>Did they switch composers or something?
Yes, Kitamura left after Elden Ring.
I don't know why, but her work on the Dark Souls trilogy + Elden Ring was almost all uninspired slop. She did very well on Bloodborne and Sekiro, but besides those every powerful & memorable piece was by someone else. It's why the OST quality declined after DeS, she got more involved until Elden Ring, where there were more composers, and now she's gone.
