Nogle fans er bekymrede for, at Dark Souls III skulle gå hen og blive det sidste spil i serien, en afslutning på trilogien om man vil. Nu har seriens overhoved, From Software-chefen Hidetaka Miyazaki, gjort situationen klar.
"First of all, this is not the final product for the Dark Souls series," sagde Miyazaki i et interview (rapporteret af Eurogamer).
"However, I believe it's the turning point for the Dark Souls series. First of all, Dark Souls has a really unique worldview. It's not a good idea, continuously releasing titles for this series because of that factor. And this will probably be the turning point of From Software as a whole - it's the last project we started working on before I became president. It's basically From Software, they started working on this project when it was an older generation. So it's a turning point. It'll be a turning point, but it's not final."
Med dette på sinde, blev der spurgt ind til, hvilken retning Dark Souls III kommer til at tage, og her havde Miyazaki dette at sige:
"From Software is well known not only for the fantasy game, but they've been creating the sci-fi mech game Armored Core and also some Japanese-style games, like the ninja games. So I may introduce a new direction in those genres or themes that From Software has worked on in the past in new, future titles. However, there are so many things that I want to work on, and I'm actually not communicating anything at this moment, so don't call me a liar if they don't happen!"
Dark Souls III udkommer på PS4, Xbox One og PC tidligt næste år.
