Elden Ring developer FromSoftware is recruiting for several projects

FromSoftware, based in Tokyo, has begun large-scale recruitment for future projects in a variety of departments ranging from game development to IT to business-related positions.

The details:

• The studio has opened a brand new page on its careers site dedicated to the 20+ new roles across multiple projects, as spotted by IGN Japan (via Wccftech). There are numerous artist positions available, as well as developer, PR, and sales roles, and even more in its audio engineering and sound design teams. Those interested in applying must be able to work in Tokyo and speak Japanese.

• A series of Zoom calls will be held between December 4 and 15 with current FromSoft developers to discuss specifics about the roles and future projects with applicants.

• Outside of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which was originally intended to be two separate DLCs, it is unknown what projects are in the works at the developer. It may be working on a long-awaited PC port of Bloodborne, a fan-favorite PS4 release, or new content for the recently released Armored Core VI.

More gaming news:

• According to reports, Microsoft will begin prohibiting the use of "unauthorized accessories" on Xbox consoles. This will prevent players from using devices that support mouse and keyboard controls without native support, as well as unofficial fighting sticks.

• Gameloft has announced that Disney Dreamlight Valley will no longer release as a free-to-play title when it leaves early access in December, instead carrying a $39.99 price tag for its base edition. The title will continue to receive free content updates, but its microtransactions will remain.
