Hidetaka Miyazaki was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award yesterday at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards that took place in London. Known for his work on From Software titles like the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne, Miyazaki was presented the award by game luminaries Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone.

I'm playing Dark Souls Remastered this week and while I haven't finished the game yet, it's been wonderful to revisit the land of Lordran.

Return To Yharnam is a Bloodborne community event that is happening right now. It's all about bringing long-term fans back into the game, and people are really getting into it.

Praise the Sun! A fully remastered version of Dark Souls is coming to the Nintendo Switch, allowing fans of the series to die suddenly to Capra Demon while travelling on the subway.

Bloodborne's chalice dungeons offer hundreds of thousands of possible crypts to explore. Dedicated players have found lost enemies and keep looking for more. Thanks to dataminers searching the game's files, a new group of dungeons have been found containing developer test areas and unused bosses.

Bloodborne's Lovecraftian setting is full of creative enemies, from multi-eyed brain beasts to half-flayed wolf demons. It's exciting to think about what creatures may still be lurking in the game years later or lost on the cutting room floor. The game's files recently ended up in the hands of dataminers, one of which decided to show off some of the game's cut monsters.

During a recent round table at Namco Bandai headquarters in Tokyo, I asked From Software's Hidetaka Miyazaki about the future of Dark Souls, as well as what else the studio is working on. The good news is yes, a new Armoured Core is coming. The bad news is that, at least for the foreseeable future, more Dark Souls is not.

Between directing Bloodborne and co-directing Dark Souls 3, From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki has kept busy. As he works on Dark Souls 3's downloadable content, Miyazaki must consider the future of From Software and what's after Souls. Here's what the designer had to say.

There's always a dissonance when one of the most promising new games you see at E3 is also one of the least traditionally "exciting" ones.

When Bandai Namco announced Dark Souls 3, it called the sequel the "final episode", suggesting Dark Souls was coming to an end. At E3, however, the developers said it wasn't true.

According to an unconfirmed report from an unnamed source, Dark Souls 3 will be announced at E3, with original series auteur Hidetaka Miyazaki at the helm.

Earlier this year, From Software of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, as well as the upcoming Bloodborne fame was purchased by Japanese corporate giant Kadokawa with Dark Souls' director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, taking on the reins as president of From Software.
