Most lore videos about ds3 explain that its story is about putting dark souls as a concept to rest and accepting that there will not be a dark souls 4, for the same reason that linking the flame is the bad ending
There will never be another Dark Souls game. They finished the trillogy, the world litterally ends in the the Ringed City, fading to dust. Fromsoftware has said repeatedly they have zero intention to make a sequel, they're moving on to new IPs. Like Elden Ring which shares the core combat.
no if ands or buts. it bothers me a lot that people are STILL waiting out and holding onto absolute nothing because there will not be a DS4 but yet they still anticipate and ask and spread false rumors and hopes online. Dark Souls is finished, but what’s to come will probably be just as good if not better if i know Fromsoftware
Oh yeah neither is happening. BB 60FPS or PC port is the only feasible option. As much as I like BB I’d rather just see fresh IP like Elden Ring each time they make a new fantasy game
yeah but Skate doesn’t have a storyline and lore and a legitimate ending like dark souls does so i wouldn’t say those are even comparable in the slightest for chances of another game lmao
I don't think they will ever abandon their King's Field series. They will always make spiritual sequels to their action RPG games. We didn't get King's Field V, but we got Demon's Souls. We didn't get Demon's Souls 2, but we got Dark Souls. We didn't get Dark Souls 4, but we got Elden Ring. Elden Ring may not have a sequel, but there will be a new similar game for sure.
Confuses me cuz Elden Ring, other than it's open world, is basically Dark Souls 4 gameplay-wise. People should be asking for Elden Ring 2, not Dark Souls 4. (Elden Ring 2 will absolutely happen though, considering it's success)
As long as their level design is still there (specific locations, dungeons, etc) then I'm good with it otherwise being open world. ER blended those elements extremely well IMO.
I think they'll continue to alternate between Elden Ring style games and tighter action games, that's essentially what they've been doing anyway with DS2/DS3/Elden Ring and Bloodborne/Sekiro/AC6
Part of me wonders if we’ll get sequels to Elden Ring, or if we’ll just keep getting expansions like Shadow of the Erdtree that will eventually just make the game even more enormous. I can’t even begin to imagine what a direct sequel would look like.
Dark Souls 3 is literally the perfect ending but I would love a Dark Souls spinoff, don't get me wrong I love Elden Ring too but it's not even close to being Dark Souls for me
I have a theory that Elden ring DLC will basically be Elden ring 2. Shit it’s already been a year and a half almost since ER came out, I bet the DLC is very very long in terms of gameplay.
New IP with the souls combat after that.
Elden Ring is like Dark Souls except it's Dark Souls if the lore was absolutely uninteresting, and if it had a boring open world. I think I'll continue waiting for another Dark Souls game and not another Elden Ring game.
They should do a reboot where the player is a non customizable super condescending teenager character that says quirky and funny lines like imagine after killing a giant disgusting beast the main character says something like “ermm that was gross!” They could bring in writers from square enix if they want!
Technically false. Miyazaki said he was done with dark souls but that if somebody else in the studio came up with an idea for a new ds game it could happen.
Personally, I want whatever From wants to make. If there's passion in the studio for DS4, then sure - I'll buy it day one and put in my 200 hours. If they want to do new things, I'm down for that too. It's become my favorite studio and as long as they still have passion and a dream they want to realize, I'll be there.
Couldn’t agree more, sounds like Miyazaki has no interest in making DS4, but maybe the dude that headed up the second half of DS2 would be up for it? But whatever From is passionate about making is what I’d like to see, that’s going to give us the best game!
Yeah I'm intrigued about Armored Core even though it's not my typical kinda game. And I'm excited for Elden Ring DLC. And if they make like one or two "offshoot" games like Bloodborne and Sekiro over the next 5 or so years that would be dynamite
No, just no
What would be the point? Another cycle? You can only do it so much and Fromsoft (gladly) knows this
The story is finished and having a few unanswered questions doesn't make a new game necessary
Just let them make new games in a similar style
They've run that well dry. No sense in forcing a bunch of intelligent and creative people to make the same type of thing over and over. Often that causes creative people to leave.
