Some developers like to take their time. Rockstar delivers a game every ten years, roughly, Bethesda a game every twenty – give or take. Others produce in breathtaking quantity and quality that is almost astonishing. From Software is indisputably one of those developers. A sampling of what they’ve delivered in just the last 12 years is Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Elden Ring, two Armored Core games and more.
In a new interview with Eurogamer However, the From Sotware developer as well as the producer of Armored Core VI, Yasuhiro Kitao, believes that they want to continue developing innovative games in parallel with each other, but that it can also go yet faster.
Thus he said:
This is an area we feel we’ve always strived to achieve: always making something new, always making something original, something that we find interesting and fun as players. So in this sense, really, nothing much has changed. We do develop multiple titles simultaneously; we do have several teams working on different projects. We hope to stagger our releases and bring something new and exciting at hopefully not-so-long intervals going forward.
High ambitions, one might say. But if it keeps churning out high-quality games without the developers burning themselves out, who are we to argue?
