Dark Souls’ lead dev now From Software President, entire company gets shakeup

Congratulations are in order for the lead developer of Dark Souls, as he has just gone up to become the president of Dark Souls’ parent company, From Software.

To be specific, we’re talking about Hidetaka Miyezaki, who was head of development on both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls. The prior president Naotoshi Jin, has taken a backseat role as an advisor, similar to Bill Gates in Microsoft.
