Rumor: Demon Souls 2 May Be Announced at Sony Nov. 15 Event

According to a reputable NeoGaf member, “the Demon’s Souls spiritual successor” may be shown at Sony’s PlayStation 4 launch event.

Famousmortimer, who previously leaked the DriveClub delay and the next-gen resolutions for Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, revealed information he was given months ago about the launch event.

[xHeavYx]

Even though I'd love it if it was true, I find it hard to believe. Dark Souls 2 is coming out early next year, There is also Deep Down

[abzdine]

more Sony events? damnnn...

[brish]

I read the article and it says "Demon’s Souls spiritual successor", not "a Demon's Souls sequel".

Dark Souls is the spiritual successor for Demon's Souls. I'm guessing this means Dark Souls 2 is coming to the ps4.

If this is true I'll buy a ps4 just to play that game on it. ... I'd probably buy the game for the ps3 as well just for the online community.

I'm addicted, what can i say! O.o

[MazzingerZ]

GG's "Completely different to KZ" IP?

[GribbleGrunger]

Demon's Souls is a Sony owned IP and Dark Souls was a way around that problem. If it's being shown at the PS4 event then it's more likely to be Demon's Souls 2

[GTgamer]

I don't know if this rumor is true but i can tell you one thing if it is it will be in 1080p ;) and that's all the time i have folks goodnight :3.

[ZodTheRipper]

If I had to choose between Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls 2 for PS4 I would rather like to touch the demon inside her, again.

Dark Souls somehow doesn't come close to what made Demon's Souls so special.

[wsoutlaw87]

dark souls 2 isnt next gen and demon souls is sony exclusive. I also dont know much about deep down but I would love a new demons souls, was probably my favorite ps3 game.

[Lord_Sloth]

Yes but that doesn't mean Sony can't show up with a new DeS game for the PS4.

[SilentNegotiator]

Sony owns Demon's Souls. They could easily have passed the IP onto someone else to make.

The whole point of "Dark Souls" was to sequel Demon's Souls on all systems without REALLY breaking copyright.

[ABizzel1]

According to developers and Sony it only takes 2 months to get your game up and running on PS4 at playable framerates (my guess 20 - 30fps). Dark Souls doesn't come out until March, and it's only November so that means the game can be up and running by January, and with another 2 - 3 months to go it's possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath, and if it does happen it'll likely be a 1 - 3 month delay (April - June).

[gaffyh]

I absolutely love Demon Souls, just got into from PS+ and am almost done playing. So will look into Dark Souls and teh sequel after I've finished that. But I would love a Demon Souls sequel, but I don't think it will happen because I can't see them wanting to piss off Capcom (deep down) and From Software (Dark Souls), unless From is making the game.

[Rynocirator]

@gribblegrunger There was no "problem" with the fact demon's souls was a ps3 exclusive, it sold incredibly well. The problem is that FROMSOFTWARE was bought out by NAMCOBANDAI and atlus owned the rights to demon's souls, so they made dark souls instead. It could very well be atlus creating a sequel, but you can be sure as hell FROMSOFTWARE won't be making it.

[kazuma999]

-_- will be missing it cuz ill be at GAMESTOP XD but setting my dvr so woot.

[Rynocirator]

they have live streams on the tvs at gamestops if your local gamestop has gamestop tv, which it should.

[MizTv]

I can't wait to get so mad getting my ass kicked in this game

[vishmarx]

really hope so.
but unlikely since FROM is already working on DS2.
dark souls was a spiritual successor. demon souls sequel seems kinda unnecessary at this point.dark And demon n dark werent THAT different to warrant two separate sequels

[xPhearR3dx]

I thought they were. I tried so many times to get into Demon Souls and just couldn't do it. I don't know if it was the whole Nexus thing or what, I just couldn't do it. I absolutely LOVED Dark Souls though.

I'm super excited for Dark Souls 2, I probably couldn't say the same if it was Demon Souls 2 being announced instead.

[MetaReapre]

Well it doesn't seem so far fetched as the reason dark souls was named thusly was because Sony claimed rights to the demon souls name. (Correct me if I'm wrong) if Sony was holding the demon souls name, it could be for this very moment. Also wasn't the director or an important person that worked on dark souls collaborating with Sony on some project that was rumored to be the next demon souls? I never did follow that much so I don't know if that project was ever announced or something.

[Killjoy3000]

I just don't understand this. If we already have Dark Souls, why do we still need Demon's Souls? It's the same game...

