Miyazaki goes on to reveal more specific details about the above-mentioned projects: The first is a dark fantasy RPG which is likely similar in concept to Dark Souls and Bloodborne, which would certainly “comply with the expectations from the fans”; the second is a new Armored Core title; and the third is a mysterious game that Miyazaki describes as simply “weird”:
Miyazaki disclosed the same information to 4gamer.net back in June, but as the interview was originally conducted in Japanese, Anglophones have had to rely on translation efforts by the good samaritans at NeoGAF. Now, almost four months later, English-speaking gamers can have confidence that this news is accurate.
Because no formal announcement for any project has been made at this point in time, there is no way of knowing when we can expect any of FromSoftware’s works-in-progress to be released. Two DLCs are due for Dark Souls III between now and January 2017, so unless Miyazaki has any tricks up his sleeve, we may have to wait until next summer before we see an official unveiling.
