Elden Ring’s 16.6 million release on September 30 was a huge success, and it’s already led to some changes in FromSoftware’s evolution. Since 2014, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s studio has been completely owned by Kadokawa, and has opened capital to Sony Interactive Entertainment and Tencent, accounting for 14.09% and 16.25% of the studio, respectively. For Kadokawa, the challenge was to help FromSoftware become its own publisher around the world, not just Japan like it is today.
