Thread 718387952

>Genre/Style: Brutal dark fantasy ARPG with heavy emphasis on deep-sea descent and oppressive environments, blending Souls structure with Sekiro-style intensity.
>Setting: A decaying coastal empire where the sea has swallowed entire kingdoms. Players descend through flooded ruins, rusted fortresses, and caverns lit by bioluminescent horrors. The theme is “pressure” physical, psychological, and environmental.

>Core Mechanic: Oxygen / Pressure Management: Not a timer, but a stamina-like system that forces adaptation as you go deeper. Gear and mutations offset the crushing depths.

>Adaptive Combat: Standard melee focus, but heavier, more deliberate, like fighting underwater. Shields and dodges are slower, encouraging aggression and parries.

>Boss Design: Enormous leviathan-scale enemies (think Bloodborne’s Amygdala meets abyssal sea life).
>Example: “The Anchor of the Drowned,” a colossal knight fused to the seabed by a rusted chain, dragging players into shifting currents mid-fight.

>Multiplayer: Invasions return, but with a twist, invaders appear as “Drowned Shadows,” distorted echoes of failed adventurers lost to the depths. Their presence temporarily raises environmental hazards (reduced visibility, sudden flooding, shifting terrain).

>Development Notes: Said to be running on a modified Elden Ring engine with a heavier emphasis on vertical traversal and confined arenas compared to the open fields of the Lands Between.

Release Target: 2027. Next-gen only (PS5, Xbox Series, PC).

>Blending Souls with Sekiro
It will be trash.

>decaying dark fantasy setting
Fucking yawn

>entire game is a water level
a-at least no poison swamps...

unironically
>where is shadow tower remake / sequel
>where is kings field remake / sequel
>where eternal ring remake / sequel
>where is echo night remake / sequel

AC6 was kino, do that for those

Sounds coo. Hope they get rid of elden ring open world design though

So nothing has changed, then

>Next-gen only (PS5, Xbox Series, PC).
fake
Switch 2 power is close enough to match Xbox series (it even beats the S) and can run PS5 games with little effort to downscale it, its the white hot system, theres no way theyd pass on it.
They also have an exclusive game coming for it, so clearly theyd want to tap that market.

>>718387952 (OP)
>wanted pirate souls
Close enough I guess.

>>718388345
>asking for remakes
Idiot

>>718387952 (OP)
it's fake like spellbound but i want it

That's a really cool concept. Lost underwater civilizations is a kino concept

>>718388610
1500s, early 1600s based souls game would be so fucking dope. With guns that actually deal fucking damage unlike shitborne and take a long time to reload
Add to it pirate stuff and it would amazing

>>718388635
>remaking an old, flawed but promising game is bad
>remaking a game that has potential but had issues is bad
>b-because it just is, okay?!
Id take a SH1 remake over the SH2 remake for just that reason. Just because some remakes are slop doesnt mean all remakes are.

>>718388471
I asked my source about this and they said while yes the Switch 2 is stronger it might now quite be close enough to what FromSoft hopes to achieve with their next title
Reminder that Elden Ring had to be made with PS4/Xbone on mind so it was much easier to port and create the Tarnished Edition for Switch 2. That and the upcoming Duskbloods might be From's way of making it up to them for being absent for so long

>>718387952 (OP)
>2027
Don't care, then.

>>718387952 (OP)
all I read was:
>we're reusing our assets, enemies, NPCs, and bosses, in a new creative way!
>Zanzibart, forgive me for drowning

>>718388471
Suuuuuure thing, kiddo

>>718388816
ok i'll bite , does your source know if duskbloods will remain a permanent exclusive or if it'll get ported to steam after a certain amount of time like MH rise?

>>718387952 (OP)
This is way too cool and creative for nuFROM so chances are it's either fake or 90% of all the innovative, off-beat weird mechanics get cut.

