In the clip he says From Software.
Big if true.

Is this still the same rumor from a month ago, or is there actually some new information besides Phil having a copy of Sekiro on his shelf?

I'm pretty sure there was rumor on /v/ a few months ago saying that the next FromSoftt game was an action game where you played as an android like in Nier and you could use mechas but it wasn't like armored core gameplay wise. Yeah I know it's /v/ so probably horseshit but you never know, sometimes real projects do leak here.

Dead space?
Prey?
Metroid?
Alien isolation?
System Shock 2?
Mass Effect?
Home world?
Suck balls? Really?

After Sony partnership with Kadokawa Corporation (From
software’s parent company) I doubt it will be exclusive

I'm sure he is talking about his personal preference. For people that don't like sci-fi the games you listed aren't enjoyable, regardless of their quality.

If you can’t buy them, then put so many orders in the pipeline to make sure they are working only for you.

Would be really interesting to see what they do with world interconnectedness in a sci-fi setting. It would be sweet to teleport onto a spaceship from a planet or down to a planet from a ship to fight a boss and you could see the aftermath of the battle in the world afterwards.
I'm not hyper familiar with every level of Souls games is that something thats been done before?
I think they should double down on the best things about their best games, world design being one of those things.
edit - The Shaq gif was supposed to be him tasty a spicy wing and then going "Oooo" but its funnier this way so I'll leave it.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
That partnership was about making games out of Aniplex and Kadokawa properties with CyberConnect2 and has hardly got anything to do with FromSoftware. Even if it did, they can't terminate any existing contract with Microsoft.

Why are there so many baseless rumors with Xbox? It seems like every wish they have becomes a rumor and people run with it. They always turn out false and people buy into the next nonsense rumor.

Funny how even after the Bethesda acquisition, these Xbox insiders are still stuck with the $ talk because that’s what their listeners want to know about.
MS should make a business sim for Xbox, it would be a hit.

It's funny how Twitter always proclaims something as fake right before stuff like this surfaces.

From Software are Gods.
Oh wait, I forgot about frame pacing and lack of 60fps. Damn those lazy bastards.

DAMNPLEASE BE REAL
Typical reddit leak that discusses every single detail and feature from the game. It's all bullshit, same as the "rumor" posted in the OP, which has already been debunked.
From's upcoming games are Elden Ring, Armored Core and a Sony collab, the latter of which is coming from an actual reliable source who has been verified by REEEEEE mods.

I think Dark Souls is the successor to Kings Field.

MarsipanRumpan, who was verified and widely supported by other insiders on his other leak of the Bluepoint acquisition by Sony, although he insisted on getting banned after missing the announcement timeframe he betted his account on in a middle of a pandemic :/

To be fair most of the first-party games they released last year were developed by third-party studios:
Asobo Studio - Microsoft Flight Simulator
Dontnod - Tell Me Why
Moon Studios - Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Splash Damage - Gears Tactics
???????????? - Battletoads
