Elden Ring has to be among the most celebrated releases of the year 2022. Developed by FromSoftware, the action-adventure title went on to bag the Best Game of the Year Award. Being such a widely appreciated title across the gaming community, fans were interested to have a sneak peek inside the development journey of the game. Competing with the largest companies, Elden Ring devs have the most shocking breakdown of team size.

Today, most of the gaming development giants rely on a massive number of employees in creating a title. Considering the peak years of gaming markets, developers do not want to make any compromises on the scale of a game. While the formula has been a go-to one for most of the industry labels, we have an exception. FromSoftware surprisingly created the magic of Elden Ring with just a team of 300 developers. 

From Upcoming Elden Ring DLC to Armored Core 6, FromSoftware Will Depend on the Same Modest Team Size

In a recent interview with PCgamer, the director of Armored Core 6 was asked for insight into the team size of FromSoftware. The latter, explaining the breakdown of the company, surprised all the Elden Ring fans. According to the director, FromSoftware has around 400 employees in the company.

Out of those 400, just 300 brains are involved in the development process of games. The resources and team size is shocking as the makers are currently working on two individual projects. One is a small side project of Armored 6 and the other is the major DLC update for Elden Rings.

The Diablo series was rumored to be made with the help of around 9,000 devs. Moreover, Ubisoft being such an industry giant hinted at needing more devs for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The company wanted to go from 2,000 employees to above 2,500 employees. Comparing these numbers to FromSoftware, it seems like the company has come a long way in confidence.
