I trust my man Yamamura to make another game I like. I loved Armored Core VI.

I believe in them. I'm sure they'll be announcing King's Field V any day now... any day now...

They're just chasing trends now. Open world slop, extraction slop, etc.

But Armored Core 6 proves they still have it.

For a serious answer, I reckon they're actively developing:
>Nightreign (DLC)
>Duskbloods
>AC6.5
And conceptualizing/planning:
>Dark Souls 3 Remaster
This is just based on the leaked internal code name "FMC". "F" has referred to Dark Souls in the past, but also most recently AC6.
>DS2: FRPG2
>DS3: FDP
>DS:R: FHD
>Sekiro: NTC
>BB: SPRJ
>ER: GR
>AC6: FNR
>NR: CL
I'm assuming these are shorthands for working titles. Elden Ring being [G]reat [R]une while in development. [F]antasy [RPG] [2] for Dark Souls 2. [Ninja] [J?] [C?] for Sekiro. [S]ony [P]roject [R?] [J?] for Bloodborne.

Kinda? No shit, Elden Ring was garbage and now they're focusing on multiplayer drivel. Sekino is their last great game.

...Why would DS3 even need a remaster? The game looks fine
A Dark Souls 2 remaster where they fixed the downgraded lighting, improved the graphics and character models, and replaced Soul Memory with something else would be legitimately worth playing

Same anon. I genuinely don't know what they're thinking by not making a sequel (or a port) for Bloodborne. The new game they teased for the switch 2 looks like total dog shit as well.

Think about it moreso from a financial position. Given the size of Fromsoft now, their shareholders will expect consistent and regular returns.
So Mr. Zaki goes to the higher ups and goes
>Preez shareholders/investors, I want to make this weird game I've dreamed about since I was a child.
And they say
>How about you bang out a quick remaster cause our reports tell us we can spend about $3.50 on development and it'll make us $30m, and THEN you can make your weird gay game. We promise.

I don't think so. I think they're just in an inflection point. There's plenty of passion still left in Fromsoft, but they've grown so much (450+ staff) they need to keep rewarding the investors. So you gotta do an Elden Ring or a Remaster once in a while so you can go off and make your other passion project.

All they have to do is re-release Bloodborne on PC with new content and they'd print a billion dollars.

Imagine making Demons Souls and being pretty proud of what you made. It's atmosphereic as fuck and you have some cool novel ideas like multiplayer format and tendency and stuff to interact with the world that are great for a first try.
It's pretty well received and you're pretty happy. But you're determined to make a better game.
You try, but you run out of time and money, so you just kind of shit out a half-assed Demons Souls again.
You're really embarrassed and not proud at all because the game is only half finished and you know it. It's a buggy laggy fucking mess, the multiplayer is borderline unplayable because of netcode, and some of your covenant mechanics don't even work, and the physics are all fucked so you die a lot in unfun ways.
You have a meeting with marketing and apologize for your shit product. The marketing guy shrugs tells you "we'll just sell it as hard I guess."
You wait for your studio to get raped.
but
People fucking love it. They're slurping up that hot smelly turd like crazy.
You can't believe it.

Imagine selling progressively worse versions Demons Souls three times and idiots keep fucking buying it. The next one legitimately mid-development with lighting all fucked up and stuff not completed, and elevators to entire worlds like a fucking Mario pipe. They don't fucking care. It's like the more you mutilate your creation the more they love it.

Then you try something slightly different -- but it's still basically demons souls with extra steps --people freak the fuck out.
So you just sell them fucking shitty Demons Souls again BUT THIS TIME LONGER and they're all good. GOTY. Give us more, give us a sequel!
Like dogs with an old shoe.

Imagine how much faith these devs have lost in humanity.
From hasn't lost their touch, anon
They just probably resent how fucking retarded you and rollslop kiddies are OP.
I would shit on you too since that's what you seem to love.

Thankfully we live in a dystopian hell world where everyone is so desperately starved for any novelty that this is going to be the fate of any game that does anything novel.

New things are getting run into the ground and having the soul sucked out of them at record pace these days.

ds3 is where the quality started decline. I don't really count ds2 as a mainline game on account of it being made by a B Team.
