I actually think based on what I've heard, I actually think the publisher of that game is going to surprise people.

If there is anything like a souls-game I will be there day one.
My personal wish is for it to be a "voodoo-souls" game. Witch-doctors, zombies, infested monsters, vampires and something like "the church" who has been corrupt by their own cult when roaming something like the African continent for slaves and gold.

Character classes like diablo2´s Necromancer and Amazon.
Priests, knights and witches/witchdoctors and so on!

There's other things, but the teaser played into some Kuon elements on a few levels.

Thanks for explaining. That makes a lot more sense. The body horror stuff is familiar, but I must not have played enough or have since forgotten the story "shadow" stuff. I should check to see if my friend still has their copy. I never gave the game that much of a chance since from wasn't quite as prestigious a dev at the time.

Yeah, I don't think this is teasing Kuon at all.

Also, I still don't see why From would make a sucessor to that game.

This looks like the absolute perfect fit for a From Software game. I can't even cope with the environment and creature design they can explore with this IP.

Whatever it is, i hope we'll get to see some gameplay, another teaser trailer would be awful.

I know almost nothing about Kuon but I really love the films Kwaidan, Onibaba and Kuroneko, and From Software are my favorite active developer. How excited should I be?

This would be a dream game for me if it plays out like a modern take on Kuon. From Software is still in blind buy territory for me and AAA survival horror has been anemic this gen.

Oh my god if they're bringing Kuon back, that't be so awesome. Now give me Otogi 3 and I'll be completely happy

I completely forgot the original game was by From. Colour me interested - it was one of the more distinctive PS2 horror games, and the atmosphere was excellent.

No one said this is Kuon 2, just that it may be a source of inspiration, much like what King Field was for Souls initially.

I'd personally be overjoyed if it was a successor to Kuon. But in truth, I'd just love it if it was something completely detached from the Souls mold of games.

This. They've done five games in a row now in that style (Bloodborne is amazing but a big lol at calling it "vastly different"), I love these games and I suspect they have another Souls-esque game in the works. But now's the time to do something different.

It's most likely not gonna be full blown horror games people. I'm expecting an action game with more terrifying atmosphere than Bloodborne's scary parts.

So going by all the hints around, could it be that Activision is publishing it?

I think EA will be more surprising considering the lack of SP games from them. Acti at least funded some Platinum games and is making new Crash Bandicoot game as we speak.

On Kotakus Splitscreen Podcast today, Jason talked about the new From game and hints that it is not Bloodborne 2 and "people are going to be surprised when they find out who is publishing the game"

I'll be bummed if that's what Shadows turns out to be because I really wanted BB2.

I am guessing there is further discussion on this somewhere?
I can only think of like 3 publishers that might surprise me. MS, Nintendo and like Konami.

One becaue MS hasn't bought any big exclusives in a while.

Nintendo because even though they said From is on board for Switch development, I don't think they'd go this direction with a new game. I would think PS4/Pc first.

Konami because up until a few days ago I didn't think they wanted to publish traditional games.

So I am interested.

Survival Horror isn't always my jam but if it is a more action/adv based game with a lot of survival horror elements I am down.

The game is being published by a big Western Studio, and NOT Bethesda like many people seem to think.

Can't be Microsoft or Nintendo because it isn't an exclusive. And Konami isn't a Western studio I believe. :P

Yeah thats why I asked if there was more discussion elsewhere.

So not exclusive and it is Western published?

Damn. Thats tough. I guess it boils down to what/who is considered a western publisher.

The surprise for me would be THQ/Nordic.

Ubi, Acti, Ea are all big pubs that wouldn't surprise me. Okay I take that back. They all would a little since all three are pushing GAAS.

Well, there go my hopes for an Enchanted Arms 2 if true.

For real though, I'm really excited to see what a modern Kuon would look like from current day From. They've well and truly trod the Soulsborne style for a long time now imo so I'm mostly interested in seeing them do something different for a change and I'm pretty sure so are they.
