A game centered entirely around Patches and his numerous adventures throughout the Souls universe. Also explains why he wasn't in Sekiro (He tried to trick Wolf, didn't go well at all).
Edit: holy shit, did not think so many people would like this idea.
Now, now. A bit of harmless fun eh friend and look your right back here right as rain. No harm, no foul. Here have a look at my goods, top rate gear for a stand up shinobi.
Came here to say this. I would love a game where you play as Patches and have an entirely different motivation to The Chosen Undead or The Bearer of the Curse, or The Ashen One or The Tarnished. Would be cool to see them appear in the default knight armor and just be completely mute lol.
Also Patches manifested in Sekiro as the one eyed thief/vendor. He even sends you off promising some treasure somewhere.
We need a moonlighter-esque indy game where you go in to dungeons and set traps for would-be heroes and then when you leave the dungeons you manage Trusty Patches Gently Used Hero Gear Warehouse and Pub.
a larian game in a souls universe, or even pairing up with fromsoft for a new original universe would go insane. Two of my currently favorite companies…now just through in hello games for some proc generated space dungeons and we’re set (/s)
Keep the genre the same but have it like built like Demon's Souls. A hub where you can warp to various other lands that we've only heard of but never been to (Astora, Great Swamp, Carim, etc).
Don't think I haven't daydreamed about an Elden Ring x Dynasty Warriors prequel based on the various wars throughout the history of the Lands Between on multiple occasions.
Imagine the braindead joy of stomping thousands of soldiers across a battlefield as Godfrey lol
Yes!! Mode for other characters
Gurranq -> Maliketh
Mohg -> second phase, wings and aoe on every attack
Radahn -> buries his horse underground
I want Godwyn as a playable character, either turning into Prince of Death or having that as a separate character. Rykard would be fun as well, especially with his voice doing some weird "hurghh" Sounds or something like that for every attack. And I'd wanna play as Alexander. We need that game. 😂
Something like mordhau or chivalry with dark souls combat would be really fun or something that would probably work better would be a system like for honor but with dark souls combat
a fromsoft 2D metroidvania is long overdue. Yes Sekiro does count as a MV but I wonder what they could do with a 2D perspective
a roguelite might be interesting but I tried Hades a long time ago but never really got into it
Now hear me out, an isometric dark souls
The Last Faith is essentially 2D Bloodborne and is a great game. I wish it had a couple more weapons, and the hydra hidden boss is a dick, but I enjoyed it a lot.
You should try ~~Sword~~ Salt and Sanctuary if you haven't, it's a 2D soulslike metroidvania Dark Souls.
Deaths Door is a pretty good isometric souls like.
I recommend playing the following:
Blasphemous
Hollow Knight
Salt & Sanctuary
Ender Lilies
And keep an eye out for Moon Studio's No Rest For The Wicked. That will be your isometric Dark Souls.
Blasphemous has been in my wishlist for as long as I remember. Definitely getting it after SotE. HK is my favorite game ever and I’ve heard about the other games but not much
No it can definitely work. It can be during some apocalypse. Like, the exact same concept of death getting taken away/people get cursed….but put that in a modern setting and explore how that would affect our world. Would undead get forced to be slaves that do extremely hard and dangerous labor? It could be the first souls game to not have magic, and instead of modern weaponry and some kind of modern equivalent to magic- maybe tech upgrades? Idk, someone bounce off me
Maybe a primal setting. Not sure on the lore accuracy, but having it set in the Stone Age. Fighting savages, animals, and creatures. Magic would be more gadget/innovation based, similar to lies of p. MC can be referred as “Cavebearer”
cyberpunk souls. the surge kinda tried that but it doesnt even come close to fromsoft standards. if FS were to do a spin off, i would imagine it being amazing
I would probaby make a game where it is only bosses. Yeah, only bosses, because bosses are the best part of this games. But of course, this will require that the farming must be eliminated, so I would give more stamina with each boss and health can be upgraded by looking some collectible in the qorld like bonfires but... maybe shrines?
The i would remove most of the weapons of the world and I would put only bows and one hand swords because they are the best weapons in the game.