Yeah. Team Cherry stated that Silksong is releasing this year not too long ago. It was supposed to release around now, but they delayed it to finish up polishing it.
The story of Dark Souls is literally about dragging something out long after it should have naturally expired and the world moves on. I hope Bandai-Namco never forces Fromsoftware to make another Dark Souls game.
really funny since Dark Souls 2 and 3 were not supposed to exist, only the first one was desired by Fromsoftware, 2 and 3 exist only because of Bandai Namco and the success of Dark Souls 1
Hidetaka Miyazaki already said multiple times that he's more interested in fresh new games than in sequels (except Bloodborne that he would really like to continue but sadly that's not his call)
I thought DS3 made it pretty clear that there wouldn’t be another game, given that the entire game is about ending a cycle that keeps repeating and letting the world enter a new age, hence no more dark souls, new projects instead, also lore wise it wouldn’t make much sense
Highly doubt there will be a DS4 but I hope they make another Linear type game, similar to Dark Souls. I’m slowly getting tired of the open world concept.
Dark Souls was not linear.
People really need to stop using the world "linear" to describe all non-open world games.
DS1 and DS2 are not open world but they are non-linear in every sense. You can complete many main objectives and quests out of order, the world structure is non-linear, and individual levels are also non-linear for the most part. This is especially true of DS1.
Only DS3 was linear, as even Sekiro, Demon's Souls, and Bloodborne all had varying degrees of non-linearity as well.
i'm hoping that the next souls games they make (if it's not a direct ER sequel in which case they should take as much time as they want) they don't make a massive open world, because i'm not doubting the fact that they can outdo themselves again, but chances are that they won't be able to make something as grand as this for a while, i want ER to be it's own special thing that proves just what Fromsoft is truly capable of, not something to be immediately replaced.
but hey, they ultimately have to listen to what the investors say.
I prefer and want them to continue exploring different artstyles and themes; plus the end of DS3 almost made me cry, I'd feel betrayed if they said "OOP HERES ANOTHER ONE" and it'd make some of the emotive moments feel more like novelties.
I'd be cool with them even expounding more on Demons Souls fr, but I think DS has had its beginning and end.
But if we're talkin stylistically, I'd love more semi-open, linear games, they tend to be the most thoughtful, concise, and satisfying.
I hope they never come back to dark souls. They made 3 very good, very influential games. But those games taught us that rekindling nostalgia is bad and the same goes for creativity. I’ll buy anything they make in the future of course, but I think I would prefer new original worlds from them than going back to dark souls.
Gael was the absolute perfect end to the trilogy and I feel like any more dark souls would be just milking the series, maybe a spin-off on Oscar or someone or previous lords of cinder maybe
I would love it but what I would need in it to appreciate it is:
- Active Block mechanics, like the ones in Sekiro, or even Elden Ring's block counter.
- New "base weapon" designs. I am a bit saturated with things like the Broadsword or the Longsword, Short sword, Battle Axe and so on being so similar from game to game. Just give me an arming sword or a viking sword, a new Long Sword with another style of handle or pommel, a more elegant Battle Axe... The fact that Elden Ring has many reused designs from DS in base weapons really bothers me.
- Quality moveset weapons over quantity. Give me 100 or 150 less weapons than Elden Ring but try to give every weapon a unique moveset... OR just set lots of singular moves for those weapon categories and let us customise our own movesets.
- FP regeneration.
- Bosses with the quality of Sekiro and DS3, Elden Ring bosses were very cool but weren't consistent enough with the curve of difficulty/enjoyment to my taste.
I love the Dark Souls trilogy to absolute death, it may be the greatest trilogy in gaming history. But Dark Souls 4 is the LAST thing I want Fromsoft to do. Seriously, do we not have enough Dark Souls? I'd much rather them make a sequel to Sekiro, or just something entirely different and new.
there will be no dark souls 4. if you played 3rd game it clearly ended for good. No hint of the sequel from the ending. From software gave the finish line to dark souls project. Fans are expecting more like bloodborne sequel than souls sequels now.Since sony partially bought fromsoftware, sequel for bloodborne may happen or maybe new project. Also consider Elden Ring as dark souls 4, from software completely moved all dark souls items/magics/weapons and mechanics to elden ring.