[TheFirstClassic]

Very different in art style and level design. Demon's Souls was much better than Dark Souls in my opinion.

[Killjoy3000]

A sequel of any type, regardless of name, would have those same differences. Ghost disagreer's - lmfao.

[TheFirstClassic]

I disagree. Dark Souls was a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls, and it fits that term very well. The gameplay is similar in many ways but there is a big departure in terms of personality and design. To say they are the same game is ridiculous. It is pretty rare when a sequel abandons elements of past iterations to bring in new things, usually they just build on what is already there. I can see why you would say if we have one we don't need the other, but they definitely aren't the same game. Personally though, I would love a demon's souls 2 to go along with dark souls 2.

[darren_poolies]

Pretty sure I would actually die if this happened.

[Campy da Camper]

I guarantee you will die....again and again and again....

[TENTONGUN]

i think i will pass. i dont want to smash my ds4. honestly cant handle a stressful game that is so damn addicting

[darren_poolies]

@TENTONGUN

I've never once found Demon's or Dark Souls stressful. But they are the two most rewarding and addicting games I've ever played. DS4 seems pretty durable you should give it a go ;)

[Hellsvacancy]

Oh my f-ing god, I sooooooooooooooo hope this is true

[ravinash]

Oh my god I just wet myself!

[garos82]

lol me 2.my soul is ready

[DeletedAcc]

SONY GIVE ME MORE TIME TO PLAY YOUR AWESOME GAMES

First 'NAUGHTY DOGs next game in Space' and now this??? Dont play with my feelings!!!
Also cant wait for order:1886 gameplay!

Good times to be a playstationgamer, seriously!

[kazuma999]

XD I know right.

[ZodTheRipper]

We all do :D

[Inception]

This rumour killing me T_T

[CGI-Quality]

MASSIVE exclusive if this pans out!

[EXVirtual]

My pants! MY PANTS!
I need to buy some new ones. I swear, if they announce this game... I will bounce around like a hyper-active 5-year old bunny.

[Fishermenofwar]

This just in...Sony is responsible for my wife leaving me..Taking my dog and my car...But I have the PS44444sss on order..

So it isn't so bad... (-_-)

I wonder if they will announce a new IP from Santa or Ndawg?

[dredgewalker]

Your wife called, says she'll return your dog and car and take the PS4 instead :p

[NarooN]

Demon's Souls 2: You're Gonna Die Edition

Comes with season pass for extra side-campaign, as well as a plush sword and real functioning M1911 .45 for when you decide to blow your brains out from rage.

[kwiksilver99]

Hold on.wasn't dark souls the spiritual successor of demons's souls?

[CGI-Quality]

Spiritual Successor, yes. Sequel, no. This would be a direct Demon's Souls sequel, which is also a Sony-owned IP.

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

that means its coming, i believe rumors when it comes to games

[KingOdin89]

Me too. That's what I like to hear!

[sigfredod]

Now that will be a megaton if turn out to be true, i loved demons souls

[ThePsychoGamer]

Considering the said an announcement involving a spiritual successor to Demons Souls, I'm more inclined to believe it's Dark Souls 2 for the PS4

[skeeter2275]

I hope they bring back player/world tendancies

[TechMech2]

I want a new media molecule game

[Turbotoby]

Isn't Dark Souls a sequel? well a spiritual successor at least.

[tulholdren]

Please make it happen Loved the first one and a True Sony Exclusive to the first..

[Pintheshadows]

'Gamer drops Grand Piano on himself after becoming infuriated with Demon's Souls 2.'

I need to make that headline happen and Sony needs to help me.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

CHILLLLL don't make me too excited!

[Lord_Frieza]

*Heavy Breathing*

[Swiggins]

*Breathing Intensifies*

On topic: Please....Please be true.

God knows that Dark Souls II is my most anticipated game of next year...adding another Demons Souls to that for Next Gen would give me a heart attack.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

As someone who enjoyed demon souls more than dark souls I'm
Very excited for this. And all can put vets that this will be exclusive.

I always like demons souls better for its darker more grim feeling

[KingKelloggTheWH]

Demons was just better overall, cant wait to play Demons 2!

[Sevir]

Well Its not a stretch, the Dark Soul's Producer does have another game being worked on at From software, and that Studio is great partners with both MS and Sony and has given them both great and not so great exclusives. In anycase Demon's Souls really was the game that PUT From Software to a studio worth working with.