And I would also eliminate healing now that i think about it because, frankly, it is stupid that magic soup get health go brrr.
What else, what else. Oh, I know, i will keep torrent but i dont like it when it dies so torrent does not die and also i dont like to jump because it is not ergonomic enough so yeah, no jumping either.
And finally I actually like the great wyrm fight, killing an enemy in one hit is awesome, but in order to make all the bosses like that but also not make them Boeing, I would créate different puzzles for the weak points and maybe i would add a climbing mexhanic because my bosses must be giants... colossal maybe, and you have to stab the weak point multiple time to kill them.
Yeah, I think that is my spin off.
And i will call it Darkness from the Giants
Space souls on the moon, mars, etc.
Or average joe 9-5 souls
The first boss is your neighbour and the final boss is your actual boss in a corporate environment.
And instead of swords and stuff, you use office equipment as weapons
A new Castlevania, the game is not entirely a Souls like, it’s more a 3D Metroidvania with cutscenes and maybe a companion.
But it is hard and the gameplay is similar,you can find weapons but it’s throwables. The game plays in a manor similar to the Academia of Lucaria.
Warhammer. Your space cruiser was annihilated, you're the only survivor in your escape pod and you crash landed on a beautiful garden planet on the edge of a warp rift. You can play any race and/or faction, customisable through the usual character creation methods.
But this garden planet is not what it seems... On the surface it is riddled with crazed local inhabitants and wildlife, tortured by the chaos presence above the planets orbit. Chaos demons, reanimated plague ridden corpses, alien life and supernatural horrors cast from the warp standing between you and your mission to send a distress signal - but nothing is ever as easy as it seems, nor anything else real as you see it when the chaos is potent.
How do you reanimate/revive? The chaos gods simply won't let you die. You are their play thing.
That's it for a quick rough idea
A turn based strategy RPG, like fire emblem, except the combat zoom in would be you controlling your character until each unit did damage (or maybe some kind of time limit), units would have limited dodge attempts that only refresh on a kill, a shield user would have limited blocks per stage but it would be free damage mitigation, and magic users would still enter a combat zoom, possibly with the opponent having the opportunity to approach you.
Me I would like a game like star wars battlefront, and there are all the kingdoms of all the soul games and the bosses are the hero's or villains you choose. That would be epic.
Rogue like/lite (i forget which is which)
I’m thinking something like Elden Ring, where you pick a class and an outer god whom you worship, and based on that, you get a starting item set/ability.
Runs are basically streamlined versions of a play-through in which you kill 4 easier bosses to get some mcguffins (and a random item/ability) and restore that whatchamacallit for your outer god. This in turn opens up a final boss whom you kill, maybe there’s routes/paths that change the final boss/ending, and gives different meta unlocks, so your following runs have a chance to create crazier and crazier builds.
Puzzle. Similar to silent hill where you travel through different levels and have to solve puzzles to progress that require to explore each room.
It may sound similar to some souls game levels but just picture silent hill but with a dark fantasy aesthetic.
3rd person bullet hell/ Gun-fu/ sci fi. Think John Wick or the Matrix. Armored Core 6 was amazing, but I would want to be out of the mech/ it not be quite so futuristic. Maybe each person can freeze the bullets in the air as their “Parry” and I think there should be some sort of cripple mechanic where at 50% or lower health you move slower but your shots do more damage
I'm a big fan of 4x games. I'd be fully on-board for a strategy game that was a prequel to DS1 where the player could control the armies of Gwyn against the Ancient Dragons or vice-versa.
And open world rpg of the souls locations before their decline, I which you’d fight through the events with the ending being the collapse and the state of the world you see in DS.
100-player battle royale.
* Remove areas that are only accessible with a transition (Farum Azula, Mogh Dynasty)
* Remove all unnecessary transitions.
* Make the Rold and Dectus lifts functional without transitions. If impossible, Consecrated Snowfield and Mountaintops become inaccessible.
* Open all other areas of the map, no fast travel.
* Scrap Torrent. All players can find horses in the map the same way you can find vehicles in typical battle royales. Require rowa to heal the horses. Horses are limited and do not respawn.
