Game developer From Software has a lot on its plate with Bloodborne next big DLC and the highly anticipated Dark Souls 3 development that raise some doubts on whether doing two things all at once may affect the over-all quality and either of the games release dates.
However, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has offered assurance to fans who are looking forward to both the DLC for Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. He stated that the quality of the game's upcoming expansion will not suffer in line with his second project.
GameSpot reports that it is quite undeniable how fans have high expectations for Bloodborne's new expansion following the huge success of the game and that of the past DLC called 'Artorias of the Abyss.'
Not much details were revealed on the next Bloodborne DLC including the degree of Miyazaki's degree of involvement with it. When the game director was announced to work on Dark Souls 3, it draws some concern from fans but Miyazaki thinks otherwise.
In his interview with the game website, he was crystal clear to say that he believes he owns the capacity to handle both projects on the same timeline and even went on to tell the fans that such case isn't first for him.
"The bottom line is, I think I can do it. I believe I can do both the Bloodborne DLC and Dark Souls 3," Miyazaki said. "This isn't the first time I've had to work on two projects at the same time. When I was doing Demon's Souls, I was also working on Armoured Core: For Answer. Even for the original Dark Souls, I acted as producer and director."
Moreover, Miyazaki shared how he has been working with people to get involved with the Dark Souls 3 development that will free up some time for him to delve on the other title.
He explained, "In the case of Bloodborne, although I was the lead game director, there was another director level person that also contributed. This is the same for Dark Souls 3. Actually, [Yui] Tanimura-san, the director of Dark Souls 2, has already joined the [Dark Souls 3] team, which will allow me to work on core gameplay design while other things are taken care of."
He concluded that any title that bears his name would have great quality as saying, "As long as I am listed as game director on the end credits, there's a certain level of quality the game needs to meet. I can guarantee that the game quality will reach that."
The Bloodborne DLC is set to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment and will be the game's next big update. The original title has been well-received when launched as PS4 exclusive single player and multiplayer third person perspective title early this year with 1 million copies sold as of April 2015, Christian Post noted.
The Bloodborne DLC release date is yet to be announced by either Sony or From Software soon, although, some pundits believe that it may arrive prior to the launching of Dark Souls 3 slated to launch by early 2016.
