New IP has started development at From, no more Dark Souls sequels, and more.

Hey guys, hope you’re enjoying Dark Souls III as much as I am! The launch has been a real success and I cannot wait to see what FromSoftware introduces for their next catalog of video games.

Q: How many DLCs will there be?
A: We will make three large DLCs as planned. First one will be out in Fall 2016, Second one in Early 2017, Third one doesn’t have a date yet.

This was a mistranslation on GNN’s part, there will only be two expansions for Dark Souls III.

Q: I know you said there won’t be any sequels and Dark Souls 3 marks the end of the series. But is this world really coming to an end? Is there a chance there would be some kind of DLC, spin-offs or tie-in novels set in this world?

A: Dark Souls 3 will be have several DLCs like previous games. But there’s absolutely no plan right now for any sequels, spin-offs or tie-ins. But I can’t say for certain the possibility is 0%.

For example, if a FROM Software developer come to me five years from now and beg ‘please let me make another Dark Souls‘. Then I will not rule out the possibility to let my subordinates start a new project.

What is certain for now is, to me personally Dark Souls is over. So rather than make another sequel, I think it’s time we take a step to a new direction. Development of a new IP has already begun.

Despite the first bolded text, a Bloodborne II is more than likely happening. Sony has ownership, and it was a critical success in both sales and reviews. Miyazaki is more than likely talking about the Dark Souls universe, exclusively.

Also, a brand new IP is in the works! We probably won’t see it for a while, though.

Q: So we won’t be seeing a Demons’s Souls sequel or remaster any time soon?

A: We want to try making new things.

Get Bluepoint games to develop the remaster!

Q: What about Armored Core sequel?

A: Personally I want to do it. After all I was involved in three games in the series.Armored Core is one of the pillars of FROM Software’s lineup, but I can’t reveal anything at the moment.
