'''FromSoftware, Inc.''' is a Japanese [[video game development]] and publishing company. It was founded by Naotoshi Zin in [[Tokyo]] on November 1, 1986. Initially a developer of [[business software]], the company released their first video game, ''[[King's Field (video game)|King's Field]]'', for the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] in 1994. Its success shifted FromSoftware to focus fully on games, with them producing two more ''[[King's Field]]'' games before the first release of the [[mecha]] shooter series ''[[Armored Core]]'' in 1997.

By the 2000s, FromSoftware's releases included the ''[[Echo Night]]'', ''[[Shadow Tower]]'', ''[[Lost Kingdoms]]'', ''[[Otogi]]'', and ''[[Another Century's Episode]]'' series. The company achieved breakout success by the 2010s with ''[[Demon's Souls]]'' and the ''[[Dark Souls]]'' trilogy of [[action role-playing game]]s. Often cited among the [[greatest video games ever made]], their emphasis on [[difficulty level|high difficulty]] and environmental storytelling led to the creation of the [[Soulslike]] subgenre that include ''[[Bloodborne]]'' in 2015, ''[[Sekiro]]'' in 2019, and ''[[Elden Ring]]'' in 2022.

[[Hidetaka Miyazaki]], creator and director of ''Dark Souls'', has served as FromSoftware's [[Representative director (Japan)|representative director]] and president since 2014, with Zin remaining as an advisor. Miyazaki directs and designs the majority of the company's games in addition to his executive duties. FromSoftware is owned primarily by [[Kadokawa Corporation]], with minority stakes by [[Tencent]] subsidiary Sixjoy Hong Kong and [[Sony Interactive Entertainment]]. FromSoftware usually self-publishes in Japan and has partnered with publishers such as [[Agetec]], [[Sony]], and [[Bandai Namco Entertainment]] internationally.
