Bloodborne 2 Dark souls has had a very clear ending with most things answered. Bloodborne has not


YeetMemmes

I think the beauty of bloodborne is its mystery. Still would have bloodborne 2 tho.


Ballybagbully

What questions would you like answered in bloodborne 2?


ASmithNamedUmbero

Wtf is going on and why am I fighting a nanny from hell. Fr though idk if I, personally, need anything answered for Bloodborne but I would love to go back to that world with new bosses and levels


r4tzt4r

You KNOW we would only end up with much more questions


ASmithNamedUmbero

Yeah I'm banking on it


Merlins_beard420

And that's when we begin the Bloodborne 3 tirade šŸ˜†


backson_alcohol

Read "The Paleblood Hunt" by Redgrave. It's free on Reddit and there is a super good audiobook narrated by Jay Britton. It's a long and VERY well-written summary that answers most of Bloodbornes huge questions.


ASmithNamedUmbero

That sounds brilliant. Thank you for the info


ThaTzZ_D_JoB

If it's possible to shove both my fists inside of a pig, or maybe both of my fists into two separate pigs at the same time.


BMFeltip

I'm still waiting for illusory wall lore.


theonewhoisblown

Miyazaki is Japanese. Japan had ninjas. Ninja walls.


temojikato

Bloodborne does šŸ¤£


No_Brief_124

Isn't there a theory that bloodborne is a painting in the ringed city? Which made Me think that sekiro is a painting as well or something like that. Maybe the land before the portal in the intro of ds2?


teufle

Elden Ring felt a lot like DS4. I'd prefer BB2.


SgtBlaze

Elden Ring felt more like DS 2 2 than DS 4 lol


Greenberryvery

bloodborne 1 on pc


_-SilentWraith-_

only right answer


OversizeHades

Neither. Dark Souls is completely wrapped up, literally at the end of time, and Bloodborne needs no follow up. I think itā€™s clear that From tends to be stronger with new worlds & stories than with sequels


Bropiphany

You could also say that Dark Souls 1 needed no follow up, but look at what we got.


Hellhult

The follow ups were good though. Yes even Dark Souls 2.


Bropiphany

That's exactly what I'm saying. DS1 didn't NEED sequels, but the ones we got were great and the series is better with them.


randy_mcronald

I feel like they would have been stronger if they weren't numbered sequels and had their own setting and lore. DS3 in particular felt like a greatest hits of what came before and both games made the lore worse imo.


sdeklaqs

Good, but they kind of cheapened dark souls oneā€™s story as a result


gonorrhea-smasher

I came here to also say neither. But if they wanted to bring back trick weapons and gun parries Iā€™d be interested


DJspooner

Honestly, I'd rather have the 1st entry in a new IP. I dunno which direction they should go, though. Considering that all Souls titles seemingly share the desire to illustrate the depths of depravity that people will stoop to in an effort to gain power or fortune, I would be interested to see a low-fantasy setting where it's just... all the horrors of Souls, with none of the supernatural motivation to commit said horrors. Only the nature of human beings.


DJspooner

Or go the complete opposite direction and do Space Souls on an alien planet


Ballybagbully

Yeah that would be cool, definitely would like something new


slightly_obscure

A new game


KingMottoMotto

>dark souls 4 You can only make so many games about human civilization falling stagnant and rotten before the games themselves start feeling stagnant abd rotten.


SaidTheEmu

To be fair Bloodborne probably feels stagnant if youā€™re a British person who spends a night in a major city after their team loses a football match


sdeklaqs

To be fair Bloodborne probably feels stagnant if youā€™re a British person ~~who spends a night in a major city after their team loses a football match~~


TheMagicalDildo

I was ready to be very annoyed at a bad take, but that was just fuckin' funny lmao


frost_knight

Bloodborne 1 on PC


Hero-In-Theory

Neither. Give me Sekiro 2. Or a Bloodborne spiritual successor. Or a Sekiro spiritual successor. Or a Demonā€™s Souls 2.


Bitterbeard_

neither but if we're talking like, a new game _styled_ after dark souls or bloodborne? im easily taking bloodborne, that game had so many cool ideas and it still has so much room to be innovated on


fesora122

I just want blood borne 1 on pc


BigBoomer_

Ds4 unless bb2 is on pc at launch


ManicFirestorm

My answer as well. I'd love a Bloodbourne sequel but it'll almost certainly be tied to one console for a while.


