From Software have had successful titles with games like Dark Souls II recently, but president Hidetaka Miyazaki recently spoke to Famitsu about how they’d like to expand their lineup with more Japanese-style games. (Thanks, Game Jouhou


During the interview, Miyazaki explained that there haven’t been any significant changes in management policy since From Software has been acquired by Kadokawa, and they’ll continue to develop, publish, and make things with From Software characteristics.



Miyazaki also mentioned that he doesn’t have any collaboration titles in mind, regardless of the acquisition by Kadokawa, although he did think that the online talks of a possible Kantai Collection and Armored Core collaboration were pretty interesting.



“The steady flow of dark fantasy games and mecha are something we’d like to continue taking good care of,” says Miyazaki about From Software’s well known series in Dark Souls and Armored Core.






However, he also believes that their current lineup is a little limited, and would like to have more variety as possible, including titles that represent a Japanese style, similar to what we’ve seen in series such as Tenchu and Otogi.



Finally, when asked whether the Armored Core series will continue going on, he stated: “They’re titles we’ve continued working on for the past 11 years, so we’ll continue taking good care of them.”



Miyazaki added: “There seems to be some talk about how I dislike the Armored Core series, but that is simply not true. Actually, I’d even like to direct a new title myself.”

Just that one mention of Tenchu made my day!

From Software should take a weekend and port Metal Wolf Chaos to the 360/XBL store.

I want Metal Wolf Chaos so bad.

I would like to see that, too XD

And with any luck, maybe more people would be interested in the AC series, AT LEAST.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
I'd like Armored Core to come to PC before you go mobile only, From.

I assume they're talking about Japanese setting and aesthetics. Maybe this should be bolded:

I'm already drooling. AC with Miyazaki's style/ideas could be amazing.

Would love to see From Software branch out and do more oddball titles like they have in the past. As long as they don't break the bank developing those games, it would be a good way to experiment with new ideas and not rely entirely on Souls to make ends meet.

From Software just needs to give me another Armored Core that's slow-paced like the old games. The new ones were good, but they just didn't feel like AC games.

I came into this thread thinking "AC? Which AC? Assassin's Creed? Animal Crossing?" So Armored Core huh? I forgot about that series. A big budget mech game would be fun.

I've been saying at every opportunity, I'd really love to see them make an Armored Core SRPG. Get in there and make that Front Mission meets Valkyria game I've wanted for years.

Whatever they make, I'm really glad to hear this from them

I was just going to make a thread asking how Verdict Day was, no one seemed to talk about it. As long as they continue to invest in Armored Core I'm" good.
