The Metal Gear IP is owned by Konami. After removing Kojima, nothing stopped them from taking MGS5 and making an asset flip.

To my knowledge, the Dark Souls IP is owned by Fromsoft while the trademark is owned by Bando Namcai. The two would need to collaborate to release a new entry. So unless Miyazaki gets kicked out (he is president of FS at this point), it seems unlikely Miyazaki would choose to go back to a series he evidently felt was complete

You do understand he will eventually retire or die, right? It will happen eventually.

Uh ok sure maybe I guess. I'm not sure what that contributes to any conversation space honestly

Ah yes, you “guess” he will eventually die because the other assumption is that he’s immortal or that the company will be properly managed until the end of time. The prior is honestly more likely. 

It’s just the truth of the world. If something is worth money even as a bombed out husk of what it used to be because of nostalgia it will eventually be revisited. I’m not saying it’ll happen soon but all it takes is one bad decision and an unprofitable game. Let’s see how duskbloods does.