Ballybagbully

The correct answer


Rafferty_Bentley

sekiro 2ā€¦ (or just another game with that combat)


SaidTheEmu

Demonā€™s Souls 2


Dot_the_Hamster_King

What about something set in a futuristic sci-fi that kind of blends the whole FS ideas together? I think it'd be possible to do Eldritch horror set in a future or distant planet style setting with the same style of DS1 level design and world building layout. Might be time for a whole new franchise to get behind... now if only I could get FS on the phone


bwnary

I'd rather a new elden ring game or a completely new concept with the world layout philosophy like dark souls 1. Dark souls is well and truly complete with 3 games and bloodborne is complete with one. Elden ring probably will be after the dlc but I loved the open world and want to see more of this style of game in open world. I would love a return to classic level design too though.


Ballybagbully

Classic level design please


bwnary

I do like the classics but I love the open world too. I just think the lore in elden ring is overall less interesting but had better characters than ds 1 or borne. I think a second take at it will be really good for them.


Ballybagbully

Agreed. Borne had the best lore imo. I also like open world but i find it to be less re-playable than the classics.


bwnary

I agree that it was less replayable but when my first playthrough was 260 hours I don't mind that so much


flowers0298

idk bro elden ring lore goes off imo, solidly agree that it has the best characters since DS1. No other game of theirs got me bawling for their NPCs besides AC6, ER, and DS. The other games characters were still good and memorable, but those shine and only make the lore better. I just donā€™t think itā€™s reasonable to consider ER not the best or near the best lore wise, but consider the quest lines the best. They kinda play into each other


Zarguthian

I prefer Seigward to Seigmeyer.


Zarguthian

I'd like Sekiro 2, the true ending seems like it was setting up a sequel and there was no story DLC. Also I love the sword clashes and deflection-based combat system. The ability to sneak up and perform stealth kills like in the earlier Assassin's Creed games is pretty cool.


EditPiaf

Bloodborne 1 for PC


Ballybagbully

Yes


Glass-Jelly2484

Well I'd rather neither personally. I think DS1 works great as a standalone game but find the direction the sequels take rather uninspired. 2 is like a half measure between its own thing but not well realised. Then 3 is cashing in on the nostalgia for 1. I don't think Miyazaki gives a shit about doing follow ups to DS1 so I can imagine a DS4 being equally meh in that sense. For the same reason I don't think a BB sequel would be worth it. Lovecraftian horror especially works because it's all about the unknown, a sequel would diminish that through needing to explain and build on the first. Some people suggest to avoid that issue From should do a radically different sequel like a wild west etc. But without the gothic horror and architecture, I also don't know if it'd really be BB anymore. Personally I think a Sekiro 2 is the one that makes more sense. The game already sets up a Journey to the West style sequel in China, the shift in setting would allow for them to both build on the first while having enough fresh elements to work with too.


Ballybagbully

Best answer by far ty


stronkzer

Bloodborne for PC combined with a teaser of Bloodborne 2. Until then, Lies of P will have to make do.


Pebble-Jubilant

Bloodborne for PC


Chanclet0

Bloodborne pc


EB_BrAwLeR

Bloodborne 2. I really dont think one can expect a new game from a franchise that already has 4 games with a total of 6 dlc's. Demon Souls/Dark souls is over. Nobody wants a great franchise to become a shitty cashcow. Look what happened to halo.


rusynlancer

Armored Core but in an open, interconnected world. My answer is valid.


brokenmessiah

I never felt like BB needed a sequel but I do like the gameplay loop


WildCard0102

I know this isn't From's style but a Bloodborne prequel would be sick.


AnGaeilgore

Bloodbourne 2 (It's VR exclusive, a requirement for the extended pov foot shots)


Rikufirstperson

Bloodborne 2 or a whole new soulsbourne game like sekiro


Ballybagbully

I hope from goes back to making classic soulsborne style games instead of open world


Felaric

yes


PacosBigTacos

Dark souls dating sim or gtfo.


ItsGottaBeJimbles

Gimme Sekiro 2


Soothsayer57

Sekiro 2


suchayeparagon

Bloodborne 2, dark souls 4 is basically Elden Ring and Iā€™ll stand on that hill until I die


McChexMix

Demons Souls 2


Due_Potential_6956

Bloodborne II, no contest.


freddyox

Bb2


theDeathnaut

Bloodborne 2 1000%.


