The debut ofElden Ring‘s Lands Between back in 2022 truly revolutionized the gaming industry. The title was packed with unaided exploration and hardcore boss battles. FromSoftware’s creation went on to even grab the Game of the Year Award.
Recently, the Soulslike game made waves once again when itsShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion received a nomination for the Game of the Year award. With the IP’s success, you’d think a sequel is right on the horizon.
However, FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed thatElden Ring 2isn’t currently in the works. That’s quite disappointing, but the studio now has the chance to give another highly requested title.

However,Miyazaki instantly crushed hopes forElden Ring 2. According to him, the studio isn’t considering developing another entry in the franchise.
We’re not really considering developments such as an Elden Ring 2.
Thankfully, Miyazaki stated that the game could return through other projects in the future. He didn’t confirm FromSoftware’s upcoming games but revealed that the studio is working on several projects.
AnElden Ringsequel is an exciting prospect, but there’s one thing gamers want even more:Bloodborne 2. Debuting in 2015 as a PS4 exclusive,Bloodborneis considered to be one of the greatest games developedby FromSoftware and Miyazaki.
The title’s gothic horror elements and creatures were quite a departure from the medieval settings gamers were used to seeing in theDark Soulsseries, drawing intrigue and resonating well.
For the past nine years, fans have been begging for a remaster or a sequel. Since Sony owns the rights to IP, FromSoftware couldn’t really do anything. However, withthe rumors floating around about a Sony takeoverof the developer, there’s a chance we could seeBloodborne 2in the future.
Sony’s Plans to AcquireElden RingDeveloper Might Not Materialize
A few weeks ago, rumors started floating around that Sony was looking to purchase Kadokawa, the parent company for theElden Ringcreator. Sony already has a 2% stake in Kadokawa and a 14% in FromSoftware.
Since the rumors started, players have been speculating about the impact of this takeover on the industry, as Kadokawa owns other major studios such as Pike Chunsoft and RPG Studios as well.

More recent reports stated that Kadokawa would only go ahead with the deal if Sony went for a complete buyout, including all the anime and gaming properties. However, this might prove to be too troublesome for the PlayStation maker.
According tosources, the total cost of purchasing Kadokawa’s properties would end up being more than 640 billion yen ($4.3 billion). That price is way too high for Sony’s liking as it has already made quite a few investments in recent years, such as a buyout of Bungie.
There’s also the chance that if Sony attempts to buy Kadokawa, it could lead to an outright bidding war, which could shoot up the prices even further. Only time will tell us how this acquisition plays out, as even industry experts are busy speculating on the impact Sony’s takeover of Kadokawa would have on anime, television, and gaming.