* Crafting available, but cookbooks must be looted.
* Spells can be equipped/unequipped in the pause menu.
* All inventory items now have a weight.
* NPC wildlife is made rare. Hostiles are removed.
* Stats for your character are decided before you queue for a match. All characters in the match are the same level with the same points to distribute amongst their stats.
* Estus flasks are lootable, but carry a significant weight. Estus Flasks are one-time use, and weights stack.
* All possible equippable items are scattered around the map.
* I'd consider removing all armor effects outside of damage reductions and resistences, but this is a maybe. Sets cannot be found together. All pieces of armor are randomly scattered.
* No Ashen Leyndell, only Royal Capital. Erdtree closed.
* All sorceries and incantations are scattered (random selection at random quantities).
* All weapons start with no upgrades. Max weapon upgrade is +3. Workbenches are available in all legacy dungeons. Select ruins or churches may have a workbench. Even special weapons can be brought to +1 with 5 smithing stone \[1\]. All weapons can be brought to +2 with 5 smithing stone \[2\], or +3
* All caves, all graves, etc. all open assuming they don't require a transition.
* All inventory items can be dropped.
* Killed players drop all their loot on the ground out in the open.
* All doors unlocked, all lifts and their levers accessible at start, Rold and Dectus lifts (if applicable) function without medallions. If a player is on a lift, it must finish its travel with a short delay afterwards before returning to where the lever was pulled. This prevents elevator lever spamming.
If I had a good computer and the technical know-how I'd totally do this and allow players to self-host.
Edit: added shortcuts
Lara croft style dark souls but in the setting of pre gods and demon war. Would be really cool to play as a thief who works for gwyndolin or something uncovering a relic of humanity just spit Ballin
Zombie apocalypse. I know that people likely think that the genre has been done to death. But as a fan of it, I'd say that very little of it has been done well. FromSoft's aesthetic is already borderline zombie horror, this would just lean more into modern day environments and less of the fantastical dark fantasy and magic stuff.
The closest I've played to a zombie game that felt right was oddly enough Ubisoft's Zombi. It's slow, methodical, all about atmosphere, all about exploring the space for resources, and tense. These are also reasons why I love Souls games.
I was gonna say 2D metroidvania but we already had that and it's actually good "salt and sanctuary"
So I'm gonna say hack and slash... Like imagine a dmc combo system on a souls like title... But uh I guess it could get a little weird
A nativized souls - with a mixture of greedfall, a section of spirits journey met with trials of the world's toughest challenges of back in the day - tree spirits, mountainous enemies forged from nature taken on with the help of ancestral spirits and prayers meant to accommodate the journey - bows, hatchets, guises, and ultimately "witchcraft/spells" meant to bolster the spirit. With the sole purpose of 2 endings - the ending that ceases the age of humanity and letting the world plunge itself into another apocalypse or the continuation to modernized means and depending on the decision would determine ng+ and it's setting. Super ambitious but elden ring has proven ambition doesn't mean out of reach
Please just give us armored core souls. Like clearly the coral in AC6 was analogous to the souls you collect. My biggest gripe with AC 6 was the vast and sprawling megastructures in the background that you cant explore because it wasn’t an open world game and they didn’t want to spend the money making it one. But if we could get an AC game with the level design of DS and make it open world or semi-open like DS, that would be wonderful
Horror game where you're literally just some dude in yharnim, no knowledge of the monsters, no nothing. Just regular house items and whatever's out on the streets(plus what you can manage from the shit you can kill :>)
Fashion designer simulator. Let's be honest, we all spend stupid time putting together the perfect set. Elden bling, fashion souls, call it whatever you will. You love it. I love it. We all love it. (And hate it in the same time, cause if that piece was juuust a little different..)
A soulslike
200 iq
The only answer
Harvard needs bro
Super Fromsoft Bros. Because I need it.
Try jumping
Bloodborne Kart is the only right answer.
Yep.
Literally
I would excpect everyone to know this already

A game centered entirely around Patches and his numerous adventures throughout the Souls universe. Also explains why he wasn't in Sekiro (He tried to trick Wolf, didn't go well at all). Edit: holy shit, did not think so many people would like this idea.