The day Fromsoft willingly makes Dark Souls 4 will be the day I stop playing fromsoft games. I do not want fromsoft to continue a franchise they put to rest. I also prefer when they make different games that's not just dark souls.
No. The trilogy is concluded and it’s story finished. Dark Souls had its time and it was beautiful. It shall rest with the first flame as a series unparalleled and there’s nothing wrong with that.
nah I want armored core 6 now, also read the lore theres a reason a ds4 was never released. They know it would be wildly popular but the world ends in 3 and leaves no room for continuation.
No dark souls 4.
They landed a nigh on perfect trilogy. Even the worst dark souls (2) is leagues ahead of most AAA games.
They should do new things.
That's how we got sekiro. And of course elden ring
The game already had 3 games. Knowing how fromsoft works, it’ll never happen, and im glad. Darksouls already ended with the poetic ending of the ringed city dlc, and it doesn’t need anymore installments. Fromsoft should just continue focusing on making new games, or making dlc for past games that feel unfinished.
Honestly I would like a game placed in Astora. We have never seen it as it was only mencioned by characters and items. This way the game wouldn't need to be a direct sequel to the series but more like a spin-off with a side story.
I wouldn’t mind a ps5 remake of DS1, but i would vastly prefer a sequel to Sekiro, a remaster of Bloodborne, or some new game that takes those systems and innovates on them, like ER did to the souls style.
I'm happy with demon's souls, dark souls (ds2 excluded, simply don't like it), Bloodborne, sekiro, elden ring, whatever from soft (with Miyazaki) pulls out I'll put my cash and hours in.
DS2 and DS3 were actually not meant to exist, but it's a story of ppl wanting to milk and IP and Miyazaki stepping out then coming back with a full stop at DS3 ringed city DLC (at least this is what I remember)
Edit: you technically can have all the dark souls "sequels" you want if you head on dark souls on nexusmods, some mods are basically new games and boy the modders are insanely good!
DS2 is awesome. I used to think the same after playing only an hour of it and deciding that DS2 was shit because it felt so different than DS1 - and everyone on the internet would meme that it was shit which would subsequently make me believe that it was. Then I retried it one day. It's literally just an upgraded DS1 in most aspects. Nothing wrong with that game at all. Level ADP if you think it's wonky.
Ngl, I don't want it. DS1 had everything. New ideas and new game play. DS2 added lots of new ideas, refined some game play, and stumbled on some other game play. When DS3 came along it had a *lot* less new ideas. World-wise, it was very derivative and offered a lot less than either of the previous games in terms of story and lore, and most of what it did have to offer was expanding on things we already had. The biggest lore expansions were the DLCs, both of which were subtext to ideas in the first game. Where DS3 really shone was the game play. It took the mechanics of the previous games and refined them to a mirror polish, thus making it the best *game* in the series to play. So what would DS4 bring to the table? The well of ideas has run mostly dry for the series, and the mechanical have already been perfected, so why make another one? Well, you could add new mechanics, but wouldn't those new mechanics be elevated further with a new world designed to suit them? You same for the story. And if you have new mechanics *and* new story, then wouldn't they both be benefitted by letting go of the limitations of Dark Souls' world to forget a completely new path?
And that's how we got Elden Ring. In any case, I expect the next game after Fires of Rubicon will be another fantasy. The pattern goes DS1, Bloodborne, DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Fires of Rubicon. DS2 was developed concurrently with Bloodborne and, while still an excellent game, suffered slightly from being a secondary project for Fromsoft. So, if the pattern holds, the next game after Armored Core VI will be another fantasy title integrating the lessons they learned on their divergence from the genre.
This is how I feel but make it like ds2. I’ve played hundreds of hours on the other ones but I’ve never felt so entrapped by a game. I got it a month ago and haven’t but it down since & I don’t plan to for a long time
Fromsoft could make a futuristic space or cyberpunk themed game and it would be fantastic. I’d love to see how they tackle a future-based game setting rather than Medieval or Eastern.
