With the imminent release of Shadow of the Erdtree, the critically acclaimed DLC for Elden Ring, having snatched everyone’s attention – Miyazaki has spoken openly about his previous games and what they mean to him. While lamenting both Bloodborne and Sekiro as two of his favourites in an interview with GameInformer, he said that “[combat has] become something much more fluid and active, I think, which was a very defining characteristic of Sekiro, and it’s something I’ve been thinking about since Bloodborne.”

“Perhaps in Sekiro, it appears most obviously or its the clearest form that I can think that philosophy can embody. And personally, I think there’s one more level we can crank it up to and sharpen that and hone in on that mechanic even more, but I think Sekiro was a big turning point.”

Buddy keeps name dropping Bloodborne in all these interviews. I really hope that’s a tease of things to come.
I got that feel too. On top of that we have Bluepoint breaking radio silence that their original game is still being made.

FromSoft went from Dark Souls combat to making my favourite combat system of the generation in Sekiro. In Miyazaki we trust and he will deliver

My ideal combat system would have something like Euphoria where we would gets physics based interactions instead of purely stat based, maybe one day.

I think blue point is probably working on the rumored horizon remake, a gow spinoff, or an uncharted project.

To be clear, he was talking between the relationship between offense and defense:

Sadly its up to Sony and they seem to hate the franchise

how about he sharpens up his team's technical chops, all of their games run terribly
