Bloodborne 2: The hunt of the Great Ones.

[@NiaTheMilkTank]

DS4 won't ever happen simply because the lore is finished, there is no way to continue it without ruining DS3. They are moving on to their other MANY IP's, Elden Ring 2 seems more likely if they ever decide to make one and there is a legitimate continue point IF they take Ranni's Age of Stars ending alongside all the outer gods that are still unknown

Hopefully we go back to more classic dark fantasy world too

[@StarBoundFables]

A SciFi-style game that's on par with Elden Ring's 'darkness-level' would be great. I find too grim gets depressing, like Remnant 2's: Yaesha (magical forests) are more enjoyable for me than Lossom's hopeless backstreets. But Lossom's elven palaces are epic. Another cool feature to see would be flying mounts... I'd love Torrent to sprout wings & go all pegasus-style battle mode on a dragon... LoL. It would affect exploration so much, which is a masterpiece in Elden Ring, that's why I'm curious to see how FromSoft would pull it off. Lastly, please don't make games exclusive On my to-play list (for games that aren't out yet): ->SW: OutLaws ->Dragon Age: Veilguard ->WuKong ->AC: Shadows ->Enshrouded (when it comes to Xbox) ->'Kingdom Come Deliverance 2' looks amazing, especially since I'm a historical fencing practitioner. Longsword + 'Rapier & Dagger' are my favourite sparring matchups, & I love medieval history. But, in stories, I easily get bored of all characters being white Europeans... w/ men having a vast majority of dominant positions. So, we'll see if they manage to pull off the gameplay in a way I'd enjoy For 2025 & beyond: ->Fable ->Avowed ->Eternal Strands ->Crimson Desert Have a great day!

On the bright side, Konami is perfectly capable of producing a Souls-like Castlevania entirely of their own accord, which I suspect they will, and Castlevania games are already Souls-like in many ways (it's more accurate to say Souls games are Castlevania likes, but in 3D...and harder). Capcom is also entirely capable of doing it with Onimusha; however, with the show failing, the remaster failing, and Capcom owning it with Monster Hunter and Resident Evil, I highly doubt they will turn to Souls for Onimusha. They'd rather do something with Monster Hunter.

[@dificulttocure]

Dark Souls 4 will never come. Miyazaki already told us that in the Ds3 Ashes of Ariandel DLC. Ashes of Ariandel is a very clear (and I think, very much intentional) metaphor to what Miyazaki thinks about the Dark Souls series as a whole. I will explain: The paintings in Dark Souls are works of arts, but they are also worlds that people can inhabit. This is pretty much what a videogame is. The paintings, then, represent videogames. The painting of Ariamis in Dark Souls one represents Dark Souls one. The painting of Ariandel in Ds3 represents Dark souls 3 (and more broadly, the whole Dark Souls series). It is described as a restoration of the painting of Ariamis, again fitting the metaphor perfectly as Ds3 can be seen as "a restoration" of Ds1 (you know, how they share a lot of thematic elements like Anor Londo). So, what is the story of the DLC Ashes of Ariandel exactly and what is Miyazaki trying to tell us there? Well, the story is about a painting that is rotting, that is to say, a videogame series that has become stale and uninteresting. The painter lady represents Miyazaki himself and her will is to set the painting on fire, for the sake of her next painting. She needs to destroy the old world so the rot doesn't contaminate her next work of art. This means Miyazaki wants to craft a new videogame and this videogame needs to be a new IP so it doesn't get contaminated with all the lore and accumulated history of the previous IP (Dark Souls). This new videogame is of course, Elden Ring. But to create Elden Ring Miyazaki first needs to end the Dark Souls series (set the old painting on fire to destroy the rot). Sister Friede represents us, the souls community that cannot accept the ending of the Dark Souls series. It represents the people that choose rot over fire, because "rotted as it is, Ariandel (Dark Souls) is still our home". But this goes against the painter's (Miyazaki's) intentions. It is no coincidence she is the villain in this story. The painter says that in order to create her new painting she needs to see fire to get inspired and that she also needs the blood of the Dark Soul to use as a pigment, she also says that very interesting and memorable quote: "Those who aren't ken to fire cannot paint a world. Those absorbed by fire, must not paint a world." So what does all of this mean in the metaphor? Fire, in this case, represents artistic intention and the will to create art. One must be ken to fire in order to pursue an artistic vision and create art (be it a painting or a videogame). However being absorbed by fire means succumbing to greed and creating art just for money, this is what the painter (Miyazaki) warns us against, as this is something very common when it comes to creating videogames. The painter using the blood of the Dark Soul as the pigment for her new painting is very straightfoward. "The blood of the Dark Soul" represents the essence of the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki is telling us that although the Dark Souls series is ending, it's essence (core mechanics, gameplay, etc) will live on in a new form, as it will be the basis he will use to create his new videogame (Elden Ring). So, this is why there will be no Dark Souls 4. Miyazaki is simply quiet done with the Dark Souls series, and just as we set fire to the painting of Ariandel, he has done the same with the Dark Souls IP.

