Dark Souls fans have been waiting for a new release in the series for a very long time, and they're desperate for anything they can get their hands on. There's great news: a brand-new Dark Souls release has officially been confirmed for September 29, leaving only a month before gamers can dive back into the lore.
The Dark Souls series was a major factor in FromSoftware's rise in the early-to-mid 2010s, helping set the standard for the Soulslike genre that others would try to live up to for years to come. While it technically started with Demon's Souls in 2009, mainstream success didn't arrive until Dark Souls two years later. But there has been no new release in the series since 2018's Dark Souls Remastered, and no brand-new mainline game since Dark Souls 3 in 2016. It's not without demand - FromSoftware has simply moved on to other things, leaving fans desperate for more.
It may be a pioneer in the action RPG space and a classic game in its own right, but in 2026, Dark Souls can be tough to pick up again.
