This would be amazing but i think it's too early.



Hopefully something I can actually get behind and not anything too silly. at the same time.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

they have multiple teams, 3 in fact. so its very possible.

Cyberpunk is already announced. 

Also, what's the third team?

I know only of 2. The main one that made Dark Souls 1,3 and Bloodborne (in collaboration with Sony Japan) and the other one that made Dark Souls 2.

well it seems their success has allowed them to grow in numbers. hopefully the RPG is bloodborne 2. 

well cyber punk is technicially announced yes, but they could just show it off with and count the rereveal as an "announcement". 



For a western audience... that doesnt sound like a good thing imo. Everything great theyve ever done appealed to Japan. For the most part its the westerners who like Japanese games/media that then buy it when it comes to the west.
Well hopefully Im wrong and this was just worded poorly.