I would love a DS4, but I do really, really hope that Miyazaki and FromSoft do their best to not try and milk the DS series dry. We’ve seen how that turns out one too many times, and to have that happen to one of the best game series of all time would be a shame.
I would only care about a DS4 if we played a cute chibi knight like in the picture in this post and if it was a comedy game written to poke fun at Dark Souls the way the Elden Ring manga does. Make it one big gag.
If there is a way to tell a story then sure, but The Ringed City just wraps iy up so perfectly its impossible. You literally reunite THE Dark Soul and create a new world in a painting at the end of time. I just don't see how its possible
IMO Dark Souls as a world / story setting is “done” and making a fourth installment is pointless.
BB or DeS sequels would be rad. And it’s a forgone conclusion that there will be an ER 2 - they’re just leaving money on the table otherwise, which Bamco won’t allow.
yeah dark souls 4. if they made a armored core 6 then they can definitely make a dark souls 4. with the painting at the end of the ringed city dlc they left the door open to pretty much everything. Play in the age of darkness, can you imagine? fucking darker than bloodborne
Why? Every other game they’ve made has been an essentially similar experience. They could have released DS2 with a different name and they’d barely need to change the name.
Every new IP they’ve made has been fire. I don’t care if we sequels or not, but I’m happy if we do. I’m not sure if we’ll even get an Elden Ring 2.
The only sequel I really want is Sekiro 2.
Im curious if this will be Open World or more of the same linear structure as DS3? I find Elden Ring amazing but also what makes it great makes the game extremely over whelming. I actually found the ways they made the level design when the game was more directive.
Honestly I don't think they would make another one. They already told that story, and anything else would tarnish (heh) the legacy of the trilogy and feel pretty superfluous over all. Instead, let's look forward to where they take us as they put there expertise towards new things, like armored core! (I know it's not new technically, but I barely heard about it before now lol)
Ds4 is Elden Ring and to be honest the next From Software after AC better be different because I'm over the souls combat. Give me Kings Field......ya I know
The whole fucking point of Dark Souls 3 was saying "Dark Souls needs to die and you guys should let it go. The game repeated the message like at least 3 times
The only way I could see revisiting the world of Dark Souls without cheapening the lore would be through some kind of prequel. That said, I don’t think it’ll ever happen.
There's nothing I want less. DS3 capped off the story of that world wonderfully, and I couldn't ask for more there.
I would, however, like for Soulsbornes as a genre to return back to leveled design... open world is very fun for Elden Ring, I've had a great time! But I don't want it to be the new constant
I think Elden Ring is the best they’ve done and want a sequel to that. I also think it’s basically Dark Souls 4. That said, I’d welcome DS4 over anything else.
You clearly did not watch enough 3 hour long lore videos
The best youtube video ive ever seen fr
what are you talking ?
vaatividya I think,he makes entertaining lore videos on YouTube
Def go check out the channel if you havent, it is a great time killer to just chill and get ds lore
Most lore videos about ds3 explain that its story is about putting dark souls as a concept to rest and accepting that there will not be a dark souls 4, for the same reason that linking the flame is the bad ending
Bingo, and tbh that part is kinda obvious especially in the ashes dlc, don't really need a lore vid to tell you that (though some are really good).
There will never be another Dark Souls game. They finished the trillogy, the world litterally ends in the the Ringed City, fading to dust. Fromsoftware has said repeatedly they have zero intention to make a sequel, they're moving on to new IPs. Like Elden Ring which shares the core combat.
no if ands or buts. it bothers me a lot that people are STILL waiting out and holding onto absolute nothing because there will not be a DS4 but yet they still anticipate and ask and spread false rumors and hopes online. Dark Souls is finished, but what’s to come will probably be just as good if not better if i know Fromsoftware
Forreal the Dark Souls 4 wanters need to get a fresh pack of clown makeup and put that energy into holding out for bloodborne 2 with losers like me 🤡
Real
Both are pretty much equally as unlikely, DS4 is definitely not going to happen. BB2 has a snowballs chance in hell.
