10 Best Video Game Developers Working In 2016

8. FromSoftware

They may only have two major recent franchises to their name (Dark Souls and Bloodborne), you need only scratch the surface to find FromSoft also brought you Tenchu and Armored Core.

Those initial two series' though - you could close the book on them right now and their legacy would stand the test of time. Dark Souls itself iterated on Demon's Soulsto become a third-person hack n' slasher that redefined how we even interact with enemies and locations. Creator Hidetaka Miyazaki happened upon such a perfect formula for the genre that he was promoted to President of the company, giving him even more reign to produce some of the best video games of all time.

Dark Souls 3 in particular was simultaneously a love letter to the fans of old, whilst appealing to generations of new ones - simply through impeccable level design and referencing alone.

Like the Rockstar of the 2000s, FromSoftware of the mid 2010s have found their feetand are building a signature style out of a number of elements, all of whichmark them as some of the most talented andcreative minds in the business.
