Gluttons for punishment rejoice! Hardcore title Demon's Souls is getting a sequel, or at the very least, a soul-crushingly difficult spiritual successor. Dark Souls is being developed by From Software, the same company that created the original Demon's Souls. It appears that the world will be a single sprawling area, instead of using a "hub" as in the previous title. Characters will not be shoehorned into a class upon creation, allowing for gamers to explore different play styles. It appears that the messaging system and co-op style of Demon's Souls will be intact, while the story from this game is unrelated to the previous entry. How many players will be supported is still unknown.
