Gamescom 2018: Dark Souls Is Done, FromSoftware Reiterates

not realy bad news.

it's always good when devs want to take a break from doing the same thing over and over again.
you don't want to risk that fatique setting in the fandom.

besides i'm pretty sure we will see bloodborne 2 eventually. maybe only on ps5 though.

I don’t think the souls like games will be done. Just dark souls’ setting. Maybe a sci-fi souls like game from from software next? Or a licensed souls like game? Who knows

Well, Bloodborne is Sony's IP, so it's up to them if they want to pay for a sequel to be made. I think, if it does happen.. it will be a PS5 game.

I liked and finished all three... but still, thank god! Maybe my friend will eventually stop snobbing around about how unparalleled the series is for its storytelling, difficulty, blablabla.

@tameshiyaku haha that's also what annoys me about the fanbase.
and don't you dare make a game with a similar idea because it will be a "bad ripoff" blablabla.

anyway,there are still "souls like games" in the making such as nioh 2 and the surge 2 so it's not that people won't be getting their fix.

@jdv95 to be honest, my favourite has been Bloodborne while I think the souls trilogy has peeked with the first. While not necessarily better games I do think nioh and the surge do some things better, but the ds fanboys would never admit.
That said, Sekiro looks pretty damn cool.

Good. The soulsborne series is great and all but no one wants to see an amazing developer stick to one series. Theyre doing something different with sekiro and its blowing up

It’s always great to make new series, but I would love Bloodborne 2 and a remake of Demon’s Souls, also a Demon’s Souls 2.

@jdv95 I bought NIOH on release loved the beta but its still in my backlog and somehow i played MHW for 550 hours. 😁

@tameshiyaku Perfect summation. I would just add that I enjoyed Demons Souls more than any Dark Souls, and only slightly less than Bloodborne, but that's just my opinion. I wonder if Sony will ever do anything with the ones they own. From is talented, but Sony has a lot of talented people that could probably do interesting things with Demons Souls or Bloodborne's worlds and gameplay.

Sekiro does look cool. I wonder what they'll do next. I'll certainly pay attention to just about anything From announces.

@Flaming_Kaiser 550 hours?

damn that's some elder scrolls time!

@Kidfried Nah, the Poke Ball controller

i'm suprised that demons souls has not been remastered yet.

since they are releasing all 3 dark souls games in 1 package (the first one being already remastered before) it would only make sense to remaster demon souls.

and if from software doesn't want to spend time doing it,then maybe have bluepoint handle it.

I'm fine with this. They gave birth to a brand new genre & imo Ninja Theory now do FromSoftware better than FromSoftware . Sekiro's got nothing on Nioh 2!

@Fight_Teza_Fight that's because shadows die twice is not supposed be a souls like game.

can't realy compare that game with nioh 2.

@jdv95 Yeah your probably right!I'd be very surprised if Sekiro touches Nioh 2 in the gameplay department though! Nevertheless those two and Ghost of Tsushima are going to get compared to each other.

3 games is not milking the series.word up son

Sekiro is still rather SoulsBorne-like, at least for me; it has a similar atmosphere to it so far, and requires a high level of technical skill (compared to most other action games or action-rpgs),

I don't think Bloodborne needs a sequel, it's pretty much spot on already.

Good. I need to play the DS game at some point, and don’t need more added to the list. It feels like it’d drag on after 3 as well. Plus Sekiro also looks right up my alley, exactly what I want from them, so I’m happy.

Of course it's a little sad to hear no more souls but onwards and upwards I suppose

@Futureshark
Agreed, it doesn't need one. But I wouldn't complain if it did happen!
To be honest, as long as they keep making brilliantly fun games in such interesting worlds, I'll be happy.

@Kidfried Wiimote support is what we need! With a wireless nunchuck with a shield shape. All in black iron, with golden buttons.

@Kidfried Its my max to but i think its getting a little bit old now. I love the events but they keep pushing stuff in your face the whole time. This may sound strange but the content flood is getting a little bit to much almost like a chore because of the timed nature almost forcing you play.

I think i need something like story stuff and maybe just maybe start to works in my. backlog.
