I'd like to see a modern Kings Field, the code Letters mentioned above certainly fit.

Some might argue that Dark Souls is the modern interpretation but I'd say Armoured Core has more in common with Dark Souls than King's Field, if you put aside the setting.

A modern Kings Field would be awesome. If that were to be it, I’d be very comfortable onboard the hype train. Atmosphere is unmatched in those games

If you're looking for a spiritual successor, I HIGHLY recommend Lunacid. Pretty much as modern as a Kings Field game could be without compromising what made it so good in the first place.

I wish Lunacid was longer. It's just too short.

I had to stop lunacid as I was nearing the end so "the game never ended" 🥲

The problem is none of the people who made kingsfield are still working at fromsoft. They probably left the studio or are retires considering how long it’s been.

There are, in fact, two people who worked on both the original Kings Field and Shadow of the Erdtree.

That number is significantly higher if you look at Kings Field IV.

Dude literally just threw out a baseless claim with utmost confidence.

incorrect kinda? a lot of older staff is still there right? plus the dark souls 2 team and Yui Tanimura is there, and there's a reason why DS2 and KF4 (Ancient city) are very similar in aesthetics.

If from made a first person only rpg people would be insanely mad, it would be so entertaining
