In an interview with GGN Gamer (as translated by NeoGAF users and Google Translate), the From Software president confirmed a brand new game from the company: "I think it’s time we take a step to a new direction," explained Miyazaki. "Development of a new IP has already begun."Miyazaki had previously said that Dark Souls 3 would be the last game in the series , and uses this new interview to clarify that feeling:"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."Miyazaki made clear that this feeling applies to Dark Souls' predecessor, Demon's Souls too, responding to a question about a sequel by saying, "we want to try new things." Presumably, that also applies to Bloodborne which, despite ostensibly being a new franchise, relies heavily on the Souls games' template.However, there is one From franchise Miyazaki seems interested in continuing - Armored Core:"Personally I want to do it," Miyazaki replied to a question about the mech action series. "After all I was involved in three games in the series. Armored Core is one of the pillars of From Software's lineup, but I can't reveal anything at the moment."As for his latest game, Miyazaki also confirmed that Dark Souls 3's two DLC packs would arrive in Fall 2016 and early 2017.We sung Dark Souls 3's praises in our review , giving it a massive 9.5 and calling it a "worthy send-off" to the series.
