Hidetaka Miyazaki, head of FromSoftware and director of the Dark Souls and Demon's Souls series, has said that his upcoming game The Duskbloods incorporates concepts the studio was previously unable to include in those earlier titles. He explained that accommodating such ideas was a priority throughout development, describing it as something that was "always at the forefront" of his mind while working on the project.

The comments suggest The Duskbloods, FromSoftware's next major release, draws on accumulated design ideas from across the studio's celebrated Souls-like catalogue, potentially offering longtime fans echoes of familiar mechanics alongside new concepts. Miyazaki did not go into detail in the quoted extract about which specific ideas were previously discarded or how they will manifest in the new game.
