During a recent interview, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki addressed the issue of layoffs in the gaming industry. The mastermind behind Elden Ring made a firm commitment to avoid extensive job cuts within his studio.
Miyazaki is drawing inspiration from the legacy of the late Nintendo leader Satoru Iwata. Iwata’s decision to reduce his salary by 50% during challenging times to prevent layoffs left a lasting impression on many.
“It was Iwata-san who once said that fear of losing one’s job can hinder creativity. I share this sentiment, and I believe our parent company Kadokawa also values this approach. While the future is uncertain, I can assure you that significant layoffs will not occur under my leadership.”

Through his reassuring words, Miyazaki aims to inspire trust in the future of FromSoftware among players and enthusiasts.
