Dark Souls Could Be Getting Some DLC Soon
I love Dark Souls with a flaming, burning, itching passion. It’s a great game, even though it hurts me. Dark Souls doesn’t mean to hurt me, I know it loves me as much as I love it, it’s just that it doesn’t know how to show it’s love for me. Its predecessor, Demon’s Souls, was lacking in the DLC department, and both games don’t really require any sort of expansion on their world or story. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t welcome DLC with open arms, because I totally would.
If this rumor proves true, Dark Souls could indeed be getting some DLC. A source of EGM said Namco Bandai and FromSoftware have plans to expand on their game via “some form of expanded content” that’s nearing the end of development. Not too long ago FromSoftware filed a trademark for “Yami no Mori” — a name that translates to “Forest of Darkness” or “Dark Forest.” Intriguing. News via EGM
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
