FromSoftware Chief Defends Creative Freedom as Kadokawa-Oasis Clash Intensifies

Amid Kadokawa's power struggle with Oasis Management, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki publicly affirmed a development environment that lets the studio create without heavy interference, signaling no immediate changes despite Oasis's calls to oust Kadokawa leadership and push self-publishing. Kadokawa backs keeping President Takeshi Natsuno while noting publishing decisions are made case-by-case; Oasis argues FromSoftware could self-publish to capture more value, but the path and timing remain unsettled. Miyazaki's remarks are personal but carry weight, suggesting FromSoftware's creative independence remains intact for now.
