Many fans are currently hoping that one of these games could be a sequel for Elden Ring , but just as many are hoping that FromSoftware will revisit their groundbreaking worlds of Bloodborne and Sekiro first. Reading through the beautiful and terrifying art and lore of Soul Arts emphasizes how unbearable it is to not yet, if ever, have the opportunity to explore new aspects of these worlds. **Soul Arts ** is the perfect companion piece to these FromSoftware games, prompting nostalgia for the first playthroughs of games, the agonizing waits for more, the creativity of the fan base, and still, the yearning for more and more, as these concept artworks are part of the most intriguing games never made (y

Those who venture to the treacherous peak of Elden Ring 's Mt. Gelmir will gain access to Volcano Manor, a legacy dungeon in which resides the God-devouring Serpent. A gimmick boss fight that all but requires the use of the Serpent-hunter Great Spear, the first phase is creepy enough, but things become much stranger when a mid-battle cutscene reveals the snake to harbor the form of Ryk

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 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive title Bloodborne was, at the time, FromSoftware's most imaginative and uncompromising effort, and it marked at least a slight departure from the Dark Souls series. Abandoning the overt fantasy elements of its predecessors, Bloodborne instead takes place in the Victorian-inspired city of Yharnam and draws almost directly from Lovecraftian l

Soul Arts , a kickstarter book project, features some of the best concept art for the most popular FromSoftware ** __ ** games, with art derived from the lore of the games and concepts that don’t quite exist yet. Michael "VaatiVidya" Samuels’ kickstarter project, Soul Arts, is a collaborative effort between various artists to design original artwork based off of games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. After running a series of different art competitions, VaatiVidya featured a selection of artworks on his YouTube channel, with detailed discussions of each piece.

Unsurprisingly, many of FromSoftware's acclaimed action RPGs are easy recommendations, but there are certainly several other well-known franchises that provide rich fantasy worldbuilding, drama, and act

Unless she appears in content from DLC or an Elden Ring sequel , whether the Gloam-Eyed Queen is alive or not will remain unknown along with her true identity. However, there's potential for the Godskins to reclaim the power they once had depending upon which ending is chosen by players, or by FromSoftware in the event of future story content. In endings that restore the Elden Ring, then Destined Death is also restored, since it is only one Rune that joins many in the composition of the titular artifact. Even in endings without the ring being restored, it's likely that Destined Death still returns to the Lands Between to rid the realm of the madness that accompanies immortality, such as with Ranni's Age of Stars Elden Ring ending , where she creates a new order that is far away from the people over which it will r

One of the less remarkable bosses of the third Dark Souls outing, High Lord Wolnir is encountered in the Catacombs of Carthus atop a high precipice. A former Lord of Carthus now claimed by the abyss, Wolnir was as detestable in life as he is in de

Before it was sealed in Maliketh's blade, the Godskins drew power from Destined Death for their black flames. These black flames that used the power of Destined Death were able to kill any god with which they came in contact because the black flames were the embodiment of Destined Death before it was sealed by Maliketh. Given the use of this power and the description of Destined Death, the Godskins likely see themselves as keepers of the natural order, with the Gloam-Eyed Queen leading them in their efforts to preserve said order. However, some of them abused this power, and it resulted in their def