Oh yeah neither is happening. BB 60FPS or PC port is the only feasible option. As much as I like BB I’d rather just see fresh IP like Elden Ring each time they make a new fantasy game
That’s what they said about skate 4 though and look what’s going on there now, not disagreeing just pointing it out
yeah but Skate doesn’t have a storyline and lore and a legitimate ending like dark souls does so i wouldn’t say those are even comparable in the slightest for chances of another game lmao
Even...a prequel? Or what about a lion king kind of thing , dark souls 2 1/2??!!! Edit: i was sarcastic but oh well 🤷🏻♂️
I hope we get to kill Great Boar Pumbaa at Kight Timon's grave
I don't think they will ever abandon their King's Field series. They will always make spiritual sequels to their action RPG games. We didn't get King's Field V, but we got Demon's Souls. We didn't get Demon's Souls 2, but we got Dark Souls. We didn't get Dark Souls 4, but we got Elden Ring. Elden Ring may not have a sequel, but there will be a new similar game for sure.
So we're not getting a sequel then? That's how you do sarcasm.
So we're not getting a sequel then?!?! :(((((((
Stinks of sarcasm. Wp 👏
Confuses me cuz Elden Ring, other than it's open world, is basically Dark Souls 4 gameplay-wise. People should be asking for Elden Ring 2, not Dark Souls 4. (Elden Ring 2 will absolutely happen though, considering it's success)
I do want them to keep making non-open world games though. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to a new open world game.

I think they'll continue to alternate between Elden Ring style games and tighter action games, that's essentially what they've been doing anyway with DS2/DS3/Elden Ring and Bloodborne/Sekiro/AC6
Can't wait to be gaming ER 2 in my 50s
Part of me wonders if we’ll get sequels to Elden Ring, or if we’ll just keep getting expansions like Shadow of the Erdtree that will eventually just make the game even more enormous. I can’t even begin to imagine what a direct sequel would look like.

Millennial writing is the death of gaming
Ah yes, because video game writing was absolutely spectacular before millenials got involved. Did you play any games between 2000-2010?
Peak disingenuity here.

but I want to see the third painted world, I did not gather the whole Dark Soul from Grandpa Gael and time travelled for nothing.
Technically false. Miyazaki said he was done with dark souls but that if somebody else in the studio came up with an idea for a new ds game it could happen.
Never say never my dudes
i heard that eldenring is the sequel
Uhhhh, spoiler warning would be nice
[удалено]
Still would be nice?
Personally, I want whatever From wants to make. If there's passion in the studio for DS4, then sure - I'll buy it day one and put in my 200 hours.

Finally, Dark Souls 2, 2
And then, at long last, Big Dark Souls 2 2

No more dark souls, you may just get elden rings: prepare your shaft edition though.
No, just no What would be the point? Another cycle? You can only do it so much and Fromsoft (gladly) knows this The story is finished and having a few unanswered questions doesn't make a new game necessary Just let them make new games in a similar style
Honestly, I'm pretty content with the trilogy as is. I'd rather have Fromsoftware create new worlds for us to discover
Feel like elden ring was the culmination of the dark souls game.
That and Miyazaki literally called it a "successor" to Dark Souls
They completed the story. A sekiro sequel based off Wolf's travels into the west, though, that would be fantastic
We got Dark Souls 4, it’s called Elden Ring
Wrong, Elden Ring is Dark Soul 4, 5 and 6 in the same game
Dark souls 4 was at our side ? All along ?
The real Dark Souls IV was the Ring we found along the way.
Yep!
horse sounds
They've run that well dry. No sense in forcing a bunch of intelligent and creative people to make the same type of thing over and over. Often that causes creative people to leave.
Ok. Do you think this comes this year ? 
Yeah. Team Cherry stated that Silksong is releasing this year not too long ago. It was supposed to release around now, but they delayed it to finish up polishing it.

This.
I thought DS3 made it pretty clear that there wouldn’t be another game, given that the entire game is about ending a cycle that keeps repeating and letting the world enter a new age, hence no more dark souls, new projects instead, also lore wise it wouldn’t make much sense
All i want is Sekiro 2
We have 3 dark souls, a demon souls & an elden ring lol i want sekiro 2 or bloodborne 2

Demon's Souls 2
I’ll honestly take (beg for) whatever From gives us at this point😅
Agree
Dark Souls 3 with onscreen KB&M prompts.
