Project Beast (Bloodborne) Officially Named Demon Soul's Spiritual Successor

     Something pretty much all Souls fans have suspected has been confirmed- From Software's Project Beast has been officially announced as Bloodborne, but more than that, it's also been stated that it is a spiritual successor to the beloved game Demon's Souls.

     Bloodborne takes place in an ancient, forgotten city called Yharnam, known for an old medical remedy. Over the years, many hopeless and afflicted people have made long pilgrimages to Yharnam in search of help. As the main character, you are one of these travelers. However, you find that Yharnam is also cursed with a horrible endemic illness. You must navigate the perilous streets of this city, fighting off nightmarish creatures, malformed beasts and deranged mobs stricken with this horrific illness. Face your fears as you discover the secrets and mysteries of this dark and horrific world where danger, death and madness lurk around every corner.
     According to the Director Hidetaka Miyazaki- the game development focused on retaining the signature style as a core philosophy- which is quite good news, as fans have grown to love the skill and strategy required to overcome the games.

  3. Direct quote from the source post (Link above)- from the Director Hidetaka Miyazaki:

    “Creating Bloodborne as a completely new game on the new PlayStation 4 hardware has allowed us to really push the envelope in myriad ways. That being said, in more ways than one, it also very much retains our distinct, signature style. As has been at the core of our development philosophy since Demon’s Souls, we make true games for people who love games."

    They are continuing with the same elements, themes, and core of the previous games without using the story of the Souls games, which, in fact, DOES make it a spiritual successor.
