1 month ago 63

FromSoftware, the creator of Elden Ring, Demon’s Souls, and Armored Core 6, has revealed that it is increasing the average employee wage by nearly 12%.

The company announced this week that the basic salary will be increased by 11.8% starting April 2025, with the starting monthly salary for new graduates also being increase 260,000 yen ($1,775) to 300,000 yen ($2,050), which is just over a 15% increase in wages.

At FromSoftware, we strive to make games that convey emotion, create value, and inspire joy. To this end, we are working towards stable income and a rewarding work environment where our employees can apply themselves to development. The increase in base and starting salaries is one implementation of this policy. We will continue to develop games with the hope of inspiring players, and creating something of value.

Last month, FromSoftware launched a new recruitment drive that confirmed the developer is working on ‘several new projects,’ although no further details are available at this point. Given Elden Ring’s huge success, it is expected that a sequel will materialise down the line, and while nothing has been confirmed, creator Hidetaki Miyazaki hasn’t ruled it out.

Earlier this year, the studio released Shadow of the Erdtree, the expansion for Elden Ring.
