From Software today announced that Hidetaka Miyazaki, the mind behind the popular
Souls RPG series, is the company's new president.
Miyazaki joined the Japanese company back in 2004, where he created and directed both
Demon's Souls and
Dark Souls. He also supervised on
Dark Souls II while he worked on another title.
The director's promotion came as part of
a large group of personnel changes [Japanese], including
Demon's Souls producer Masanori Takeuchi moving up into a senior managing director role.
These changes come just weeks after
From Software was acquired by Japanese media corporation Kadokawa, with the aim to take advantage of the company's worldwide influence.
