Miyazaki Says “95%” Of What He Does At FromSoftware Is Direct Games

Hidetaka Miyazaki has been the president of FromSoftware for about a decade now, after rising through the ranks from his earlier role as a director across multiple titles.

The thing is, once he became president 10 years ago, he also never stopped being a director. In fact, according to Miyazaki himself, directing games is what he spends the vast majority of his time doing.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Miyazaki went as far as to that he spends “95%” of his time directing games and being a director, and the other 5% goes to his duties as president. He continued to say that by that metric, he’d spent a total of “6 months” of his tenure as president being an “executive.”

“I enjoy helping grow and nurture the younger directors whom I see guiding the company in the next stage. But sitting in a management office all day isn’t my style.

I really get my hands dirty and continue to make games together, through which I hope I can communicate my process to a different generation of talent.

I have had the title of president for almost 10 years now, but I would say about 95% of what I do at the company and how I spend my time is directed towards making games and directing games. Using that ratio, you could say I only actually have about six months’ experience as an executive!”

Miyazaki has directed the games that helped make FromSoftware the studio they are today, so hearing that he still spends all his time being a director is exactly what fans want to hear.

In the latest example of FromSoftware’s excellence, Shadow Of The Erdtree, the long-awaited expansion for Elden Ring is available now. You can check out our review from earlier in the week, and make sure to check out our guides to help you through the Realm Of Shadow.