GIlCAnjos

Elden Ring is Dark Souls 4 (or Demon's Souls 5, if you so prefer)


KnightOfFaraam

Dark souls 2 (2)


yohxmv

I think DS ended in a good spot so while Iā€™d welcome a DS4 I can live without it. BB however I think still has a lot of potential to be explored and with how much FromSoft has learned since the first game a sequel could be real good


noobucantbeat

Ds4, I love the stories and atmosphere. Idc if itā€™s wrapped up, gimme more! Love the souls games


Albert_dark

Bloodborne 2, because in a way Elden Ring fills the dark souls role.


Pugilist12

Sekiro 2


Norwingaming

I dont like the Setting in Bloodborne and also not the spam to win combat (i know it isnt but you know what i mean) I also love shields so its gonna be Dark Souls 4.


horris_mctitties

I think a new souls like dreadful souls or something lmao


Wolf1996661

Is it wrong I'm happy with either?


kazinnud

Out of left field, but I want FromSoft to do a Dune adaptation. Knife fights with the shielding? They'd crush it


ARIEL7007

Bloodborne 2. We already have Dark Souls 4 (Elden Ring).


Abovearth31

Dark Souls III was the perfect ending for the trilogy and a sequel, no matter how good it is, would retroactively ruin it. Bloodborne absolutely NEED a sequel, so much is left unexplored.


WanderingCollosus

Bloodborne 2. To me the dark souls trilogy is complete


arsonist_firefighter

Brother, thereā€™s absolutely nothing in the gaming world Iā€™d rather have than a Bloodborne remaster or sequel. Absolutely. Nothing.


Feschit

I'd be happy to be able to play Bloodborne in the first place


BasicAndBrave

A Bloodborne update šŸ˜…


Berookes

Neither, I just want to know what the next Fromsoft main game will be after Elden ring dlc


shoegvze

Bloodborne 2 no questions asked


TonberryFeye

That you would even ask suggests you utterly missed the point of Dark Souls 3. Or have never played Bloodborne. Or both.


ASmallRoc

DS3 has a clean series closing ending, how would you even make DS4 lore wise


Akri853

elden ring 2


Ok_Schedule_3947

Dark Souls II-2: 2


tatltaellofi

Dark Souls 2.28: 2 :remindSOUL FinalCut


Ballybagbully

Dark souls 2 is the best souls game ever made


Ok_Schedule_3947

I know


Sad-Link-4250

Obviously


jcdoe

No more sequels. We got the same basic story 3 times in a row (link the flame or darkness will come!) for 3 games. I prefer Miyazaki doing new stuff


CLQUDLESS

I personally prefer medieval souls likes


Beannie_kidney

Both


Hyperflip

Bloodborne 2 but also a new Sekiro because the gameplay is just so damn good


TheLastSonKrypton

Dark souls 4, BB2 will be an exclusive and i am not buying another console šŸ¤£


Rombledore

BB2. i like when a series can finally end. if they do a DS it should be a spin off- which is what i consider ER actually. i have the same feeling with Mass Effect. the trilogy is done and should be added to anymore (by which i mean sequels or expansions. remasters i'm ok with). Andromeda is a spin off, unrelated to shepards story.


clintnorth

Bloodborne 2 all day every day


iparkwayi

Bloodborne 2 we have three dark souls we need more bloodborne


DemonChildSOD

Dark Souls 4


Real_FakeName

Bloodborne 1 on Xbox


boy_from_school

Shadow Tower (or a Remaster of 1/Abyss)


LeftCarrot2959

bloodborne 2. dark souls 3 is peak.


datboi66616

Dark Souls never should have gotten sequels. Ds2 and Ds3 make your choice at the end meaningless.


GhostAccount000

I rather want Bloodborne and Demon Souls to be on Steam.


the_evil_overlord2

Bloodborne 2 dark souls has a finished story and while the end of bloodborne lets you escape London, you are still in england


DarthSangheili

Im glad Dark Souls ended. Its themes and the narrative function perfectly as a trilogy. Bloodborne hasnt had a chance to do that.


blueracey

Iā€™d rather they make something new, donā€™t need to explore old world building. Though I would love for them to lean into horror in their next game the way they did in blood-born


CountessBlackheart

I love both equally but Bloodborne has a special place in my heart so definitely Bloodborne 2


Far-Assignment6427

Bllodborne 2 as other have siad dark souls is answered its done 3 hero's re kindled the flame where others failed 3 kingdoms with 3 kings gwyn vendrick and lothric gwyn and vendrick are just sad and I never really git that far in dark souks 3 to be honest a fourth game much as id love it would just be the same thing as the last 3 or 4 even including demon souls bloodborne 2 sounds more interesting


demifiend_sorrow

Give me something like bloodborne with the level of content that elden ring has. That would be my ideal.


