Though fans had previously speculated that FromSoftware's 'Shadows Die Twice' teaser pointed towards a sequel to Bloodborne, it transpired on the showfloor that they were actually developing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - a brand new property unveiled (surprisingly) at Microsoft's conference.
It was always going to be the case that FS would unveil a title, and while it's fair to say that everyone is excited about their upcoming project, Souls is still their most famous series. Bloodborne, while not explicitly connected to any of the titles in that series, operated within a similar framework, boasting the same kind of challenging difficulty that made Dark Souls so famous - or perhaps infamous - to begin with.
In any case, Bloodborne was a rousing success for both FS and Sony, selling over two million copies and exceeding Sony's expectations in doing so. If the sequel isn't destined for the PS4 anytime soon, then we can at least expect it to debut on the next gen within the coming years.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
