Déraciné from FROMSoftware creates what may be the most enriching world yet seen in VR, but only scratches the surface in terms of actual gameplay.
FromSoftware, the developer behind the famous Dark Souls series, says the company has no plans for more VR games in the foreseeable future. This comes after the release of its only VR game to date, Déraciné, which released for the PSVR back in 2018 and received a mixed reception.
During an interview with Destructoid, Producer Masanori Takeuchi had some compelling things to say about developing for the platform.
Coffee writes:
"Stories about faeries leading fine people astray, devils waylaying travelers and princes locked away in towers fuelled my imagination. I was skeptical as a child but the environment in which the tales were recounted would ground the tale in real life and make it harder for me to push aside the ghost stories so lavishly told. Déraciné (from the makers of Bloodborne and Darksouls) has magically captured these stories and lovingly crafted a beautiful little tale that is perfectly told in VR."
Miyazaki clarified that Dark Souls Remastered and the upcoming Metal Wolf Chaos XD were requested by Bandai Namco and Devolver Digital, respectively, and are thus not included in the 3.5.
Asked by 4Gamer.net is this meant that the studio has two unannounced titles in production, Miyazaki said that is correct.
“While it isn’t the time to discuss details, they’re both [From Software]-esque games,” Miyazaki said. “We’ll need a little more time, but we’ll be able to tell everyone more about them once they take shape.”

"Would rather have Bloodborne 2"
Would rather have Demon Souls 2
Yes, Bloodborne 2 with more complex gameplay mechanics (more upgrades, armor system, more guns and weapons, more accessories and rings and stuff.)
I predict the two games are BB2 and Dark Souls IV. They should move King's Field to VR, it's perfect for it. Demon's Souls remake will probably be done by the Dark Souls remake team with minor upgrades again.
I would literally keel over and die if they were Bloodborne 2 and Demon's Souls 2
I hope we get a new Armored Core
They have been talking about how Armored Core is still alive yet it’s long overdue for a new game.
While I am waiting for a new AC game I hope Daemon X Machina is good. From former From AC staff. Can never have enough big mecha games.
@Observer
Demon's Souls 2 would be great. A real deal gamer like you would understand.
Bloodborne 2?? These unannounced games probably won't release until next gen
They're obviously working on bloodborne 2, they would be fools not to after the success of the first.

"They're obviously working on bloodborne 2, they would be fools not to after the success of the first."
Obviously? By saying "fools", you mean Sony, right? In case you forgot, Bloodborne is Sony´s IP.
Just like Sony obviously funded Dark Cloud 3 or Legend of Dragoon 2 or Demon Souls 2 right? Can't wait for them to obviously fund Rogue Galaxy 2. Sony doesn't have the best track record getting sequels out to beloved RPG titles they published.
I'd flip the f out in excitement for another Tenchu. One of my favorite franchises ever.