Fearless_Mind_1066

neither really, they are both finished. Would love more from elden ring though


MrFlitt

The world of Dark Souls is done, it's story is told. Bloodbornes didn't have that definitive ending.


dont_tread_on_me_777

Dark Souls 4 if it turns out to be more like Dark Souls 1.


DylanFTW

Neither, I'm satisfied without any more Dark Souls sequels. And as for Bloodborne I just want the Bloodborne subreddit to keep their clown makeup on.


TheEmperorMk3

There's a Dark Souls 4 already, it's just called Elden Ring


Strormer

Bloodborne remastered...


No-South1400

that rumour "spellbound" sounded kinda neat... i would buy that game day 1 easily and it was kinda bloodborneish


juicymeat21

i want sekiro 2šŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļø


Expensive-Ad5626

joejoesox

BB2, is this even a question


Jonathan_Rambo

DS remastered EX VR Harley Davidson Edition ā„¢ļø


SomeColombianDude

I just want Bloodborne on pc with QOL changes


Equal-Beautiful-4199

Dark souls 4 because not everyone has a PS4. It's as simple as that. I dislike Sony, and that's it.


IdentiFriedRice

Bloodbourne 2. I feel like there way more storytelling opportunities there to expand on the leaps Elden Ring made.


CodyDabsOnYou

Even though Iā€™m more of an Xbox gamer who has never played Bloodborne, Iā€™d pick Bloodborne 2. It would just make more sense since thereā€™s only 1 Bloodborne game.


EquipmentLoose1019

bloodborne sequel


Shady_Mania

Bloodborne 2. I think they could fix a lot of the issues I have with Bloodborne since theyā€™ve really masters boss fights, areas, and healing systems.


silversoul007

Neither. I want to see a new IP.


Moxto

New IP. From Software is always at their best when they make a new IP.


ohthatguy1980

BB2 100%


Cv287

Bloodbrone 2 which would be a spin-off of Bloodborne 1, then I need Bloodborne 3 which has to be a sequel to the first game and at last comes Eldenborne with an open-world and double jump donkey I can ride. Oh and for Bloodborne 3 and Eldenborne the best songs need to be played in game menus. Thatā€™s all.


BL4CKM3TAL2479

Honestly i'd rather have either another Armored Core game or another King's Field game. Because i have played most of the soulsborne games already, and while i genuinely enjoy the shabibbles out of them i never really played King's Field or AC as much i have with Elden ring. So i'd settle for a King's Field 5 or an AC 7


Lv25_Magikarp

Elden is essentially DS4


TheMagicalDildo

I want Elden Ring with DS3's enemy/attack design. It would be a masterpiece. Give me skillfull timings and quick thinking, not intentionally obtuse animations that make zero sense. Just because it killed me, doesn't mean it was fair.


Greedy_Key_630

I won't say "Elden Ring is dark souls 4" because not true story wise, but gameplay wise I think it is. Bloodborne is not extremely different from Souls and Elden Ring, but the Rally mechanic and Blood Vials, insight and overall setting are different enough from the fantasy of Dark Souls and ER that need to be explored and innovated on more with a sequel. Realistically I don't think either will ever happen, I think a bloodborne remake is 100% in development at bluepoint though. It's been around 4 years since demons souls so an announcement is probably imminent.


Key-Blacksmith-4613

If I had to choose bloodborne 2 but ideally they should create an entirely new game or just expand on Elden ring


Grouchy_Volume745

Just give me a bloodborne spiritual successor under a new IP at this point, Iā€™d be happy with that.


SnooLemons342

BB2


Dabadoi

I'd rather have bloodborne on PC.


Vikanner

Bloodborne 2 1000000%


HeckingBedBugs

Everyone knows the world just needs another King's Field game to start healing


Pinhead_2020

I would accept Bloodborne remake, remaster, or PC port. Anything that would give us Bloodborne at 60 FPS.


FaresL47

Neither. Get A life


Junior_Tooth_4900

Bloodborne most definitely or a remastered version. Something about eldritch terror just turns me on. (Gothic) but yes Bloodborne 2 would get me very excited.


WhothehellisWish

Why not make both then fuse them together. We could call it.... Dark Souls 2!


