‘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.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
