First Brief Official Details on Shadows Die Twice (and FROM's current projects)

[Dusk Golem]

The details come from Sepide Donne at FromSoftware in an interview with Zoomg: https://www.zoomg.ir/2018/6/8/275995/fromsoftware-consept-artist-interview/

The interview is NOT in English, but here's the key points (thanks to Toolifercle for the details, Google Translate for me cross-checking things).

-Shadows Die Twice is still soulsborne-esque in ways, buuut with totally different gameplay and theme, but they cannot say anymore right now on the specifics.
-They say the story is deep and fantastic.
-They're going to show us the actual gameplay this week. It's fresh and again, totally different from Dark Souls.
-They are working on 3 projects right now. Shadows Die Twice, a new VR game (which will be announced this week as well), and an unannounced game.
-The wish to release one game in a year as their target for releasing their games right now.

It's not much and we'll see two of these games very soon, but as the first 'official' word since reveal for Shadows Die Twice I thought it might be topic worthy.

 

[Lakitu]

Great we are going to see gameplay. Curious to see the VR game aswell.

 

[wideface]

VR mechs.

 

[Deleted member 36493]

Sounds good so far.

 

[Ichtyander]

Something totally different from Dark Souls, sounds exciting, can't wait to see what they have in store.

 

[ReginOfFire]

BB2 2019 then?

 

[TheCongressman]

Do we know if they have any more involvement with Nintendo besides the DS port?

 

[Orayn]

Before even reading the OP I said to myself "dark fantasy action RPG not exactly like Souls or Bloodborne," and yep, that's basically it.

Wonder if Armored Core VR is coming.

 

[Scuttlefluff]

I actually hope SDT isn't the real name - maybe it'll grow on me, but right now, meh. Unlike Bloodborne which was an instantly classic game name.

There day 1 regardless though, obv.

 

[SmoothCat]

Hype!!!!!

 

[War Eagle]

I wonder if the unannounced game is the rumored Bloodborne 2?

Labo VR

 

[Superman2x7]

It's great that they've been so successful thanks to the Dark Souls series but goodness, Cant they do something different. They've practically put out 5 of the same type of game (Dark Souls 1-3, Demons Soul and Bloodborne) yes all three are different but their also the same.

Where's the sequel to Ninja Blade or Otogi.

 

[silva1991]

Fresh huh? I wonder if attack buttons will be R1 and 2 for this one.

 

[Tonton]

Metal Wolf Chaos VR : thinking:

 

[-PyramidSong]

Bloodborne VR
Omg

 

[Kalor]

VR Armoured Core.

 

[SuperYlvis]

Hopefully the VR team isn't big.

 

[OrdinaryPrime]

'The story is deep and fantastic'

Gonna maintain mild cynicism towards that based on their past games.

 

[AAMARMO]

Here we go!!!

 

[byDoS]

I am already in.

 

[Animal Liberation Ⓥ]

Like I said in the other thread...

"- The story is deep and fantastic." I like the sound of this, but is it more fleshed out in the forefront? Or do you have to search while playing to get all the lore nuggets, then read people's combined effort thesis write ups to get the full effect like in BB or DS?

[Tesseract]

are we ever gonna get a new king's field?

It's supposed to be much different from those games according to people close to development like Omnipotent.

What happened to the Armored Core project?

 

[DarkFlame92]

"-Shadows Die Twice is still soulsborne-esque in ways, buuut with totally different gameplay and theme, but they cannot say anymore right now on the specifics."

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

 

[ryuzoRX]

Armored Core VR would be nice

 

[Glassboy]

Shadow tower VR or Armored Core VR?

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

What happened to the Armored Core project?

Click to shrink...

Square Enix hired a bunch of Armored Core devs for Left Alive, that might have killed the project (or they left because the project was cancelled) . Or like others said, it might be the VR game.

 

[Loudninja]

Ohhhh a VR game

 

[Jraphics Horse]

Shadow tower VR or Armored Core VR?

Click to shrink...

They already said they are working on AC so I'd expect it to be that.

 

[Deleted member 1258]

I'm convinced at this point it's the spiritual successor to Kuon and they're making a horror game

Because holy fuck I want a FromSoft horror title

 

[Kerozinn]

Im in regardless but a fromsoft VR game will push me to buy PSVR if its supported.
Also that third game which is unannounced might be BB2 lol

 

[Masagiwa]

Dope! I hope to god she had the approval to say all of this :P

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm convinced at this point it's the spiritual successor to Kuon and they're making a horror game

As I've said this a bit publicly at this point, don't expect a horror game exactly.... But this game is also not horror-less. It'll be revealed soon.

 

[Isee]

-Shadows Die Twice is still soulsborne-esque in ways, buuut with totally different gameplay and theme, but they cannot say anymore right now on the specifics.

That brought a smile to my face.

 

[Kinsei]

I'm glad we'll see gameplay this week. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the game will be like.

 

[Kaz Mk II]

Gimme ARMORED CORE from.

I need it.

 

[Raza]

Hmm, I am also thinking Armored Core VR. Would be neat, but I hope VR is just an option.

Did we ever decide if SDT is the "weird" thing Miyazaki mentioned or the game similar to Dark Souls?

 

[DarkFlame92]

Click to shrink...

Most likely a mix of action and horror. In other words my favourite genre

 

[Aokiji]

an unannounced game.

[DevilMayGuy]

That third game better be bloodborne 2

 

[SilkySm00th]

A VR armored core game juuuuuuust might greet me to buy a headset...

 

[enkaisu]

Souls-esque but completely different? That sounds very exciting! Cannot wait for gameplay.

 

[Deleted member 7051]

At this point I'm expecting a first person shooter or something.

 

[Ahasverus]

I'm in for all kinds of Japanese horror.

 

[Noctis]

At this point it's gotta be a mix of tenchu and kuon

 

[Much]

That third game better be bloodborne 2

Click to shrink...

Hell yeah, 2020. :P

 

[Lakitu]

More of a horror game than Bloodborne then I take it?

Tomorrow, right?
