSoftware, has not talked about this. Miyazaki has confirmed that the studio is currently working on several titles, some of which are being directed by different people.
Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC will be released on June 21, costing $39.99 and requiring theElden Ringbase game to be playable. This is the most expensive DLC content ever created by From Software. This DLC has even a new and spectacular Collector’s Edition with a statue of Messmer, The Impaler.

I’m a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