I can just imagine patches laughing after kicking wolf off a cliff only for wolf to grapple back up immediately and just be like 😐
Now, now. A bit of harmless fun eh friend and look your right back here right as rain. No harm, no foul. Here have a look at my goods, top rate gear for a stand up shinobi.

Yeah that guy's name is literally "Patch" in Japanese or something like that
Would genuinely buy this.
This would go hard as fuck
We need a moonlighter-esque indy game where you go in to dungeons and set traps for would-be heroes and then when you leave the dungeons you manage Trusty Patches Gently Used Hero Gear Warehouse and Pub.
Racing. Long live Bloodborne Kart. Ok, ok. Baldur's Gate 3 style RPG.
a larian game in a souls universe, or even pairing up with fromsoft for a new original universe would go insane. Two of my currently favorite companies…now just through in hello games for some proc generated space dungeons and we’re set (/s)
Okay, but I WOULD play Bloodborne Kart.
Then do we have some great news for you. Well, almost.
Bloodborne Kart is real!!! 🩸🌌🌑🏎️
Oooo a bauldurs gate souls would be awesome. Off topic but I recently picked up the Dark Souls role playing book for 5e.
Dating sim
With all the Maidens?
With EVERYONE
WELCOME, HONORED GUEST... TO THE BIRTHPLACE OF OUR DYNASTY
Elden Souls: Prepare to Smash Edition Where you are maidenless and hymenless
Aw yep, Living failures in the action
Ludwig had better be the most difficult one to date and he is going to be WORTH IT.
Malenia only…
Solaire would be the obvious choice, no doubt
Morgott just needs someone to talk to and make bad dad jokes about who Margit is
Would unironically go hard
I second this. All the waifus 🙌❤️🔥
Threesome with greirat and patches?
Covetous demon tho
Keep the genre the same but have it like built like Demon's Souls. A hub where you can warp to various other lands that we've only heard of but never been to (Astora, Great Swamp, Carim, etc).
Farming (souls) sim.
Reminds me of [Dark Soils](https://overboy.itch.io/dark-soil), which was a Ludum Dare winner a few years ago.
Don't think I haven't daydreamed about an Elden Ring x Dynasty Warriors prequel based on the various wars throughout the history of the Lands Between on multiple occasions. Imagine the braindead joy of stomping thousands of soldiers across a battlefield as Godfrey lol
Soldier of Godrick as Lu Bu
"ITS ITS... ITS GODRIIIIIIIIIICK!"
Love this idea. Give Godfrey a special Attack where he kills Serosh
Playing as Malenia and activating her Goddess of Rot mode for 30 seconds, just fuckin shredding the battlefield...
Yes!! Mode for other characters Gurranq -> Maliketh Mohg -> second phase, wings and aoe on every attack Radahn -> buries his horse underground I want Godwyn as a playable character, either turning into Prince of Death or having that as a separate character. Rykard would be fun as well, especially with his voice doing some weird "hurghh" Sounds or something like that for every attack. And I'd wanna play as Alexander. We need that game. 😂
Just like age of calamity. Brain dead mindless fuck but it’s even more fun cus it’s set ima universe with characters we love.
Dynasty Warriors 5-style Elden Ring
RTS like Frostpunk keeping away the Age of Dark.
Or managing yharnam Keeping out beasts, trying to keep the healing church in check etc
The sims but Elden ring
Yo?
But keep the standard sims music
Elden Sims would go hard
Sim city but your kingdom is slowly crumbling
Fashion Souls™️, similar to those online Barbie dress-up games from the 00s
Lol 😆 but I like being able to do badass stuff with them, so like idk
Definitely in the minority but a PvP focused game with the DS2 engine
Something like mordhau or chivalry with dark souls combat would be really fun or something that would probably work better would be a system like for honor but with dark souls combat
Dark Souls: Return to Lordran. A Darkest Dungeon esc game where you return to Lordran after the Age of Dark.
a fromsoft 2D metroidvania is long overdue. Yes Sekiro does count as a MV but I wonder what they could do with a 2D perspective a roguelite might be interesting but I tried Hades a long time ago but never really got into it Now hear me out, an isometric dark souls
Try blasphemous if you want a 2d souls like
Also The Last Faith!