[@qualiswilliams7403]

Sekiro could use a two...tho beloved by the community beyond the community most people avoid it because of the get gud system. The get gud system wasn't the problem it was the mechanics around the get gud system that was the problem. To many limitations compared to most action RPGs

[@Stangrex]

It'll probably be something closer to Lies of P, with Sekiro gadgets they can make the bosses a LOT more in-depth and unique. The final DLC boss seems to be a prototype of this, albeit a crappy one since it forces you to play certain ways to avoid attacks.

SEKIRO 2, I BEG YOU MIYAZAKI Explanation; the smooth, easy-to-learn but hard to master combat of Sekiro is the most satisfying thing I’ve ever experienced in a game, since unlike Elden Ring it’s completely rhythmic and block-focused, and I would love for Fromsoft to continue into that area and stray away from the usual dodging simulator. There’s only so many times we’ll be given a dodging sim until we get bored of it. And Sekiro, in my opinion, has the most clear potential for story continuation, as much as Bloodborne, ALSO i think sekiro has the most potential for combat and gameplay improvement, as what if they introduce a second weapon to the katana? Or change their movement system to change up the grappling and running? Or even do an OPEN WORLD SEKIRO… idk man i see so much potential.

[@julian_whiteway]

Huge one missing here I feel, as I'll be shocked if their next game isn't a non-numbered sequel to Armored Core VI. Every numbered AC has had a non-numbered sequel which builds on the tech and ideas of the first game released within two years, and VI was a huge success for the series after being brought back for the first time in years. The mission-based structure of AC titles also lend themselves to a faster turnaround than the structure of the Soulsborne games. I'm thinking we see a non-numbered AC sequel in 2025 before whatever the next Miyazaki-directed title is in 2026, which I do think will be a new IP.

[@nicolobraghini1546]

To be fair, the mini-sequels they used to make for AC were a characteristic of games in the past, when it was easier to make a stand alone sequel rather than selling a DLC. Monster Hunter did the same. In 2024 I see a big DLC more likely to happen rather than an AC 6.5. But I can't be sure yet

@@nicolobraghini1546 fair points, but personally I think they'll have a hard time selling the idea of a DLC for a game which only sold 3 million units to a publisher, though - obviously it was huuuuuuuuge for AC, but in the grand scheme of From projects, spending 2 years on DLC available to a maximum of 3 million players rather than creating a new game isn't a great way to grow a brand they've only just brought back imo.

[@julian_whiteway]

@@zero1487 sure, but that's only because it's been a long time since we've had a new Armored Core anyways. The next game could totally be a VII if they do away with non-numbered sequels, personally I like the idea of carrying over some parts and designs which I think they'll be less likely to do with a numbered sequel. If you compare the design philosophy of AC to Souls there's no real reason to not have a fast turnaround on the next game unless they just didn't get right to work on it, it invites asset reuse and uses a mission-based structure. Based on what Miyazaki has said before about wanting to bring AC back, it'd be strange to me to bring it back, have the best sales they've had for an AC game ever, and then bury it until after Shadow of the Erdtree and whatever the next Soulsborne title is. It's still a relatively niche IP despite VI's good sales for the series, which for me suggests it'd be a perfect palette cleanser between Shadow of the Erdtree and the next Miyazaki-helmed title.

[@Slow1337ex]

I think I've had enough of Elden Ring for now. I love the traditional Dark Souls/Elden Ring style of games, but I also loved Bloodborne and Sekiro, part because of their fresh takes upon the formula, and I feel like I'm more in the mood for a new game like this up next. Also, I think that an Elden Ring 2 or spiritual sequel should innovate and change some aspects, because if it remains largely the same I fear it could start to become stale. I like to brainstorm what kind of things they could make, both for a new IP with souls dna in it or for a spiritual successor to Elden Ring/Elden Ring 2. - Change the UI. Make something better than having to scroll through 10 spells. Let us have something that facilitates using different spells in sequence, for example. - If they want to pivot more into a style of game that deviates from a very basic framwork of mostly normal attacks and basic spells and ever so rarely something fancier to something flashier and more diverse for the player character, maybe something like a system of dynamic combos would be great, where you could active certain moves by doing certain combos in a certain way, with certain magics or skills (being able to equip multiple ashes of war would be cool too) taking on a different effects depending on when you use it. It could have some practical effects like this: X magic has a standard combo. When using the magic while you're doing a sword combo, it becomes a dual magic/sword moveset. If you use Y magic right after the 3 attack combo of a greatsword, a special attack is unleashed. If you use Z magic after using A ash of war, an extension of that ash of war is unleashed. If you use ash of war B right after ash of war A, an alternative move is unleashed. - magic becoming weapons, with normal attack combos and not consuming fp, and having only "special attacks" that could apply both to magic and melee be the ones to consume FP and needing the special attunnement slot. - rework the way this poise/hyper armor bullshit works in these games. Risking being hit is already a tradeoff enough for all of these long spells and skills. Being interrupted all the time if you're not using the heaviest armor in the game is just bad design. Just have us being interrupted by the heaviest hitting attacks and design the skills thinking of the trading as the risk in the risk/reward factor. The system as it is just makes sense for PVP, but not for PVE at all. - make something more dynamic than just dodge rolling to dodge. Maybe implement dodging and deflecting in the same game like Lies of P. Maybe implement a way to dodge attacks while you're attacking with skills or casting, with some limitation like being harder to pull it off (that would be cool and could be a solution to the hyper armor problem). Or have us being able to equip different styles of dodges. Can you imagine having something like bloodhound's step in a dex build and something like floating in a mage build? - a long time ago I had this idea for a Bloodborne sequel that was having a mechanic to build weapons. Lies of P does this in a way, but From could do it in a different way. For example: attach an edge to a pole and it becomes a spear. Attach a furnace to the spear head and it unlocks special attacks in which it causes explosions or bursts of fire in certain attacks. Parts would be interchangeable anytime. Furthermore, with that system having a part on this or not, just evolve the trick weapon system, give weapons more forms, and thus more attacks and more combo possibilities.

