The Dark Souls series, developed by FromSoftware, has established itself as a cornerstone of video gaming, selling over 40 million copies across various platforms. However, since the release of Dark Souls 3 in March 2016, the franchise has seen little activity, leading to speculation about its future. Recently, a Reddit discussion highlighted the split among fans regarding the potential for a fourth installment. Some players expressed a desire for a new Dark Souls game, arguing that the series should continue, while others believe that Dark Souls 3 concluded the story perfectly and should remain untouched. Additionally, many fans prefer a return to a more linear gameplay experience, reminiscent of earlier titles, rather than the sprawling world of Elden Ring. Conversely, some players feel that the Souls formula has become stale and advocate for new gameplay styles, suggesting that FromSoftware should explore different mechanics as demonstrated in their title Sekiro. Despite the uncertainty, it is clear that FromSoftware is working on multiple unannounced projects, leaving fans eager for future developments.
