Whereas Change homeowners sadly by no means noticed a launch for FromSoftware’s critically acclaimed Darkish Souls III, we have seen loads from the franchise and wider ‘Souls’ style with the launch of Darkish Souls: Remastered and the pixel artwork homage Blasphemous.
Nicely, it now seems that Thomas Feichtmeir, an artist who labored on Blasphemous, truly as soon as pitched an thought to writer Bandai Namco for a 2D pixel artwork model of Darkish Souls III. As noticed by our associates over at Time Extension, the revelation was revealed on Twitter with an accompanying mock-up screenshot added to show how the sport might need appeared.
Clearly, the artwork type could be very a lot harking back to Blasphemous, and we’re actually fairly dissatisfied that this undertaking by no means noticed the sunshine of day. Contemplating Change homeowners have been all the time unlikely to get the OG Darkish Souls III, this different 2D metroidvania would have been the proper different. Certainly, even Feichtmeir himself is just not fairly positive as to why the undertaking wasn’t inexperienced lit.
Nonetheless, he states in a Twitter reply that the undertaking was “an actual job”, and that “the artwork was created in a mode which might have been doable within the common price range estimations of metroidvanias again then.”
Would you will have appreciated to see a 2D Metroidvania based mostly on Darkish Souls III? Reckon it could have come to Change if it had been inexperienced lit? Tell us within the feedback!
