They had GRRM write Elden Ring. They can get Amy Henning to write SR before she retires
It has Souls in the name already.
Lords of the Fallen did the dual world thing
A weakened hero taking on bosses who are literally gods?
Worst case we get the Lies of P studio to do it
I don’t think from would ever resurrect a dead franchise and not keep making the cash cow that is souls.
Armored Core? That was dormant for a decade and two console generations before FromSoft brought it back.
(Still hoping for a new Kings Field.)
I also crave a new Kings Field! Some of my favorite childhood games.
Have you heard of Lunacid? Indie PC game that fully released this year by the developer behind Lost in Vivo. It’s absolutely crammed full with the legacy of Kings Field. First person dungeon crawl with magic rings to equip (Eternal Ring!) and a weapon stamina build up mechanic like KF. A TON of hidden secrets behind fake walls. Very obscure story that you piece together by the few characters in the game and environmental story telling.
I wouldn’t call it a perfect Kings Field clone, but it sure scratched the itch. It’s on Steam for probably 15-20 usd.
I hadn’t heard of Lunacid, thanks for the recommendation! It looks good; I’ll probably pick it up during the current Steam sale.
Hey, I just wanted to say I bought Lunacid right after your comment and finally got around to playing it. I’m only at the Catacombs, but so far it’s excellent and a great throwback to Kings Field (though I miss having armor; with only weapons and rings there’s far less exciting loot).
Thanks for the recommendation, my friend!
Nice! Glad to hear that you are enjoying it, happy that the recommendation worked for you! Agreed about the armor. I did miss that. I did enjoy the weapon level ups and finding rings that worked well together. It was a good way to scratch the first person dungeon crawler itch.
They could just make a souls-like game set in Soul Reaver. It was already an action game.