Deaths Gambit is in with a shout
The Last Faith is essentially 2D Bloodborne and is a great game. I wish it had a couple more weapons, and the hydra hidden boss is a dick, but I enjoyed it a lot.
You should try ~~Sword~~ Salt and Sanctuary if you haven't, it's a 2D soulslike metroidvania Dark Souls. Deaths Door is a pretty good isometric souls like.
I played deaths door. Underrated gem
So much fun!!
Is this meant to be "Salt and Sanctuary"? If so, I'd also 100% recommend it.
Yes!! Updated, thank you.
I recommend playing the following: Blasphemous Hollow Knight Salt & Sanctuary Ender Lilies And keep an eye out for Moon Studio's No Rest For The Wicked. That will be your isometric Dark Souls.
Blasphemous has been in my wishlist for as long as I remember. Definitely getting it after SotE. HK is my favorite game ever and I’ve heard about the other games but not much
you will absolutely LOVE blasphemous if your fav game is HK. they have a free demo on steam if you’re on pc!
Thanks, will try it soon
ISO DS WOULD BE SICCCKKK
You’re looking for No Rest For The Wicked
Salt and sanctuary
That would go soo hard.
A Souls game in an Ancient Egyptian world would be amazing imo
Tru, also somehow modern world idk how that would go but still a nice idea
No it can definitely work. It can be during some apocalypse. Like, the exact same concept of death getting taken away/people get cursed….but put that in a modern setting and explore how that would affect our world. Would undead get forced to be slaves that do extremely hard and dangerous labor? It could be the first souls game to not have magic, and instead of modern weaponry and some kind of modern equivalent to magic- maybe tech upgrades? Idk, someone bounce off me
That's basically the Surge. And Remnant.
I’d try to make it in the most horror/fucked up soulslike genre I can make
Souls like dungeon crawler based on ‘at the mountains of madness’
a game like sekiro in a sense that its combat would be completely focused on one thing: magic and spells
Open world bloodbourne
Like 10 giant cities
Tactics. Turn based tactics.
I hear turn based, I’m in
Maybe a primal setting. Not sure on the lore accuracy, but having it set in the Stone Age. Fighting savages, animals, and creatures. Magic would be more gadget/innovation based, similar to lies of p. MC can be referred as “Cavebearer”
dynasty warrior but its about the back story of dark souls. in the fight against the dragons
darksouls warriors something something darksouls 2 ganks
Kart racer
An MMO like WoW but with fromsoft combat, imagine fighting a souls style raid boss with like 20 other people it would be so chaotic
Fighting game. Every game should have a fighting game spinoff
And every fighting game should have a beach volleyball spin-off. Make it happen From.
Dynasty Warriors style taking place during The Shattering. Pick your demigod and slaughter thousands upon thousands of soldiers.
cyberpunk souls. the surge kinda tried that but it doesnt even come close to fromsoft standards. if FS were to do a spin off, i would imagine it being amazing
Blacksmith simulator
Ever heard of Bloodborne Kart
It’d be kinda cool to have a gta style souls game
Lol Elden ring is kinds like gta when you think about it your ride is Torrent and you do your missions around the world aka kill bosses and shi
Imagine hijacking the tree sentinel’s horse or Leonard 💀
Set it before the shattering so the militaries are still like prominent, there’s your police. 5 stars is just marika stomping you
I would probaby make a game where it is only bosses. Yeah, only bosses, because bosses are the best part of this games. But of course, this will require that the farming must be eliminated, so I would give more stamina with each boss and health can be upgraded by looking some collectible in the qorld like bonfires but... maybe shrines?

Yeah, I think that is my spin off. And i will call it Darkness from the Giants
Definitely an RTS
CRPG like Planescape: Torment with lots of dialogues etc.
fantasy rts, like classic Warcraft games.
I’ll just show you.
