Despite it’s critical and financial success, it appears that the Dark Souls series is over in the realm of video games. This news comes from Hidetaka Miyazaki, who stated in an interview with GGN (that was translated by NeoGaf users) that there are no plans for any sequels or spin-offs to the Dark Souls series, marking Dark Souls 3 as the conclusion of the series. Miyazaki stated: “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 what is next for From Software? The plan is for a new direction and IP. “I think it’s time we take a step to a new direction,” explained Miyazaki. “Development

The Dark Souls franchise is still seen as niche by many gamers but the series has grown out of its cult status from Demon’s Souls into a series that attracts millions of fans. The uncompromising difficulty, huge open worlds and unique mechanics have proven to be a hit with role-playing players and Famitsu has now revealed that the sales of the two Dark Souls games across all platforms has reached an impressive 8 million copies worldwide. What is interesting is that despite From Software being a Japanese developer, the series hasn’t fared particularly well in their home country. Sales in Japan are only around a fifth of the total sales from other territories, with the number of copies sold hovering around 300,000 per title. The breakdown for the figures includes the fact that the first Dark Souls title has sold more than 5 million units, with 3.25 million of those on PC. Meanwhile, Dark Souls 2 has moved around 2 million copies while Scholar of the First Sin and the

Is Dark Souls The New Benchmark for Gaming?

Is Dark Souls The New Benchmark for Gaming? Gaming has always had its benchmark titles; those games that stand out head and shoulders above the rest, those that set the trends other studios work towards or try to best. These seminal titles are considered to be the benchmarks of which other games, and sequels, are judged; particularly within specific genres. Every so often, with increasing rarity in an industry which relies heavily on sequels and franchises, a game comes along and sets a new benchmark. For the best part of the last decade, the Grand Theft Auto series have been those titles, spawning countless clones and rivals to the throne. Prior to GTA3 on the PS2, the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games had been the standout titles. Thinking even further back, platforming Gods Mario and Sonic were the superstars of countless iterations of their games. During the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, the generation which is currently coming towards a close, gamers witnessed the rise of the formidable first-person shooter with super heavyweights

During the pre E3 conference, gamers saw the much rumoured and speculated Project Beast announced as Bloodborne. Developed by From Software, the Japanese team behind the Souls games, Bloodborne is a new RPG that looks like it will follow in the morbidly dark and terrifying style of the Souls games and Bloodborne will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive and will launch in 2015. Here’s the first world premiere trailer of first footage from Bloodborne; Bloodborne challenges players to face their fears, and it’s already looking pretty awesome. The trailer weighs in at a fairly generous 3 minutes and contains some noteworthy action – most excitingly the changing weapon that, who we assume to be, the lead character is killing enemies with. It initially seems to be embedded in an enemy in the form of a saw, before changing into a giant sword and then later in the trailer possibly a gun. One weapon serving multiple functions could add some really interesting gameplay to Bloodborne – a boss battle vulnerable to different
