Hidetaka Miyazaki leaves “From Software” to work on “Fortnite”

Hidetaka Miyazaki, renowned game creator thanks to his works such as the Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring IPs, said today on his social media account on X that “My time at From Software is OVER. Starting from today I will be a creative director for Epic Games and its Fortnite Team.”. While this was a shock for many, many analysts in the space were already aware of this possibility: In fact, as reported by G. “Tetra” Mike, Miyazaki already discussed this possibility at Tokyo Game Show 2024 when he openly declared that “Dark Souls was just a stepping stone for something bigger, in the last few years I realized what was that I truly wanted. Fortnite. My Dream is Fortnite, My Love is Fortnite, My Life is Fortnite.“.

The future of the Souls genre produced by From Software is now unclear but many users speculate that Team FNTASTIC, the ones behind acclaimed videogame “The Day Before“, is now interested in an acquisition of the Dark Souls franchise.