Shu actually details that it was his fault why Sony didn't Publish the game in the States and Europe because He got his ass handed to him by the unforgiving nature of game. Shu said he threw his DS3 at the TV because of how brutal it was, and provided feedback in sayin that they'd not profit from because its too hard and US users prefer easier games... Only to see the game Sell bucket loads in Japan and later on sell a even more impressively in the west in both Europe and NA spanning a dedicated fanbase, as such Namco got DS and DS2 as spiritual successors...
Poor Shu lol.

Still Dark Souls 2' director said his next game being unannounced is a Next gen Ip... given that SHu has said that they love the Demon's Souls Ip and that He personally is a fan of the game its not hard to believe that They have something cooking up.

Geoff saying that New Game announcements and premiers are happening at PS4AllAccess I'd put this up as likely! and I cant freaking wait.

[Unlimax]

This is so freaking awesome if its real ~
Guys .. Don't Forget Bloody Roar 5 it might be announced by Konami in any moment for the PS4 !

[_QQ_]

As beast as it would be i don't see it happening with dark souls 2 still in dev

[gamer2013]

Fap fap fap fap!

[clmstr]

Argh!!!!!!!! My pants are WET! God, this is a damn good rumor!

[thornh]

This is on wikipedia.org under Demon's Souls. You can get the source material from wikipedia. Edit: Its' a polygon.com interview from June 13, 2013. So, I'm officially excited that this rumour may very well be true.

*While Dark Souls is not a sequel to Demon's Souls, but a spiritual successor, there has been no official announcement of a sequel to Demon's Souls. However, a European retailer listed "Demon's Souls II" on their website as an upcoming title for the PS4 system. When asked about a potential sequel to Demon's Souls, SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida stated; "That's a great question, but because of the attention that will get, I choose not to answer. But, personally, I love Demon's Souls. I spent hours and hours and hours playing it." He went on to say. "I love the team, I love the game and yeah, I'd really like to see more. But that's all that I will say." *

[WeAreLegion]

I hope there's a live stream or GameStop shows it at the store. Their fanbase will be waiting in line at that point.

[pyramidshead]

<hype>

[Grave]

Oh please let it be so, Umbasa.

[PygmelionHunter]

Yes, please!

[Deathdeliverer]

"So the world will be mended...... so the world will be mended" Demon Souls is still by far the best "Souls" game. Gameplay wise they are largely the same except a few glaring differences. The online invade system was waaay better in Demon Souls and the reward for invading and winning or killing the invader was great. I was constantly invaded and with no bonfire save points (another problem) it made the game alot more tense and suspenseful. Instead of "Oh well I just passed a bonfire so is all good" in dark souls, it was "fuck I have a ton of souls on me! Should I run to thenext fog or do I try to take this mf out? " In Dark Souls I was invaded maybe 7 times in 2 play throughs. Demon Souls was countless. Not to mention how much easier bonfires made the game. Let me just go to this bonfire here. Cool now I can go die on some trial and error shit since they are conveniently placed near hard areas and boss rooms. Demon Souls got HARDER the more you died because the world falls into darkness and even crazier enemies pop up, they are stronger while you get weaker. I passed on Dark Souls 2 because of all this and more. If they stay true to DEMON SOULS, if this rumor is true, I will be in bliss.

[theDivision]

Maybe it's dark souls 2 for PS4 something I would personally love! Though demon souls 2 would also be amazing

[kidhero99]

[Destrania]

If this happens, I will crap my pants. Can't wait for the event Thursday night 11/14! Then the PS4 the day after!

[cactusjack]

maybe sony is making a hybrid demon deep down. lol

[TristanPR77]

Wow, Sony is on fire! I has never been so exited for a gaming console in my life. Keep on the good work Sony.

[nooneknows]

C'mon people, a Demons Souls 2 on Next gen would smash Dark Souls 2.....

[e-p-ayeaH]

Demon Soul on PS4 would be pretty awesome.

[Attila57]

Please be true!

[LEOPARD1030]

Amazing first Savage Starlight and now the sequel of the original game Demon's souls...

http://img.pandawhale.com/p...

[TheObserver]

There were also other Devs on Neogaf who hinted Demon's Souls was in the pipe a couple months ago. Wasn't sure if they are simply teasing harmlessly or were actually seriously teasing.

[strigoi814]

give it to us. Demon Souls2 please

[01animeking]

please do it demon souls was fucking awsome

[feraldrgn]

Yes please.

I guess it'd have to be portal based like the original?
I have no problem with that, since sometimes it's nice to have levels & a hub.

Either way, hope they get From Software to work on it.
