{"title":"FromSoftware","description":"\u003cp\u003eFromSoftware was founded in Tokyo on November 1, 1986 by Naotoshi Zin, spending its first years building business software before an abrupt and historic pivot to games: King's Field, a first-person dungeon crawler released in December 1994 as one of the earliest PlayStation titles, established the studio's taste for oppressive atmosphere, interconnected level design and unforgiving combat. The formula deepened through sequels and 1997's Armored Core, the customizable mech series that became the studio's commercial backbone for two decades, alongside cult experiments such as Shadow Tower, Echo Night and the Otogi action titles. Long before its worldwide breakthrough, FromSoftware had already built a reputation among devoted players as a developer that trusted its audience to master difficult, opaque systems without hand-holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat trust became a genre. Demon's Souls (2009) and Dark Souls (2011), directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, turned deliberate combat, environmental storytelling and shared-world multiplayer into the \"Souls-like\" template that countless studios now follow, while the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne (2015) and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - The Game Awards' 2019 Game of the Year - cemented the studio as one of the most influential developers of its era. Miyazaki was appointed president in 2014, the same year Kadokawa Corporation acquired a majority stake, and in 2022 Elden Ring - created in collaboration with George R. R. Martin - became the studio's biggest release yet, selling tens of millions of copies and winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards before its acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree expansion arrived in 2024. From a Tokyo business-software firm to the standard-bearer for demanding action RPGs, FromSoftware's catalogue rewards patience like no other in gaming.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dark-souls-ii-scholar-of-the-first-sin-pc-download","title":"Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eDrangleic does not forgive, and that is exactly why it endures.