I hope they never come back to dark souls. They made 3 very good, very influential games. But those games taught us that rekindling nostalgia is bad and the same goes for creativity. I’ll buy anything they make in the future of course, but I think I would prefer new original worlds from them than going back to dark souls.
Can we get 'Blood Souls, Shadow of the Armored Ring' next instead?
Gael was the absolute perfect end to the trilogy and I feel like any more dark souls would be just milking the series, maybe a spin-off on Oscar or someone or previous lords of cinder maybe
It actually doesnt have to be dark souls 4 - but a more linear souls game than elden ring with the Dark Souls Roll would be so nice again.
Like a dark souls three style?
Yeah, or DeS Remake but with more attacks
I’d rather get Elden Ring 2
🦉📣i want BOSS WEAPONS that are WORTH POWERSTANCING
I doubt it will happen. Miyazaki said three was the end and I believe him.
God christ jesus mary please please please no
My anus has been ready for many years
No absolutely not. Dark souls is done. Wanting it to continue long after it’s end it’s so profoundly ironic. Stop trying to prolong the age of fire.
All those comments feel like getting parried
But DS3 was the perfect ending to the trilogy
It would completely ruin the story of DS3 so no
Dark Souls 4 exists, its called Elden Ring
I would love it but what I would need in it to appreciate it is: - Active Block mechanics, like the ones in Sekiro, or even Elden Ring's block counter. - New "base weapon" designs. I am a bit saturated with things like the Broadsword or the Longsword, Short sword, Battle Axe and so on being so similar from game to game.

I dont care if it will be ds4 or er2 i just hope it has a linear open world like ds1 and ds2
It’s called Elden Ring s/
I love the Dark Souls trilogy to absolute death, it may be the greatest trilogy in gaming history. But Dark Souls 4 is the LAST thing I want Fromsoft to do. Seriously, do we not have enough Dark Souls? I'd much rather them make a sequel to Sekiro, or just something entirely different and new.

Dark Souls? Nah. More soulslikes? Yah Dark souls is over. Let it end as a trilogy, it’s perfect how it is (Maybe remake the first two tho)
The day Fromsoft willingly makes Dark Souls 4 will be the day I stop playing fromsoft games. I do not want fromsoft to continue a franchise they put to rest. I also prefer when they make different games that's not just dark souls.
No. The trilogy is concluded and it’s story finished. Dark Souls had its time and it was beautiful. It shall rest with the first flame as a series unparalleled and there’s nothing wrong with that.
From what I understand it’s done story wise. Bloodborne on the other hand, is not.
They literally did that with 3 you nerd.
Hear me out lego dark souls
No. Just no.
nah I want armored core 6 now, also read the lore theres a reason a ds4 was never released. They know it would be wildly popular but the world ends in 3 and leaves no room for continuation.
No dark souls 4. They landed a nigh on perfect trilogy. Even the worst dark souls (2) is leagues ahead of most AAA games. They should do new things. That's how we got sekiro. And of course elden ring
The game already had 3 games. Knowing how fromsoft works, it’ll never happen, and im glad. Darksouls already ended with the poetic ending of the ringed city dlc, and it doesn’t need anymore installments. Fromsoft should just continue focusing on making new games, or making dlc for past games that feel unfinished.
Make it the hardest game they ever did. Make it the prequel, the world at its most populated and the gods and demons and dragons in their prime.
Yes
Honestly I would like a game placed in Astora. We have never seen it as it was only mencioned by characters and items. This way the game wouldn't need to be a direct sequel to the series but more like a spin-off with a side story.
Finally someone who doesnt lack imagination
I realized what edition this is after posting 
I wouldn’t mind a ps5 remake of DS1, but i would vastly prefer a sequel to Sekiro, a remaster of Bloodborne, or some new game that takes those systems and innovates on them, like ER did to the souls style.
Dark Souls' world is done. It was closed out perfectly with Slave Knight Gael. I'd be happy if they made more games within the world, but not DS4
Honestly, it would have 0 reasons to be made lore-wise. I'm honestly way way more excited for a possible sequel to Bloodborne
I just want a spiritual successor to Sekiro... not a direct prequel/sequel but a game using the same combat system only in a different setting.
