Kaikki jotka pelkäävät Dark Souls III:n olevan sarjan päätösosa, voivat nyt hylätä moiset mietteet. Eurogamer-sivuston mukaan sarjan ohjaaja ja From Softwaren presidentti Hidetaka Miyazaki kiistää moiset väitteet. Hänen mukaansa peli on kuitenkin jonkinlainen käännekohta sarjan osalta:
"However, I believe it's the turning point for the Dark Souls series. First of all, Dark Souls has a really unique worldview. It's not a good idea, continuously releasing titles for this series because of that factor. And this will probably be the turning point of From Software as a whole - it's the last project we started working on before I became president. It's basically From Software, they started working on this project when it was an older generation. So it's a turning point. It'll be a turning point, but it's not final."
Miyazaki ei kuitenkaan suostunut selvästi sanomaan, mitä hän tällä käännekohdalla oikein tarkoittaa. Hän totesi vain From Softwaren kehittäneen useita erilaisia pelejä aina mechoja pursuavasta Armored Core -sarjasta ninjapeleihin:
"From Software is well known not only for the fantasy game, but they've been creating the sci-fi mech game Armored Core and also some Japanese-style games, like the ninja games. So I may introduce a new direction in those genres or themes that From Software has worked on in the past in new, future titles. However, there are so many things that I want to work on, and I'm actually not communicating anything at this moment, so don't call me a liar if they don't happen!"
Dark Souls III suuntaa Xbox Onelle, PS4:lle ja PC:lle ensi vuoden alussa.
