I don’t know if it would make sense for them to ever make Dark Souls 4 since Elden Ring is the more popular franchise and they’re probably going to stick with open world going forward. But I think it would be pretty sweet if they made a remake of Dark Souls with an open world or something.

    The creator of dark souls has stated that he doesn’t like making sequels and dark souls 2 and 3 where made before he became president of from software . So I wouldn’t expect dark souls 4 or Elden ring 2 . Or Bloodborne 2 despite the many articles about it .

    The story of Dark Souls concluded. I feel like it would be weird to continue after the series took us to the literal end of time.

    I would love to see a sequel to one of their other properties like Bloodborne, Elden Ring, or Sekiro.

    I would personally love to see another game in the style of Bloodborne. Maybe not a direct sequel but a different project in the same universe. That game was the pinnacle of Soulsborne games for me.

      Personally I’m not a fan of the open world part; the best parts of Elden Ring for me are the legacy dungeons and boss fights.

      Just left a comment saying the same thing. Miyazaki doesn’t like sequels and now that he is president of from software I don’t think we will be getting many sequels other than armoured core .

    If Bloodborne II doesn’t come out. I will be depressed for the rest of my life. And no, it doesn’t need to be open world. The beauty of Dark Souls was linear, interconnected spaces that felt open, and gave a sense of a larger world. Just my opinion.

    Honestly, I’m not sure. I haven’t played DS2-3, but wasn’t the trilogy pretty much finished? Not really sure where they’d take the story at this point.

    Elden Ring was quite divisive in its open-world approach, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they incorporated more open worlds in their upcoming games. I wouldn’t mind too much, but I prefer more focused experiences like Sekiro and Bloodborne to super open ones.

    Edit: Thinking about it again, there could very well be another Dark Souls installment somewhere down the line. Considering Elden Ring’s success and the fact that DS, more or less, brought FromSoft on the map of contemporary gaming, another DS game could be quite popular. The influx of new gamers trying Elden Ring surely would try their hands on a new DS game.
