‘I absolutely suck at video games’: Hidetaka Miyazaki discusses how he prepped for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

It’s safe to say that Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was one of the most anticipated games for 2024, with long time souls fans having waited a couple of years since the base game’s release, and new players desperately trying to speedrun to Mohg so they’d be ready to dive straight in. But it seems like we weren’t the only ones prepping, as director Hidetaka Miyazaki also had a prerelease routine that he’s kindly shared. 

“In preparation for Shadow of the Erdtree, I played through the main story of Elden Ring,” Miyazaki says in an interview with The Guardian. “I want to preface this by saying I absolutely suck at video games, so my approach or play style was to use everything I have at my disposal, all the assistance, every scrap of aid that the game offers, and also all the knowledge that I have as the architect of the game … the freedom and open-world nature of Elden Ring perhaps lowered the barrier to entry, and I might be the one who’s benefiting the most from that, as a player, more than anyone else.”
