FromSoftware
FromSoftware, founded in 1986 and a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corp, has been a key player in the game development scene for nearly four decades. While active for many years, their breakthrough to a global audience came with Demon’s Souls, inspiring the widely acclaimed Dark Souls franchise, along with titles like Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. FromSoftware’s games, characterized by high difficulty and immense satisfaction, led fans to coin the term “Soulsborne” for the genre.
