Dark Souls 4 leaves fans divided

Elden Ring: Nightreignhas sparked interest inDark Souls 4, and while some fans would love to see it happen others are content with letting the series go.

I’m unhealthily obsessed withDark Souls, I’m replayingDark Souls IIIright now and I routinelyrevisit the first gamewhen I need a break from the latest AAA releases.

Seeing Dark Souls bosses return inElden Ring: Nightreignhas also got me more excited for the game, check out the trailer below

That said, while I adore the trilogy, evenDark Souls II, I’m content with where it started and where it ended, I don’t wantDark Souls 4.

Dark Souls IIIwas all about letting go. The First Flame is dying once again and when you eventually get to the Kiln Of The First Flame you find it buried in ash from all the subsequent times the flame has been linked anew.

A fourth game would completely disregard the point the game was making in my opinion but some fans are still gunning for a continuation.

“DS3was already a nice conclusion to the series, I don’t think they’d makeDS4” added another.

Finally one fan said no toDark Souls 4, adding “the reason why is literally the plot ofDark Souls 3; it’s a metaphor for this exact conversation.”

While I don’t think we need aDark Souls 4I’d still be down for a spiritual successor of some kind and I’m excited to see what exactly those Dark Souls bosses are doing inElden Ring Nightreign.

As for as an actual sequel goes though, I’d be really disappointed to see a fourth game made that wasn’t some kind of reboot at least.
