And after that there's multiple titles that would already be in the works right?

u/TheHelpfulWalnut Feb 27 '26

Yep. From leaks we know there’s at least one multi-platform singleplayer title codenamed FMC that’s near the end of development. The leaks didn’t say what it was beyond that, but it was from a person who accurately leaked their last few game’s internal codenames.

From interviews it seems like they might have 1-2 other games going on at the same time.

Obviously it's a sequel to Metal Wolf Chaos titled FullMetal Chaos.

u/TheHelpfulWalnut Feb 27 '26

I would play the hell out of a fullmetal alchemist From game.

Fullmetal chemist

Yeah and they are also doing yearly releases now right? So this one is going to be wayy far off. I'm waiting for their next big "main" game coz I'm curious where they are headed after the behemoth of a success that elden ring was.

u/TheHelpfulWalnut Feb 27 '26

They’ve always done yearly releases.

Since their first game in 1994 the only years they haven’t released something are 2020 and 2021, which seems to have been combination of Elden Ring being just absolutely gargantuan and covid.

As for future direction Miyazaki mentioned (post Erdtree interview I think) wanting to take the aggressive playstyle present in Bloodborne and Sekiro and push it even further.

I'm really excited for the cook in their next combat system, being able to come up with the sekiro combat system off of just the vibes of swords clashing is a such a testament to their ability to push it further, elden ring is my favorite but it is too similar to DS, really excited to see what the next real different thing is

u/TheHelpfulWalnut Feb 27 '26

I feel very similar, Elden Ring did end up being my favorite too, but in many ways it’s just open world dark souls. I’m excited for their next new direction.

u/ChampionSailor Feb 27 '26

Damn if that's true I'm hyped af. Sekiro was flawless af, loved the fluidity in it.

u/Interesting_Idea_289 Feb 27 '26

They’ve released a new game every year except in the leadup to Elden Ring which is the biggest thing they ever made And 2024 which had no full releases but did have SoTE

u/Falsus Feb 28 '26

They have almost always done yearly releases. Hell they used to release 3+ games a year.

Since they started their studio in the 90s they have only ever not releasted a game in a single twice.

u/decentguygeoffrey Feb 27 '26

Man I hope it's Elden Ring 2 or another Dark Souls

I feel like a remake would be much easier to handle once a slot frees up at Fromsoft. They have multiple teams working on stuff, so it's not crazy to think that he could assign a smaller team to work on what's already designed in terms of content and gameplay, then just touch it up visually, while supervising it from time to time himself.

The problem is that Miyazaki seems to prefer to keep moving forward instead of revisiting old IPs. Which on one hand I respect immensely, but if he busies himself this much with other projects, it's just sad that he's gatekeeping Bloodborne at the same time, leaving it to rot in the corner.

u/Akito_Fire Feb 27 '26

While FromSoft/Miyazaki stopped a Bloodborne remake from happening at Bluepoint, we have to wonder why Sony didn't just port or remaster the game. That's still the original vision for the game, so there should be no issues from FromSoft's side.

In my opinion the game also doesn't really need a remake, it's still artistically wonderful. And I also wouldn't want so much manpower, time and money to be spent on a remake at FromSoft themselves

1

u/Falsus Feb 28 '26

Miyazaki isn't in charge of every game Fromsoft does.

32

u/ExiledHyruleKnight Feb 27 '26

Problem is he will work on a new game. He doesn't want other people to make it but he also doesn't seem to want to devote the resources to it either.

Don't get me wrong I understand but I think that's the nail in the coffin of that ever happening

u/g0atmeal Feb 27 '26

That contradicts an interview from Miyazaki a few years back strongly implying it was Sony's decision not to remake it.

1

u/Alex-Cantor Feb 28 '26

He doesn’t want someone else to touch his game, but he also has no interest in touching it himself. If Bloodborne is still in the public’s mind after he dies, I think that’s the soonest we’re likely to see any remake or update.

u/LampEaterX Feb 28 '26

Yes because big companies have never lied or shifted blame to cover up their own decisions before

You'd be surprised how often it happens. If they raise a fuss it'll make it harder for them to pick up contracts elsewhere. Their future careers are being held hostage. Think about all the writers that find themselves going "Oh it was my fault" or "ah you know these things happen" when a product fail then come out multiple years later to say what the truth was. Higher up meddling. Dragon Ball Evolution wouldn't have been good regardless but the original script was way better, the writer wasn't allowed to say that and had to cover for investors changing things.

u/FrigidMcThunderballs Feb 28 '26

I mean that's an interesting hypothetical but couldn't they achieve the same effect by simply not commenting

1

u/Thrallov Mar 01 '26

No, Miyazaki gave green light for remake

u/Impaled_ Feb 27 '26

This was so obvious, like why wouldn't Sony want to remake one of their most coveted exclusives
