Though Demon’s Souls features director Miyakazi’s favorite boss fight , it is missing artist Timothy Kelly’s sixth Archstone concept of the Twisted City. Soul Arts describes the Twisted City as a place that is warped and bent, with snow and mist shimmering across the landscape. The Twisted City was woven from pre-existing fabric by The Weaver, whose presence is all around the city. Everything there was a twisted version of the City of Giants. In the Twisted City, shadows change everything about the city. Timothy Kelly’s art, as well as the written concept by VaatiVidya, make for a very intriguing storyline that is just the beginning of the "what-ifs" introduced in Soul Ar

In that case, the Godskins might be able to use the power of Destined Death once more for their black flame incantations since it's not made clear if the Gloam-Eyed Queen needs to be alive for the Godskins to wield the god-slaying black flames again. Due to these variables, the status of the Godskins past the end of Elden Ring is unclear. Although, their return to killing gods and the return of the Gloam-Eyed Queen could make for interesting DLC cont

Of course, FromSoft's latest fantasy epic Elden Ring will be the most topical recommendation for House of the Dragon fans eager for an immersive and expansive experience. It's already FromSoftware's highest-rated Souls-like game , while simultaneously being one of the developer's most streamlined, accessible, and challenging games to d

This streamlined version of the game should feel comfortable at home for House of the Dragon fans __ in terms of tone and atmosphere. Like many Souls-like games originally made by FromSoftware, the worldbuilding is filled with dark medieval influences and deep lore that fantasy buffs will enjoy combing thro

There are a few historic weapons that don't quite fit into any of the archetypes listed above, but could probably be introduced in Elden Ring's future DLC without disrupting gameplay balance. Stone-hurling weapons such as Slings or Sling-Staffs could give players access to a new type of ranged weapon while also letting FromSoftware introduce new item-crafting options (sling bullets made from glowing ruin fragments, crystals, meteor fragments, half-cooled magma, etc). Javelin and dart-hurling stick tools such as the Pre-Columbian atlatl could become the basic of new melee/ranged hybrid weapons in Elden Ring , letting player clobber foes with one-handed attacks, then launch arrows and bolts at distant targets with the two-handed weapon skill. Finally, DLC could introduce a few more gunpowder type weapons to the game without making Elden Ring feel like Bloodborne 2.0 ; history is full of examples of primitive hand-cannons, fire-lances, and primitive rocket launchers that co-existed on the battlefield with traditional medieval methods of

If the concepts for never before seen lands and creatures weren’t enough to make FromSoftware __ fans yearn for more, the art competitions for Bloodborne features inspired imaginings. Bloodborne and Sekiro evolved combat from Dark Souls , creating entirely new gameplay experiences that elevated FromSoftware __ into even higher territory. Bloodborne ’s portion of Soul Arts is dedicated entirely to fan imaginings of settings, characters, and Roguelike Co-op Gameplay of a sequel to Bloodborne . Artist Istrandar imagined the fate of Caryll, a runesmith who is one of the most important, but never seen, figures of Byrgenwerth. Istrandar imagines Caryll’s thirst for knowledge, leaving Byrgenwerth, working tirelessly to communicate with the Great One. Through dangerous methods, Caryll transcends her human form to that of a giant, beastly owl, communicating forever with the Great One, and inspiring whispers of her dangerous desc

Although the Godskins exist when the player enters the Lands Between, their powers are greatly diminished compared to when they were in their prime. The Godskins were at their full power before Elden Ring takes place and the Age of the Erdtree, when Marika was an empyrean instead of a god and vessel for the Elden Ring. While Marika may not have ascended to godhood yet at that time, she had plenty of reasons to be wary of the Godskins. Marika's rival for godhood was the leader of the Godskins, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, who is also called their mother. The Gloam-Eyed Queen's status in the present time of the Lands Between is unknown, but the Two Fingers chose her as an empyrean as well before the Elden Ring had a ves

The Dark Souls , Bloodborne (and more) __ fan art kickstarter was fully funded in just one hour. The Irish small press, Tune & Fairweather, partnered with the kickstarter to create the physical deluxe-edition, large-format art book, Soul Arts . Tune & Fairweather previously published the acclaimed Dark Souls book You Died , a companion book to the Dark Souls video game. The final product of Soul Arts contains 256 pages of full-color illustrations, a foreword, and detailed descriptions of the game concepts and art. Within the Soul Arts book, the passion, adoration, and innovation of FromSoftware fans is on full disp
