Recently, GiantFreakinRobot announced that an anime adaptation of the popular game Dark Souls is in the works. It is known that this is an action role-playing game, with extremely attractive and beautiful 3D graphic design.
Dark Souls is a trilogy of video games developed by Fromsoftware Games and published by Bandai Namco. It is also considered one of the best video game franchises of all time.
Dark Souls is set in a fictional medieval fantasy world called Lordan. The world of Lordan is full of Dragons, Knights, Kings and Demons, including many other supernatural beings. Lordan is also known as the land of the ancient Lords, and is home to the four Lords of Fire. Each installment of the series has a different storyline, but they all take place in Lordan and repeat elements of the game.
Players will need to step by step defeat monsters, powerful bosses with damage and health several times the main character, to be able to complete the assigned tasks to find their own soul. .
When the game came out in 2011, it was an instant hit and won the “Game of the Year Award”. Even the Dark Souls game series is so famous that the “late birth” games with similar fighting gameplay like Elden Ring and Sekiro are collectively referred to as the “Soul series”. The common point is that the games are difficult, the mechanics are complex and enough to make casual gamers feel stressed when playing them.
According to insiders, Netflix will produce this anime adaptation after the success of Cyberpunk 2077 with the movie “Cyberpunk Edgerunners”. Currently, there is no official release date for the Dark Souls anime yet. An official announcement about the Dark Souls anime is expected in a few months.
Since the Dark Souls game was developed by a Japanese studio, the anime adaptation will most likely be animated by the Japanese studio under Netflix.
