As he stated, "At this point, we are not thinking of developing “Elden Ring 2″ or anything like that." But this doesn't mean the Elden Ring IP is being neglected. FromSoftware is constantly working on multiple projects, as is their usual practice. There are various directions and variations within these projects, and fans can look forward to seeing the results.
Multiple Projects in the Works
Following the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, a highly nominated expansion for Game of the Year at this year's Game Awards, FromSoftware is indeed developing multiple games.
