FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki explains how the divisive Dark Souls 2 paved the way for Elden Ring.
In aninterview with IGN,Elden Ringdirector Hidetaka Miyazaki reflected on the2022 Game of the Year.
Its a notable bit of praise that comes almost exactly 10 years afterDark Souls 2s debut.
So why is Miyazaki praising it in this context?
Well, its becauseDark Souls 2s changes influencedElden Ringin some obvious and notable ways.
Why wasDark Souls 2so different?
Well, its mostly because its the onlySoulsgame that Hidetaka Miyazaki did not direct.
In that respect alone, its pretty clear why Miyazaki finds himself thinking ofDark Souls 2as of late.
His statements feel like more than that, though.
Sometimes, we end up with something much worse.
