The game 💃auteur behind Dark Souls, Bloo🥃dborne, and more takes top honors

During the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Golden Joystick Awards 2018 today, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware's visionary director Hidetaka Miyazaki won the Lifetime Achievement award for his outstanding contributions to the industry. Miyazaki directed such influential games as the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne, which redefined how players and developers alike approach difficulty and worldbuilding in games. As the latest winner of the Lifetime Achievement award, Miyazaki joins the ranks of esteemed video game luminaries like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima, Sid Meier, and the late, great Satoru Iwata.
The award was presented by two living legends in their own right: Games Workshop and Fighting Fantasy co-creators Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Their presence was no mere coincidence: the Fighting Fantasy choose-your-own-adventure RPG books that Jackson and Livingstone penned 37 years ago originally inspired a young Miyazaki. Livingstone called Miyazaki a "true genius of game design," which must've felt great, as the pair are two of Miyazaki's childhood heroes. "I'm such a huge fan of these two guys, I've almost forgotten what I was going to say,꧂" Miyazaki chuckled.
Next up from Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, coming in March 2019, which adds grappling hook mobility to th𒊎e studio's familiar blend of brutal challenge and righteous rewards. "I plan to carry on making games for as long as I'm able, and I will do my very best to make sure that they're games that you will enjoy," Miyazaki pledged. "Thank you for your continued support in advance."
