Sad news for fans of the "Dark Souls" franchise as From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki has just confirmed that they won't be making another installment of the game series.
This will mean an end of an era for the action role-playing video game and fans are sure wondering why Miyazaki decided to end it. In an interview with Game Spot, he said that should they continue with the series, it won't be a wise decision plus it wasn't his decision alone, but everybody from From software shared the same sentiments.
"I don't think it'd be the right choice to continue indefinitely creating Souls and Bloodborne games. I'm considering Dark Souls 3 to be the big closure on the series. That's not just limited to me, but From Software and myself together want to aggressively make new things in the future," he said.
"I believe that From Software has to create new things. There will be new types of games coming from us, and Dark Souls 3 is an important marker in the evolution of From Software."
With that said, Game Spot asked the president what's next for the company. He said that he have some great ideas on hand that he believes many gamers will find cool. But, he'll keep it in his stash of secrets for the meantime.
"I don't find it fun or productive to envision what the direction should be for the genres or the industry as a whole," Miyazaki said. "I don't believe in a top-down approach to that sort of thing. On a personal level, however, I certainly have ideas for what might be interesting to do and what would be cool. [Laughs] But those ideas can be linked to concepts for our upcoming games, so I won't give you too many details on that."
