Following the record success of 2022’s Elden Ring, FromSoftware Inc. has finally received the global recognition appropriate for the developer’s efforts. Based in Japan, FromSoftware has been experimenting with the concept of role-playing games since its King’s Field series in the 90s. After a multitude of RPG releases over the years, Elden Ring has catapulted its developer out of previously niche territory into the mainstream of gaming by selling over 20 million units. While adventuring through the dark fantasy of The Lands Between has become a prolific concept in modern gaming, FromSoft built up to that world through multiple classic entries in the “Soulsborne” genre the studio pioneered.
