Which Japanese studio developed the video game Elden Ring?

FromSoftware developed the video game Elden Ring.

The Japanese company is known for influential action role-playing games, including Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Elden Ring extended many of those games’ combat and exploration ideas into a large open world.

Hidetaka Miyazaki served as Elden Ring’s director, continuing his leadership role on several of FromSoftware’s major Souls titles. The game’s worldbuilding also included a collaboration with fantasy author George R. R. Martin, who contributed the mythological foundation of the setting.

FromSoftware is distinct from Bandai Namco Entertainment, which published Elden Ring in many markets. That publisher-developer distinction is a common source of confusion when the game’s credits are summarized.