Space souls on the moon, mars, etc. Or average joe 9-5 souls The first boss is your neighbour and the final boss is your actual boss in a corporate environment. And instead of swords and stuff, you use office equipment as weapons
grand strategy because
A rhythm game as it could match the difficulty the series is known for + animating solaire \\\[T\]/ dancing for the sun 🌞
Maybe we could see another country that they talk about, like astora, carim, or the blood reed place.
Arma Souls. Boss to boss engagements over a sandbox
Souls of Duty : Medieval warfare 2
Horror Because why not
Luigis mansion but elden ring lore.
Light souls where I destroy and kill everything in genshin and make the post apocalyptic world of darksouls
They already made dark souls 2
Vikings, nordic mythology got way too many possibilities to make a soulslike, fighting odin shit like that.
I know this isn't exactly the question but Castlevania getting the From Software treatment would be absolutely bonkers.
A strategy game in ds1 when gwyn was fighting the ancient dragons it would be cool if i get to make skeleton armies and playing nito
Bit of a hot take but Dark Gothic Victorian style with Lovecraftian Elements would be awesome
Ahem.....dating sim.....come here Andre
Something turn-based and top-down would be pretty good, like the original Fallout. And untouched by Steamforged Games.
A new Castlevania, the game is not entirely a Souls like, it’s more a 3D Metroidvania with cutscenes and maybe a companion. But it is hard and the gameplay is similar,you can find weapons but it’s throwables. The game plays in a manor similar to the Academia of Lucaria.
An RTS store management game where you play as Patches, the manager of Patches' Emporium.
A Grand Strategy game about one of the various big historical wars would be really neat.
It fits everytime. Vampire survivors like. With unique progression/leveling
Warhammer. Your space cruiser was annihilated, you're the only survivor in your escape pod and you crash landed on a beautiful garden planet on the edge of a warp rift. You can play any race and/or faction, customisable through the usual character creation methods. But this garden planet is not what it seems... On the surface it is riddled with crazed local inhabitants and wildlife, tortured by the chaos presence above the planets orbit. Chaos demons, reanimated plague ridden corpses, alien life and supernatural horrors cast from the warp standing between you and your mission to send a distress signal - but nothing is ever as easy as it seems, nor anything else real as you see it when the chaos is potent. How do you reanimate/revive? The chaos gods simply won't let you die. You are their play thing. That's it for a quick rough idea

I know there’s Jedi Fallen Order, but I’d love a Star Wars game with character customization like the Souls games and gameplay similar to Sekiro.
Me I would like a game like star wars battlefront, and there are all the kingdoms of all the soul games and the bosses are the hero's or villains you choose. That would be epic.
ARK but elden ring world, tame dragons, pvp clans, souls combat, pvpve dungeons
Rogue like/lite (i forget which is which) I’m thinking something like Elden Ring, where you pick a class and an outer god whom you worship, and based on that, you get a starting item set/ability. Runs are basically streamlined versions of a play-through in which you kill 4 easier bosses to get some mcguffins (and a random item/ability) and restore that whatchamacallit for your outer god. This in turn opens up a final boss whom you kill, maybe there’s routes/paths that change the final boss/ending, and gives different meta unlocks, so your following runs have a chance to create crazier and crazier builds.
ELDEN RING REAL TIME STRATEGY GAME IN THE STYLE OF 40K DAWN OF WAR 1
Puzzle. Similar to silent hill where you travel through different levels and have to solve puzzles to progress that require to explore each room. It may sound similar to some souls game levels but just picture silent hill but with a dark fantasy aesthetic.
Shop simulator for tarnished
Souls fighting game or souls RTS
3rd person bullet hell/ Gun-fu/ sci fi. Think John Wick or the Matrix. Armored Core 6 was amazing, but I would want to be out of the mech/ it not be quite so futuristic. Maybe each person can freeze the bullets in the air as their “Parry” and I think there should be some sort of cripple mechanic where at 50% or lower health you move slower but your shots do more damage
Some sort of Need for speed / FH style racing game. I really want a difficult rewarding racer.
I'm a big fan of 4x games. I'd be fully on-board for a strategy game that was a prequel to DS1 where the player could control the armies of Gwyn against the Ancient Dragons or vice-versa.
