The Elden Ring series will live on, but Elden Ring 2? That's slightly more in doubt. So says Hidetaka Miyazaki, the original Elden Lord, in a new interview about From Software's current projects, which apparently span a variety of genres.

The interview in question is a roundtable chat from this month's PS Awards, as passed on by Game Watch. It's also in Japanese.

In particular, I was talking to Brendy the other day about the possibility of a From
