Demon's Souls Boss Chosen As Miyazaki's Favorite FromSoftware Fight
Among the developer's long history of boss fights, FromSoftware presidentHidetaka Miyazaki has chosen a unique Demon's Souls foe as his favorite. From Dark Souls to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the studio's various «soulsborne» titles are known for their unforgiving difficulty and truly epic boss encounters.
