FromSoftware is the Tokyo-based game dev legend founded in 1986 by Naotoshi Zin, kicking off with business software before unleashing hardcore hits like King's Field (1994), Armored Core mechs (1997), and the soulslike revolution with Demon's Souls (2009). Acquired by Kadokawa in 2014 and led by president Hidetaka Miyazaki since, they've mastered punishing action RPGs, Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro (GOTY 2019), and Elden Ring (2022 smash with 25M+ sales), blending cryptic lore, brutal bosses, and open-world mastery for gamers who thrive on "git gud."
FromSoftware stays blissfully agenda-free, with zero DEI mandates, Pride posts, or social justice seminars on their clean careers site or feeds, just job listings for artists and coders, no equity quotas needed. Miyazaki keeps it real: games challenge everyone equally, no hand-holding or "inclusivity" sliders for the easily triggered. In a industry chasing rainbows while sales tank, FromSoft's formula delivers billions in fun without a single lecture.
