Difficult Games Won't Go Away

Dark Souls developer, From Software says it won't stop making difficult games anytime soon.

During this week's Tokyo Game Show, Dark Souls II director Yui Tanimura said that difficult games are now the "minority" in the video game industry. But it won't stop the Japanese studio from making them even harder.

"Other than focusing on a dark fantasy world, we're focusing more on making players experience the sense of accomplishment," he said. "That's what we have been always pursuing for all games that From Software has created. We are aware that creating [games] featuring higher difficulty is becoming a minority in this industry. But that's what From Software has been working on. In order to bring a sense of accomplishment to the players, that's something we have to keep, stick with it, and keep remaining to do for all the upcoming titles that we will be creating."

The latest game released by From Software is Dark Souls II, while the next one is the PlayStation 4 exclusive role-playing game Bloodborne. Bloodborne is scheduled for a release in North America and Europe on February 6.
