Aight, let this be the definitive "Things Killer Queen said" post. Save it, bookmark it, do what you gotta do. Yes it includes public information, no it's not all super secret and not all of it is 100%, some things are educated guesses on my part.
-Currently no plans for Bloodborne 2 and there doesn't seem to be any room in their schedule from what I hear. Was confirmed to me a second time on the day of Sony's E3 that no Bloodborne 2 was greenlit.
-No plans for more "Souls" games. Yes Bloodborne is a souls game. They're all counted under the same umbrella internally it seems. That means no:
Dark Souls 4
Bloodborne 2
Demon's Souls 2
At least over at Fromsoft as Fromsoft doesn't own the Demon's Souls or Bloodborne IPs
-From has multiple games in development right now along with others in planning or conceptual phases, obviously none of which would be any of the above
-From will not only be making ARPGs in the future and will explore other ideas, obviously Armored Core is one such franchise
-From will keep making ARPGs even outside of their next ARPG. So it's not unlikely that they would partner with Sony or even Xbox to make a new exclusive game
-I have reason to believe the new ARPG will be multiplatform rather than exclusive, educated guess. But I'm about 98% confident in that assessment.
-The whole Mayan theme along with a focus on martial arts isn't anything like what I've been told personally, there's always the posibility that it could be in development at Fromsoft as I don't have knowledge of all of From's projects and quite honestly what I do know is fairly limited. But in regards to Froms next ARPG, some of those details are at odds with what I was told. Not going to go into detail.
-Froms next ARPGs won't be as closely knit together as the Souls games and be more varied. What exactly that entails I don't know.
-The next ARPG is the natural evolution of Fromsoft ARPGs and will incorporate everything they've learned as developers.
-The reveal of this game is supposed to be a big event and is particularly important to Fromsoft. In terms of reveal dates, I had asked 3 things regarding a potential reveal date. "Would it be at E3(2017)? TGS(2017)? Or would we see it this year?" The answer I got was kind of "don't hold your breath" though I later got extra confirmation the day before E3 that there would be no reveal at the event. The fact that it's supposed to be a big event is why I wouldn't expect it to show up at anything lesser than an E3 or Fromsoft revealing it on their own terms.
Yes obviously any game Fromsoft is making means lot to them, but it was stressed to me that this one is the one. Regarding the reveal dates of their projects I can't say, wording was iffy though I'd personally expect armored core roughly near the new ARPG.
-The game won't be tonally as dark as Bloodborne.
Now this isn't a comprehensive list of everything I've been told, just what I feel is fairly harmless to share and a recap of things I've already posted over the last few months(year?)
Though moving forward it's going to be a subject I engage in far far less both for personal reasons and ethical reasons. So keep this handy.
