Elden Ring Dev Undergoing 'Large-Scale Recruitment' For Future Projects

FromSoftware was really on top of its game when the Japanese developer dropped Elden Ring in early 2022, and it seems the team is now building up for future projects beyond its upcoming ER expansion plans. As spotted by IGN Japan, the dev is ramping up development in a big way, with lots of roles opening up across the studio right now.

The team is hosting 'online briefing sessions' around these roles, roles that represent a large-scale recruitment drive at FromSoftware. "Multiple new projects" are at the centre of this drive as well - a detail that's making us curious about what the team is up to next.

As we previously mentioned, there is an Elden Ring expansion still to come out in the form of 'Shadow of the Erdtree', but aside from that we know little else about what FromSoft is up to. More Dark Souls? 'Bloodborne 2'? A new IP? Who knows!

Either way, all eyes are on this team after the monumental success that accompanied the release of Elden Ring early last year. If we had one nitpick about that release as Xbox fans, we'd love for the next FromSoftware game to launch on Xbox Game Pass - we've had too many teases for Elden Ring on Game Pass that haven't come to fruition!

What do you want the Elden Ring team to make next? Do tell us down below.

They've had two teams for a while. But I know they had to scale back dev on Armoured Core 6 to work on Elden Ring, so hopefully this will allow them to get games out faster.

I wish they would make a game just like Elden Ring but make it just a little easier. I'm not a hard core souls like player but I love the atmosphere and world of these games. But for me these games are hard and I can never complete them. Guess it's just my old age.

@CenturianShark I LOVE seeing other people who feel the same way I do about these games. They look amazing and the lore is really cool, but the difficulty is too much and the backtracking when you die or not having enough potions or health is annoying. I want a Souls or Elden Ring game but with an Assassins Creed or God of War style playthrough. Where when you die, you just start right back at the boss and dont have to go through hours of play again just to get back to that point.

This is perfect for their hardcore fans who love to be dismissive of other games. As of now their fans can only arrogantly dismiss soulslikes as derivative and failing to match FS quality but in they future they will also get to be dismissive of new FS games and talk about how they prefer the games that came before FS watered down its staff.

@CenturianShark elder ring isnt that hard if you follow and use instructions and builds on youtuber, also endure the start as it will little harsh

If you like to make it easier but i dont recommande it as you play the game not in the way dev created it, you can use mods on pc

Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time. I am on my 4th playthrough and am still finding new weapons, spells etc. Still can't beat Malenia on my own. After I completed Elden Ring the first time, I played Bloodborne, DS 1, 2 and 3. Still have to finish Demon's Souls. I still find Elden Ring the hardest. I was able to get through the other games. Probably because I learned the gameplay and mechanics from Elden Ring.

@CenturianShark If your hands are like mine they aren't as nimble as they use to be. I'm 60.
