Details emerge about the next FromSoftware game after Armored Core VI

A rumor suggests that FromSoftware's next game could be 'Spellbound,' a spiritual successor focusing on magic and action gameplay in an open-world setting, potentially releasing in Q1 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The timeline for Spellbound would somewhat mirror Elden Ring. At least, the part that the

first official reveal

happened at a Summer Game Fest although it was confirmed two years earlier at E3 2019.

However, unlike Elden Ring, Spellbound will see FromSoftware go back to its Soulsborne roots but with more emphasis on magic and a focus on the action aspect of the gameplay and less on RPG.

From the leaked details, we can tell FromSoftware will double down on the open-world element after Elden Ring. It's said SpellBound will have a massive dungeon with a city inside where the game's events will happen and an open world beyond for you to explore.

The leaker explains that, while Spellbound has a huge map, it should still be "slightly smaller" compared to Elden Ring.

The source is a massive info dump that may or may not be real. And, while most would say that it's too detailed to turn out to be false, you won't believe the lengths some people will go to for the sake of whatever they think is fun.

One Reddit user

summed up Spellbound best when they said, "Someone played Hogwarts and wrote some Fromsoft fan fiction."

We highly doubt FromSoftware's next big AAA title will be ready by 2025, especially in light of recent revelations. It's likely sitting on

at least one more massive DLC

for Elden Ring aside from Shadow of the Erdtree. This doesn't include Armored Core VI either. The latest mainline Armored Core entry could get extensive post-launch support

depending on how well it sells on August 25

.

But, on the offchance that the leak is true, we're genuinely curious to find out how a FromSoftware game that's exclusive to current-gen consoles would look.

Until then, please join us and others in wishing that FromSoftware will reconsider releasing a PS5 patch for Bloodborne.
