How does the same rumour keep coming up, despite not a lick of information by From Software? That’s the nature of rumours at times – some of them refuse to die. Like the rumour that Demon’s Souls 2 will be coming to the PlayStation 4.

On the PlayStation Blog, Atlus PR manager John Hardin confirmed that it’s just not happening. “PS Blog Exclusive: can 100% confirm there will NOT be a Demon Souls 2.”

How did the rumour start? There’s been rumours for a while now that Sony is looking to create a successor to From Software’s Demon’s Souls. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be Demon’s Souls 2. It could in fact be a whole new game in the same vein, much like how Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls.

Whatever it may be called though, if it’s Demon’s Souls 2, it’s not coming to the PS4. Stay tuned for more updates on the same and on From Software’s upcoming Dark Souls 2.

“It’s been months and at that point I had no idea what the ‘launch event’ even was. But at that time I was told ‘They are thinking about showing the Demon’s Souls spiritual successor’ there. Now many people here have been calling it Demon’s Souls 2… it might be. I’m just passing on what was said. Also, at that point there were arguments about whether it was going to be shown at Gamescom or TGS and then someone decided it would be shown at this.”

Of course, he himself has doubts whether this will be the actual reveal. “Months have passed. They may have chosen a different game. I have no clue. I’m just sharing what I’ve been told, WHICH IS OLD Info, so don’t kill the messenger if i’m wrong. There’s things I’m certain about. This isn’t one of them.”

Nonetheless, what if it really is Demon’s Souls 2? It could possibly be something else. Heck, maybe more it’s more information on Deep Down, which some one might have called the spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls in passing, or an announcement of Dark Souls 2, whose predecessor is the actual spiritual successor, for the PS4. We’ll find out tonight.