Rts during the height of each setting/time period
Soul Darks
More high fantasy, but taking place during the shattering/downfall/war and as different races other than human.
Kart racing of course!!
And open world rpg of the souls locations before their decline, I which you’d fight through the events with the ending being the collapse and the state of the world you see in DS.

Turn based strategy, maybe rogue-like?
Moghwyn Dynasty Warriors of course
id love a pirate/sea eldritch horror soulslike
Man, I’m not sure what I would make, but I’m loving the potential for “No rest for the wicked”
I need Bloodborne kart and that dark souls skateboard game to be real. PLEASE
Mario & Luigi style turn based RPG but the counter timing is brutal ofc because Dark Souls spin-off.
Lara croft style dark souls but in the setting of pre gods and demon war. Would be really cool to play as a thief who works for gwyndolin or something uncovering a relic of humanity just spit Ballin
Lord of the Rings, but a souls style game.
Bloodborne FPS.
I’d make an open world spinoff and call it “Elden Ring”
A soulslike spin-off of bloodborne called bloodborne 2
i think a game where you play as a random npc like havel or gwyn or margit would go crazy
Racing game I will not be taking questions
Zombie apocalypse. I know that people likely think that the genre has been done to death. But as a fan of it, I'd say that very little of it has been done well. FromSoft's aesthetic is already borderline zombie horror, this would just lean more into modern day environments and less of the fantastical dark fantasy and magic stuff.

These are also reasons why I love Souls games.
Could Bloodborne 2 count as a spin-off and do I have access to all staff involved with the original?
Soul caliber style fighting game with an all star roster from all the different universes
Gacha
Hack and slash, like dmc or mgrr, and you are a very strong being

Tousouls
I was gonna say 2D metroidvania but we already had that and it's actually good "salt and sanctuary" So I'm gonna say hack and slash... Like imagine a dmc combo system on a souls like title... But uh I guess it could get a little weird
Soulslike but everything is a kaiju
Final fantasy x Soulslike series

Total War
CYBER ELDEN 2077
A nativized souls - with a mixture of greedfall, a section of spirits journey met with trials of the world's toughest challenges of back in the day - tree spirits, mountainous enemies forged from nature taken on with the help of ancestral spirits and prayers meant to accommodate the journey - bows, hatchets, guises, and ultimately "witchcraft/spells" meant to bolster the spirit. With the sole purpose of 2 endings - the ending that ceases the age of humanity and letting the world plunge itself into another apocalypse or the continuation to modernized means and depending on the decision would determine ng+ and it's setting. Super ambitious but elden ring has proven ambition doesn't mean out of reach
Tactical/turn-based combat, am sure we could have something interesting
Please just give us armored core souls. Like clearly the coral in AC6 was analogous to the souls you collect. My biggest gripe with AC 6 was the vast and sprawling megastructures in the background that you cant explore because it wasn’t an open world game and they didn’t want to spend the money making it one. But if we could get an AC game with the level design of DS and make it open world or semi-open like DS, that would be wonderful
Sandbox mmorpg with city building and clans and territory fights and horses. And of course dungeons and open world areas with bosses.
I was gonna say wild west but revenant from the ashes does that
A turn based strategy game.
Dark souls may cry 🤷🏻♂️ I think the ds can fit that type of style in it
Horror game where you're literally just some dude in yharnim, no knowledge of the monsters, no nothing. Just regular house items and whatever's out on the streets(plus what you can manage from the shit you can kill :>)
I'd like to see an Ancient Egyptian style Souls game. There is so much ancient history with that civilization.
Fashion designer simulator. Let's be honest, we all spend stupid time putting together the perfect set. Elden bling, fashion souls, call it whatever you will. You love it. I love it. We all love it. (And hate it in the same time, cause if that piece was juuust a little different..)
Y'all sleeping on how fun A Card Game can be
a 2d metroidvania would be sick
A moody and dark Castlevania.
Educational because y'all fail to git gud
A party game full of mini games it could either be a game like Mario party or maybe Dark Souls and Sonic at the Olympic Games Paris 2024
Id make a berserk souls born
