‘Bloodborne’ Dev From Software Working on Two Unannounced Titles
Time to begin the guessing game for 2019, as according to an interview with 4Gamer.net, From Software has their fingers in two unannounced titles.
In the interview, From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki stated that back in 2016, the developer was working on “3.5” games. Those are broken down as follows:
The .5 is Déraciné, the recently released PSVR exclusive (that also had a potential Easter Egg regarding Bloodborne 2). The 1 is in regards to From Software’s upcoming Samurai hack ‘n slasher Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The remaining 2 are the unannounced titles.
When asked if the 2 unannounced titles were this year’s Dark Souls Remastered and the upcoming Metal Wolf Chaos XD, Miyazaki stated that those two games were requested by Bandai Namco and Devolver Digital, respectively, and are therefore not included in the 3.5.
“While it isn’t the time to discuss details, they’re both [From Software]-esque games,” Miyazaki said. “We’ll need a little more time, but we’ll be able to tell everyone more about them once they take shape.”
So, time to speculate: Will we be returning to the Bloodborne or Dark Souls universes? Perhaps 2019 holds the answer.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on March 22, 2019.
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.
