FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki has risen to fame and now has to be careful what he does in public
Hidetaka Miyazaki is world famous thanks to the great FromSoftware games he helped create. This also means that he has to be careful what he does in public.
Hidetaka Miyazaki is famous among gamers. It might seem like an obvious statement, but in reality game authors often remain hidden behind screens and we don’t even remember their faces, even if they have contributed to many quality and successful video games. However, it is all in all a recent fame, given that in the early years of his soulslikes he wasn’t a very well-known name. However, Elden Ring has definitively consecrated it to a very large audience (25 million players for this game alone).
In an interview with PC Gamer, Miyazaki reflected on the level of fame that comes with such a successful game.
Miyazaki’s words on the fame he achieved
Said Miyazaki: “In terms of how my worldview and my world have changed, I think it’s fair to say that I get recognized a lot more often than before when I’m out and about,” he said. “Especially from people who come from overseas. They come up and say hello. It gives me this feeling that I didn’t have before, of people having fun and playing these games. And it also makes me on my best behavior , when I know that people know who I am”.

In an interview with CNET , Miyazaki said, “I know very well what it’s like to not be noticed or have anyone pay attention to you, so this possibility of being noticed 180 degrees, I know how much value there is innately,” he said . “So, of course, this makes me really happy that we, as a company and as a team, have reached this level of success and stardom.”
In the interview he also brought the topic back to FromSoftware and the developers who created Elden Ring with him . “I think more than anything it showed me what the people at this company are capable of. When we set out to create a game of this scope and scale, we were truly up to the challenge. Obviously I don’t do these things only. I have many collaborators who have grown and developed with the game and I am eternally grateful to them. As for the staff and directors who have produced, they will now go on to create new and better things see what FromSoftware has in store for us. I think Elden Ring was a great step towards achieving this goal.”