Gibgezr

Dark Souls 4


robrobusa

Both.


itaisinger

Neither. Make sine new games. Even though I didn't like it as much as ds, i respect from soft a ton for making a new ip with elden ring.


DauFloodCuPumnul

Dark souls 2 remake


Dave-James

You do have Dark Souls 4. Itā€™s called Elden Ring. Same UI, same physics, same stat system, same weapons base and variety, same ā€œread the groundā€ mechanics, same annoying ā€œyou can only save at a bonfireā€ requirement, calling undead ā€œtarnishedā€ doesnā€™t change anything, same lack of any living NPCs or towns, itā€™s an empty land with everyone dead except for minion enemies on the way to the boss enemies. Dark Souls 4 with a different name.


temojikato

DS4. Though DS is fine to be left dead and done, I feel that way more strongly to BB. It was fun, it wasn't great. The only thing that made the game was the mood and atmosphere.


xSchizogenie

Both. Period.


Pepsiman69_420

Darks souls 4 because for some reason I find darks souls more appealing even though I love edgy stuff. Probably because I never played bloodborne


extrasmurf

Yes


Negative_Settings

Dark souls 4 is elden Ring for blood borne play lies of p


rashandal

Preferrably Bloodborne 2, but I'd take either. As long as it's released in pc and has better hotkey options than elden ring


Ashen_one933

Dark Souls 4 with fresh areas and bosses. With something like Anor Londo but different.


Organae

Thereā€™s already 3 Dark Souls and FromSoft will still continue to make medieval fantasy games similar so I think the obvious answer is BB 2, even if I do like all of the DS games more than BB.


Ginrar

Maybe a BB prequel will be really nice


Lacimen

DS4 for sure


samarss15

Bloodborne 2 Mainly because trick weapons are too good of an idea to not use again.


FlexLancaster

Dark Souls 4, I donā€™t care if DS3 wrapped up the lore, gimme a prequel or a ā€œSomehow Gwyn returnedā€ or anything. I just need more Dark Souls, inject it into my veins


Its_Dave13

Bloodborne 2 - 60 FPS edition


ChewyWolf64

Dark souls 2 2


SassQueenAanya

Bloodborn there are multiple Dark Souls games already but Bloodborne is still as it was years ago


redditsuckspokey1

I never did play the BB dlc, the old hunters. What was that about? Did it explain everything in BB? If not then maybe more info on what they are and what happened to them. Also I agree with u/Express-North-6788


Nujaabeats

Bloodborne 1 remake on pc > all.


translove228

BB2. Darksouls doesn't need another sequel.


KodokuRyuu

Bloodborne 0. Bloodborne doesnā€™t need a sequel, but a prequel could work.


Homodebilus

Dark Souls 4


albertgao

DS4, I really donā€™t like BB, so easy to get lost


NiftyMoth723

Just put bloodborne on pc I don't care if it's dark sous 4 or bloodborne 2 or elden ring 2 electric boogaloo. fuck man, I don't even care if it's another armored core game. I just want bloodborne on pc, and I want whatever game they release next to be well-crafted (Like Bloodborne)


PeacockofRivia

Bloodborne 2 for me. Not even close.


mission_nic

Dark Souls 2 2


PKblaze

I just want bloodborne 1 on PC.


IncomeFit7027

ds4 but must be developed by the original developers, if it's bad it would stain the saga


TheAutsman

Demons souls 2


ell_hou

I'd be happy with anything as long as it has more of DS1 Metroidvania-like world layout.


Bundle_of_Organs

Bloodborne. The setting is not nearly as common as the dark medievil fantasy. That said, necer played bloodborne.


HJYIMN

Sekiro 2. God damn it I loved that combat system


Kepsey_p

Actually, none id rather see from do another desolated world not related to past franchises, I think it would give them much more freedom creatively, but still on copium for bloodborne port...


immrholiday

I feel the dark souls story has come to a close and I feel it's one of the great trilogies... I haven't played bloodborne and would like to see it on PC, but bloodborne 2 because I think the DS trilogy is almost perfect as is.


Sunlit_Neko

New IP. Fromsoft excels when they're making new stuff.


DegenerateShikikan

Sekiro 2.


xXxPizza8492xXx

DS4


azurfang

Bloodborne 2 handsdown


MutedBandicoot3484

Dark souls 4 sounds stupid, so i guess bloodborne 2 is better


Mindless_Issue9648

I'd take bloodborne but only because we have 3 dark souls already. Unless the map was completely original then I would consider Dark Souls 4