>>718387952 (OP)
Honestly if even half of this makes it into the final game, it might be the most atmosphere-dripping Soulslike ever. “Pressure” as a central mechanic is genius-feels like it could naturally tie into combat stamina, exploration pacing, and even the lore itself. Just imagine getting pulled deeper by a boss mid-fight and your oxygen meter starts acting up while the terrain shifts? Absolute nightmare fuel in the best way.

Also “Drowned Shadows” invasions sound raw as hell. If they can make the environment itself betray you during PvP, that's a whole new level of griefing I’m perversely here for.

>>718388345
>eternal ring
No

>>718388769
I think it would be a slam dunk for a setting.
>chance to scratch the same itch as bloodborne
>a whole entire arc from berserk they can rip off
>cool ideas for levels like atmospheric harbor towns, shipwrecked or haunted boats, or exotic islands
>all kinds of strange sea creatures and cool pirate enemies
>they could even play into eldritch lore again
>weapons like cutlasses, anchors for greathammers and harpoons for spears

>>718387952 (OP)
I googled this and the source is a 2 year old reddit post that cites a 4chan post

>>718387952 (OP)
I liked the previous leak about it being a dark celestial focused world

>>718391005
Welp

>>718391005
Don't forget Bloodborne leaked on /v/

That doesn't sounds like AC7. Dropped
Fromsoft can't make good games outside of AC.

>>718391372
Yeah with actual screenshots and footage, not greentext.

>>718392213
This one does. He leaked the startup logos.

I remember a similar "leak" that said their next game would be a water themed souls game then we got nightreign and duskbloods lmao

it's obvious there's one sperg who really liked le heckin fishing hamlet and has been having wet dreams about a whole game taking place here, fromtrannies are such silly little sissy sluts

>>718388318
>implying the entire game isn't under poison water.

>>718388471
Stop being a retard switch2 is already obsolete...

>>718387952 (OP)
>we want Subnautica audience
Huh?

>>718387952 (OP)
yay sea

>>718394642
every single fromslopware game can run on ps3

>>718388318
It’s a poison sea instead

>>718387952 (OP)
Finally
Bloodborne 2 - UnderWater Edition

>>718387952 (OP)
Thanks ChatGPT

>>718387952 (OP)
Can't wait to finally meet my wife Faputa.

>reduced visibility, sudden flooding, shifting terrain
lmao imagine from trying to make a game with dynamic terrain when they're still incapable to program a functional camera and basic hit detection in big 2025

Could it be an adventure RPG with a dodge roll and vague lore that the fans have to fill in the blanks of???

Will it be like a playable version of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNFN9SZO9co

>>718387952 (OP)
Question is what time period aesthetic?

Antiquity like Atlantis, or 19th century like Jules Verne, or something else?

>Adaptive Combat: Standard melee focus, but heavier, more deliberate, like fighting underwater. Shields and dodges are slower, encouraging aggression
literally doesn't mean anything

if a game is slower and more deliberate then it doesn't "encourage aggression", fromdrones are so stupid it's insane

so what's the name of the genre it'll inspire
water-like?
ocean-like?
diving-like?

>>718394498
It's just the 4chan Pressure game (which inspired Barotrauma) changed to be a Souls-like.

>>718387952 (OP)
this sounds like hot shite

>>718396376
There'll be an area that you are inside a giant creature and there's an sea of stomach acid inside of it's body you have to traverse

>>718387952 (OP)
>Brutal dark fantasy ARPG with heavy emphasis on deep-sea descent and oppressive environments, blending Souls structure with Sekiro-style
stop reading after that, tired of soul slop

>>718388318
Poison swamps are a meme. They're not nearly as dangerous as people espouse. The biggest problem about Farron Keep in DS3 wasn't the poison, it was navigating through it. It took me 10 playthroughs to memorize the correct path.

>>718398607
they're a meme specifically because they're not a threat (in elden ring literally as torrent trivializes them) and yet mistbushi copypastes them everytime, it's emblematic of how lazy and shit these games have become

>>718388318
anon... haven't you heard of underwater brine pools?

>>718387952 (OP)

This is fake.
