Gamers who enjoy a hardcore challenge are no strangers to the world of Dark Souls. With its visually striking aesthetics and punishing gameplay, this game easily sets itself apart from others, making it the perfect benchmark for testing a gamer’s skill and patience.
Recently, a leak has surfaced, bringing joy to gamers as it reveals that Dark Souls is finally getting an anime adaptation. Here’s everything we know about the Dark Souls Anime.
GiantFreakinRobot, a trusted insider known for accurately reporting on numerous rumors about movies and series in the past, has leaked information that an anime based on FromSoftware’s Dark Souls is currently in development by Netflix. Although the official announcement is still pending, the credibility of this leak is bolstered by the insider’s track record, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
Dark Souls Anime Release date
Since there has not been any official announcement, the release date of the series is not confirmed yet. At the moment, Netflix is in schedule of developing another anime series Castlevania: Nocturne which will air 28 September, 2023.
The Dark Souls series consists of three games, each loosely connected to the others. Based on the leaks, the anime series may primarily adapt events from the first game.
Plot of Dark Souls
Dark Souls is an action role playing game developed by FromSoftware, with Hidetaka Miyazaki directing and producing the game. The game is set in a medieval period of fictional Kingdom of Lordan, where the four lords once defeated dragons from the fire of first flame which manifested the world and began the age of fire.
The player takes the role of an undead who sets on a pilgrimage to decide the fate of humanity suffering from undead curse.
For those unaware, the game’s director, Miyazaki, openly expressed his direct inspiration from Kentaro Miura’s acclaimed manga, Berserk. Fans can easily discern the subtle resemblances in the world and character designs between the game and the manga.
What Made Dark Souls Special?
Dark Souls offers a unique combination of visual aesthetics, a captivating story, intricate level designs, and deep combat mechanics. What truly sets it apart is the relentless difficulty of its boss fights, giving rise to a separate genre known as “Soulslike” or “Soulsborne.”
While several soulslike games have been developed by other companies, none have been able to match the unparalleled appeal of Dark Souls.
With the anticipation for the Dark Souls Anime building, fans eagerly await any official updates from Netflix. Until then, enthusiasts can revel in the excitement of witnessing their favorite game come to life in this new and immersive medium.
