Miyazaki to Step Down from Directing Future 'Souls' Games

Hidetaka Miyazaki plans to delegate directorial duties to new talent, aiming to infuse the iconic series with fresh ideas.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director behind FromSoftware's iconic 'Souls' series, has indicated a high likelihood of stepping down from directing future 'Souls-ish' games.
Miyazaki expressed a desire to delegate directorial responsibilities to new directors, granting them full control over future projects.
This decision is seen as a way to allow new directors to flourish and bring fresh ideas to the 'Souls' series.
Miyazaki's only non-directorial role in the series was for 'Dark Souls 2', which he views positively for its contributions to the series.
Elden Ring's first expansion, 'Shadow of the Erdtree', is set for release in June, with Miyazaki not ruling out a sequel.