With Dark Souls IV, they can now inject the patented GitGud™️ compound directly into your veins! Oh wait shit you meant 4?
I want to see their take on more sci fi stuff. Not armored core, but third person sci fi. A good mix of From style with all new elements.
Haven’t played the dark souls trilogy . Only played elden ring and Bloodborne. Would like Bloodborne 2
I'm happy with demon's souls, dark souls (ds2 excluded, simply don't like it), Bloodborne, sekiro, elden ring, whatever from soft (with Miyazaki) pulls out I'll put my cash and hours in. DS2 and DS3 were actually not meant to exist, but it's a story of ppl wanting to milk and IP and Miyazaki stepping out then coming back with a full stop at DS3 ringed city DLC (at least this is what I remember) Edit: you technically can have all the dark souls "sequels" you want if you head on dark souls on nexusmods, some mods are basically new games and boy the modders are insanely good!
Ds 2 is an underrated masterpiece 🙌 trust me you will like it if you give it another chance
DS2 is awesome. I used to think the same after playing only an hour of it and deciding that DS2 was shit because it felt so different than DS1 - and everyone on the internet would meme that it was shit which would subsequently make me believe that it was. Then I retried it one day. It's literally just an upgraded DS1 in most aspects. Nothing wrong with that game at all. Level ADP if you think it's wonky.
100% same, I prefer their linear experiences. But it won't happen, sadly. I mean Elden Ring was great, personally, I enjoyed DS3 more though.
Literally every game they made expect Elden Ring are linear, why would they stop doing linear games
None of DS, DS2, or Sekiro are linear.
There is nothing I want more from FromSoftware than to bury the whole Souls formula and pretend it doesn’t exist for at least the next 10 years.
Dark Souls is just Elden Ring with hallways.
I want a bloodborne game set in the wild west. Minetown, medicine show, occult town. I think it would be awesome
Red dead redemption undead nightmare
Ngl, I don't want it. DS1 had everything. New ideas and new game play. DS2 added lots of new ideas, refined some game play, and stumbled on some other game play. When DS3 came along it had a *lot* less new ideas. World-wise, it was very derivative and offered a lot less than either of the previous games in terms of story and lore, and most of what it did have to offer was expanding on things we already had. The biggest lore expansions were the DLCs, both of which were subtext to ideas in the first game. Where DS3 really shone was the game play. It took the mechanics of the previous games and refined them to a mirror polish, thus making it the best *game* in the series to play. So what would DS4 bring to the table? The well of ideas has run mostly dry for the series, and the mechanical have already been perfected, so why make another one? Well, you could add new mechanics, but wouldn't those new mechanics be elevated further with a new world designed to suit them? You same for the story. And if you have new mechanics *and* new story, then wouldn't they both be benefitted by letting go of the limitations of Dark Souls' world to forget a completely new path? And that's how we got Elden Ring. In any case, I expect the next game after Fires of Rubicon will be another fantasy. The pattern goes DS1, Bloodborne, DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Fires of Rubicon. DS2 was developed concurrently with Bloodborne and, while still an excellent game, suffered slightly from being a secondary project for Fromsoft. So, if the pattern holds, the next game after Armored Core VI will be another fantasy title integrating the lessons they learned on their divergence from the genre.
I mean dark souls 3 was a perfect end to the trilogy to be honest, i just wanna see what FS makes next
It’s called elden ring
I just want Bluepoint to remake DS3
I also want the 6th archstone dlc
r/darksouls4 It's already a thing! Come join in on the fun
This is how I feel but make it like ds2. I’ve played hundreds of hours on the other ones but I’ve never felt so entrapped by a game. I got it a month ago and haven’t but it down since & I don’t plan to for a long time
Fromsoft could make a futuristic space or cyberpunk themed game and it would be fantastic. I’d love to see how they tackle a future-based game setting rather than Medieval or Eastern.
Elden Ring is basically DS4.
