From Software president and Dark Souls

In an interview with IGN at Tokyo Game Show, Miyazaki gave hints as to what each of the three games will be:

"So there are several titles that we are currently working on [...] Some of those are dark fantasy, some of those could be a mech [game] - that's one thing. The second thing is that one of the new titles I've been working on will probably comply with the expectations from the fans in straightforward manner.

"The last thing is that another title will probably be a little bit weird. When we actually announce the title, probably fans will react with 'oh, what the hell is this very weird game that Miyazaki has created?'"

When pressed on whether one of those game would be a new Armored Core - the hardcore mech series Miyazaki has worked on previously - he replied, "Yeah, we're already working on Armored Core", but would not offer any more detail.

As for what that 'weird' game could be, Miyazaki offered only this: "So when I say weird, I mean that the genre we're trying to try might be a little bit weird. Not only that, but all the other actual game content might be a little bit weird, yes." Weirdness confirmed, everyone.

Miyazaki has previously confirmed that new IP was in the works, and that he wanted to work on a new Armored Core game. Previously, From Software has said that a new, VR-compatible game would arrive in 2017, but Miyazaki was less concrete about when the three new games were dated for:

"There are still several obstacles we need to overcome to launch those new titles, so we're not sure how many more years we need to build those, but we're looking forward to making an announcement in the future."

One thing is sure, none of these games will be a new Dark Souls game (although a game that will "comply with the expectations from the fans" sounds like it could be cut from the same cloth) - for a new Souls fix, you'll need to direct your attention to the upcoming Ashes of Ariandel DLC
