Dark Souls isn’t over yet, according to From Software R&D head Masanori Takeuchi. Speaking to GameTrailers, Takeuchi also expressed interest in the studio developing titles for smartphones and tablets.
“Of course, it’s not over yet,” replied Takeuchi when asked about the future of the Dark Souls series – which itself is the semi-sequel to PS3 exclusive Demon’s Souls.
“You have to go back to our roots, which is King’s Field. We’ve made many games in that series. We’ve always been enamoured by dark fantasy action RPGs. That’s just been our core DNA and I think we’ll continue to utilize that.”
“We’ve always been about making games for the core gamer, and they weren’t necessarily games that did well financially, which is too bad,” executive producer Eiichi Nakajima added.
The duo revealed that Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls have now both sold in excess of a million units each, which they partially put down to globalizing their products.
“We know what butters our bread, obviously it’s consumer games. That’s where we see some of our key strengths,” Takeuchi said, reassuring fans.
“That being said, as developers, we like to do new things and new challenges will help us mature and grow as a developer. Smart phones and tablets are an interesting challenge for us… if we take that approach, it’s going to be a core experience on a tablet, something that gamers are going to love.”