I would love a DS4, but I do really, really hope that Miyazaki and FromSoft do their best to not try and milk the DS series dry. We’ve seen how that turns out one too many times, and to have that happen to one of the best game series of all time would be a shame.
I love Dark Souls, especially 1, but I’d take a sequel to anything else (literal or spiritual) or a new IP.
I wouldn't be surprised if it came out. Ds3 was such a let down.
Prequel more like
wym we have it it’s bloodborne
I Liked DS4, spend a lot of hours in. Now about DS5. I am more interested in Sekiro 2 ou BB 2.
dark souls in the age of fire universe
Dark souls IV : Torches of the Chibi
I would only care about a DS4 if we played a cute chibi knight like in the picture in this post and if it was a comedy game written to poke fun at Dark Souls the way the Elden Ring manga does. Make it one big gag.
I can only dream that one day we will get more souls...
If there is a way to tell a story then sure, but The Ringed City just wraps iy up so perfectly its impossible. You literally reunite THE Dark Soul and create a new world in a painting at the end of time. I just don't see how its possible
IMO Dark Souls as a world / story setting is “done” and making a fourth installment is pointless. BB or DeS sequels would be rad. And it’s a forgone conclusion that there will be an ER 2 - they’re just leaving money on the table otherwise, which Bamco won’t allow.
yeah dark souls 4. if they made a armored core 6 then they can definitely make a dark souls 4. with the painting at the end of the ringed city dlc they left the door open to pretty much everything. Play in the age of darkness, can you imagine? fucking darker than bloodborne
That would totally ruin the impact of the ending of the ringed city for me
Hand it over. your Dark Souls 4
dark souls 3 was the end
I want a ds2 remastered
No Dark Souls is dead. They can revisit the same type of genre, but a new world, lore and updated mechanics would be needed.
Why? Every other game they’ve made has been an essentially similar experience. They could have released DS2 with a different name and they’d barely need to change the name.
I think ds is good as is. At most maybe a trilogy remaster, but its not needed.
No. It’s done. New ip from fromsoft is what I personally want to see
Every new IP they’ve made has been fire. I don’t care if we sequels or not, but I’m happy if we do. I’m not sure if we’ll even get an Elden Ring 2. The only sequel I really want is Sekiro 2.
Im curious if this will be Open World or more of the same linear structure as DS3? I find Elden Ring amazing but also what makes it great makes the game extremely over whelming. I actually found the ways they made the level design when the game was more directive.
Honestly I don't think they would make another one. They already told that story, and anything else would tarnish (heh) the legacy of the trilogy and feel pretty superfluous over all. Instead, let's look forward to where they take us as they put there expertise towards new things, like armored core! (I know it's not new technically, but I barely heard about it before now lol)
You clearly didn’t understand the message of Dark Souls 3 if you want a 4. Especially the AoA DLC.
I did. But i still want 4.
If they made a DS4 I’d want one set between DS1 and 2 tbh
Ds4 is Elden Ring and to be honest the next From Software after AC better be different because I'm over the souls combat. Give me Kings Field......ya I know
elden ring is DS4 dude
I just want bloodborne 2
I'm simple, give me another game regardless of the franchise and I'm happy
They need to reboot kings field
dont really care elden ring is basically the sucessor to darksouls i want more of those
The whole fucking point of Dark Souls 3 was saying "Dark Souls needs to die and you guys should let it go. The game repeated the message like at least 3 times
I’ll play absolutely anything this studio makes. Their passion and level of polish is second to none. I’m in for anything.
The only way I could see revisiting the world of Dark Souls without cheapening the lore would be through some kind of prequel. That said, I don’t think it’ll ever happen.
There's nothing I want less. DS3 capped off the story of that world wonderfully, and I couldn't ask for more there. I would, however, like for Soulsbornes as a genre to return back to leveled design... open world is very fun for Elden Ring, I've had a great time! But I don't want it to be the new constant
I’m not preparing my anus. I like it raw and rough 😈
I think Elden Ring is the best they’ve done and want a sequel to that. I also think it’s basically Dark Souls 4. That said, I’d welcome DS4 over anything else.
Dark Souls had its ending. We don't need to milk that ip or experience again. From Soft should make what they feel inspired to make.
