Dark Souls Company, From Software, Might Be Working on New Anime For Popular Game

by

FromSoftware has established itself as a powerhouse in the gaming industry with hits like “Dark Souls,” “Demon’s Souls,” and “Elden Ring.” With Alex Garland set to pen and direct an adaptation of “Elden Ring’s” “The Lands Between,” it’s possible that FromSoftware may expand its reach beyond games. A recent domain registration hints at the possibility of FromSoftware venturing into anime production for the first time, potentially creating their very own animated series.

Lately, From Software and manga company Kadokawa have reserved a website domain titled “Sekiro-Anime.” Although this doesn’t guarantee an anime adaptation, given the rich narrative in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, it could be an excellent choice for an animated series. The game is one of From Software’s most story-focused titles to date, providing clear plot points unlike their previous games such as the Souls series and Bloodborne. While the story may have differed from other From Software games, the challenging gameplay of Sekiro held its ground among tough competitors in the gaming industry. At this moment, not much else is known about a potential anime based on Sekiro, but it looks like From Software might be exploring opportunities beyond video games for their captivating tales.

What’s a Sekiro Anyway?

Shadows Die Twice” is set in a time period resembling feudal Japan and primarily follows the character known as Wolf. He’s tasked with safeguarding a member of the royal family while battling humans and supernatural creatures. After receiving the name “Sekiro,” our protagonist gains some form of immortality, much like characters in other games by From Software. This allows him to reappear after death, akin to those titles’ mechanics. Throughout the game, Sekiro struggles against numerous supernatural dangers as he endeavors to save Kuro, encountering adversaries that seem too familiar for an assassin like himself.

In 2019, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows platforms, quickly garnering widespread acclaim upon its release. However, not all From Software games are set to receive follow-ups, and as of now, no news has been shared about a return to this particular universe. Although specific plot details about a potential anime adaptation have yet to be disclosed, the challenging and popular game offers numerous aspects that could be explored further.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the upcoming Elden Ring movie, and here’s what I know so far. Award-winning director Alex Garland, along with game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, are both involved in the project. However, as of now, production has yet to commence, and no specific details about the story set in the “Lands Between” have been disclosed. Given that George R.R. Martin, the genius behind Game of Thrones, helped create Elden Ring’s original world, it will be fascinating to see if he lends his creative touch to this live-action film as well.
