They already have the Bloodborne IP that they can use in the future (if From feels like working on it). But why not let From create a fourth IP for them while having the freedom of something new? The more original IPs they have the better.

I kinda believe the rumor, Sony always had FromSoftware exclusives, now their relations are even stronger considering the KADOKAWA alience.
Greatness awaits.

LOL, almost all games are like this. That depends on what do you mean by "same".

I would pay a high price for a Miyazaki game that does not play in a mediaeval or Victorian setting again but instead uses a futuristic background and space travel. Ah well, one can dream...

One of most coveted IP? Bloodborne? LMAO. It’s not even top ten.

After the Kadokawa+Sony deal I'm 100% sure that once they release Elder Ring will focus on a 2nd party Sony game, which will be a Soulsborne. Call it Bloodbone 2, call it a spiritual sequel, call it a new ip, but I'm pretty sure it will be something like that.
Fixed it for you

IDK about that rumour, but Hermen seems to be more interested into investing on western panpan boumboum games so far.

Wasn't Demon's Souls the first? Or this deal came later?

Riddle me this - how does someone else enjoying the games/franchise they love affect your life? Are there not enough of variety games for you to play? With that notion maybe Nintendo should stop making Mario and Zelfda games. Good idea.
Why don't you go play My Barbie Adventures instead?

I will never forget those threads, the glory days of Verendus, ntmlk, and Demon, real prominent Sony and MS leakers. I miss old original gaf before the fascists took it over. :/

Way to miss my point. Damn a lot of you really didn't know this developer existed over 10 years ago lol

Bless us once more Miyazaki Sama.
This is the best exclusive I can ask for
(even if this is not real, Bloodborne and Dark souls are my top 10 favourite games of all time so would love this) demon souls and sekiro get my love too

From Software made around 40 exclusive games for Sony across all their home consoles and PSP. So forget that '3 games deal' idea, it must be totally fake. They are basically part of the family.
On top of that, Sony and From's parent company made a deal recently where Sony was going to help them to give their a more global appeal and to help their stuff more successful worldwide. Which pretty likely means Sony publishing, marketing at least outside Japan, and overviewing/supporting development. Pretty much what they always did with 2nd party games. On exchange, Kadokawa gave like 2% of the company shares to Sony.
From Software is by far the most appealing studio Kadokawa has, so Sony will ask them for From Software exclusives.

I am well aware From Software have developed multiple different IPs in the past such as Otogo 1 and 2 for the original Xbox and Armored Core. I am assuming your talking about others.
You must be forgetting that King's Field was basically the original idea of Dark Souls types of a game, except that it was in 1st person but had similar ideas of exploring dungeons and killing mobs.
The more souls, the better, I am super hyped to see where the franchise can evolve and its some of the best games I've played in my life. None of these games reek of any stupid political bullshit, they feel gamey, have great sense of exploration and story telling through out the game's world, great gameplay and mechanics and some of the most world class art direction. You want less of that? Sad.

I can't do this, not until there's something more concrete. Yes, From has 2 teams at least and we know one is still working on elden ring (if not both), so at most there would only be some early concept art and storyboards.

Why would Sony fund FromSoft to make a "spiritual successor to Bloodborne" if they own the rights to the franchise and the very same target market and fanbase want an actual sequel to the real thing?

Dang, they really missed their chance to name this Project "Ensconced in Velvet."
Enable more creator freedom and creativity, and sometimes endless numbered sequels aren't the best way to go. That's what I got.

Many people wanted a sequel to demon's souls. still do to this very day, doesn't matter if it's a sequel or spiritual successor. if it's from software you bet your bottom dollar sony is going to want to jump at the chance of locking down a new ip from them.

I love Bloodborne, it's my game of the decade. That's why I don't want Bloodborne 2. From Software is great in making new IP's but then sequels aren't this good. Secondly Myiazaki himself said that he likes doing new stuff. That's why he is working on new IP's and leaves sequels (Dark Souls 2 and 3) to others.
I'm a big fan of Soulsborne but with Elden Ring I'm getting tired of the same schemes - they are recycling the sames ideas since Demon's Souls (or even from earlier games) and it begins to be really tireing for me.
New IP? Yes please but let it be something really new, just like Bloodborne was.

I agree 100%.
Bloodborne is a really good stand alone game, I’d rather have new IPs in a new interesting setting. Half of Bloodbornes story appeal is that reveal after killing Rom, the ”Oh, this is what this game is about?!”-feeling that can’t be captured again in a sequel.

I don't believe it. They'll either do a full Bloodborne sequel or nothing at all. You usually do a spiritual successor when you don't own the IP, which is not the case here.

But they did a new IP with Bloodborne, despite owning Demon’s Souls?
I think it’s more plausible they’d make a brand new IP rather than a sequel to Bloodborne

From are no strangers to developing two games at the same time.
This is entirely believable, especially when you look at how Elden Ring isn’t pushing graphical boundaries.
Bloodborne 2? Possibly not, given the story ending. But a spiritual successor sounds fine to me.
A late 2023 release is most likely.
