<p>After directing dark-fantasy action-RPGs <em>Demon&#8217;s Souls</em> and <em>Dark Souls</em> for From Software, it was recently announced that Hidetaka Miyazaki would not be directing the upcoming <em>Dark Souls 2</em>. Instead, directing duties will be handled by Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura, while Miyazaki will hold a supervisory role only.</p>
<p>However, the acclaimed director, who worked on several <em>Armored Core</em> games before creating the <em>Souls </em>series, already seems to be thinking about his next directorial effort, as revealed in <a href="http://www.edge-online.com/news/introducing-edge-249-dark-souls-ii-unveiled/" target="_blank">EDGE&#8217;s <em>Dark Souls 2</em> article</a>.</p>
<p>Although there are currently no concrete details as to what Miyazaki&#8217;s next game will be &#8211; a sequel or something completely original &#8211; he told EDGE, &#8220;sometimes I&#8217;d like to work on a warmer game &#8211; not necessarily casual, but warmer in terms of the atmosphere and the environment.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A warmer game&#8221; would certainly be a departure for Miyazaki after the often bleak and brutal worlds presented in <em>Demon&#8217;s Souls</em> and <em>Dark Souls</em>. Either way, many people will no doubt be keen to see what the director does next.</p>
