"Dark Souls is My Life's Work" says Miyazaki, "I Do Want To Work On Something New"
Hidetaka Miyazaki is planning on launching several new projects in the near future but has not yet specified what these might be. In an interview with GameSpot, the president of From Software stated that he does want to move onto something new, perhaps in the sci-fi or mech genres.
If he were to dip into these genres in the near future, he "definitely wants to bring the Miyazaki touch" to them and is "pleased to hear people are interested in seeing that."
As for the future of Dark Souls, Miyazaki said "Dark Souls is my life's work. Everything I came up with for Dark Souls III is based on my personal preferences. However, Dark Souls III is also actually the turning point for the franchise."
The latest instalment of the franchise, Dark Souls III, heads to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2016. The franchise itself has sold over 8.5 million copies, not including off-shoots such as Demon's Souls or BloodBorne.