[@mrbobert6312]

Miyazaki pretty much said that there's not going to be a part 2 to Elden Ring, because the story is already complete and it was very tiring making it, because it's such a big game. I think they'll make something completely new, no sequels and nothing as big as Elden Ring. Probably a smaller game that can be completed in 8 hours or less.

Sekiro initially began as a Tenchu reboot, but evolved into a different IP, hence the reason why the stealth mechanics are so similar and Activision's involvement as publisher.

[@andypina4478]

If I don't remember wrong, Miyazaki in an interview (don't remember which) he said that his next game will be more focused on magic. If we notice, most of the games you play as a knight/tank character, with th3 exceptions of sekiro and bloodborne. I would guess that this game they're developing now, in case they were developing a more magic based game, the mechanics for the mage combat would be more fluid and less stationary, like it is in dark souls games where your character has to almost completely stop moving to any direction in order to cast a spell or incantation. I would like to see that. But again, I am guessing, I could be wrong in everything I just said.

[@MorelloZzT7]

That's been reportedly rumored as a game given the codename "Spellbound." I'm really interested in that.

I know that FromSoftware said they had no plans on doing anything after Shadow of the Erdtree, but there’s absolutely no damn way they had 0 plans with ER since they completely bought the rights back from Bandco. I 100% believe if anything we’re getting some sort of 3rd party media as in a show or movie. As for the next reveal, I think if what ever FromSoft reveals next isn’t a new IP it’ll probably be the next 0.5 entry in the Armored Core VI. We know they’re making more, so I think it’ll come sooner than we expect.

[@tgb6823]

A lot of people are forgetting a key point when they refer to what Miyazaki said: yes, he might not have plans for a sequel to ER, but he also said he wants to allow the studio's other directors freedom to start their own projects. If one of his other directors want to do more Elden Ring, Dark Souls, or whatever content, according to Miyazaki, he would support them fully because he WANTS his other teams to grow and lessen the load on him. He's supposed to be the president, not a day to day dev which he admitted to doing way too much of. And I fully expect there to be an Elden Ring TV series in the same vein of Game of Thrones. There is no way people aren't making that connection given the money going around, heh.

Pleeeease be something like Dark Souls 1. I just want a Dark Souls but 20 times bigger with new gen graphics. Take away fast travel and go back to just massive legacy dungeons all interconnecting and looping into each other, going all the way into the sky, and all the way into the core of the Earth. I miss Dark Souls 1 world/level design so much, it's what's been missing sorely from every Fromsoft game since Dark Souls 1 (in my opinion). Miyazaki seems to have just been focusing on boss fights, but you can only make so many boss fights with catch roll delay attacks etc. until it'll just start feeling repetitive or not exciting anymore. I'd love if Miyazaki made something like Shadow of Colossus, mixed with Indiana Jones with souls-like mechanics, more wandering, climbing, puzzles, NPC interaction, mystery. Less spam and filler, like the catatombs, caves and mines that all feel the same like in Elden Ring. It's what disappointed me the Most in Elden Ring was how repetitive it was even making bosses feel less unique by making you fight them 2-3 times. Elden Ring almost punished you for exploring. That is my sole wish for the next title, probably an unpopular wish, but my wish nonetheless..

Fingers crossed, whether it's Fromsoft or some indie studio, I just want to feel that feeling I had playing Dark Souls 1 again for the first time. As much as I love Elden Ring it wasn't even close, with the exception of the legacy dungeons (Raya Lucaria Academy, Stormveil Castle, Leyndell capital, The Haligtree and maybe one other..) Those were Elden Rings saving grace in my opinion, without it all you have is just really challenging but epic nonetheless boss fights.. but it's not enough in my opinion.

I would love Miyazaki to explore mesoamerican or south american setting, plenty of untapped lore. It would be surreal, fresh territory and a joy to explore just like a conquistador back in 1500. And I think 9th gen consoles can pull of convincing jungles and rainforests. But this mishmash of aztec,maya,incan and amazonian culture might be too far from his typical european fantasy and cosmic horror or japanese culture comfort zone. In DS2 crown of the sunken king, with those Mayan/Aztec vibes was my favourite DLC but too limited by PS3 xvox 360 era so there was basically no vegetation.
