Elden Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki is the second game dev in history to make Time's 100 most influential people list

Dark Souls III director and President of From Software Hidetaka Miyazaki attends E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo at Los Angeles Convention Center on June 17, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

FromSoft president, Dark Souls creator, and guy who never reads the comments Hidetaka Miyazaki has won himself yet another title, Famitsu reports: He's the second game developer ever to receive a spot on Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the Year list. Sitting alongside names like Joe Biden, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and, uh, MrBeast, Miyazaki is the first dev to make the list since Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto in 2007.

Every person on the list has a short blurb written by a famous (though, I suppose, not notably influential, which has got to sting) person explaining their significance, and Miyazaki's is no different. His entry was written by Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog co-president and co-creator of The Last of Us.
