Despite a wild fan base and millions of pre-orders, FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki has put the much anticipated expansion pack for Game of the Year winner "Elden Ring" on "Indefinite" hiatus as he begins working on what he calls a "passion project" - a videogame based on popular TV Anime "GochiUsa BLOOM".
"Honestly, Shadow of the Erd Tree wasn't shaping up the way I would have liked" Miyazaki said to Hexbear in an exclusive interview. "For starters, it lacked the deep emotional connection between characters you see in GochiUsa, and there simply wasn't any room for character growth the way we see with Chino-chan, who slowly opens up and accepts Cocoa-chan as her Onee-chan.
"Our new game, Rabbit Souls, will allow us to explore deeper personal connections than any of our previous games and finally deliver a fun and exciting gameplay experience never before seen from From Software."
Regardless of your thoughts on the delay, or on popular TV Anime GochiUsa BLOOM, one must feel excited for this new entry from legendary game studio From Software. Look forward to Rabbit Souls in 2027, and then finally Shadows of the Erd Tree in 2028.
