Rumors suggest that a Dark Souls anime is coming to Netflix

The report also shared that the anime will likely be set during the events of the original game - the second Age of Fire in the fantasy world of Lordran which is home to knights, dragons, demons, and other supernatural creatures.

In the original Dark Souls, humans are afflicted by an undead curse, the Darksign. The story follows the protagonist, one of the cursed undead, in their quest to acquire the Lord Souls and fulfill a prophecy.

Netflix has successfully adapted several video game adaptations over the years, the most successful of which is Castlevania. The series was very well received by fans and lasted four seasons on the streaming platform with a spin-off coming in September..

More recently, Cyberpunk: Edgerunner helped rejuvenate interest in Cyberpunk 2077, nearly two years after it first hit the storeshelves. The game was launched in an unfinished state and had numerous game-breaking bugs and glitches. The title also suffered from poor performance on the previous generation platforms.

Finally, Netflix has a live-action adaptation of The Witcher which stars Henry Cavill. The final episodes of Season 3 were just recently released on the streaming platform and mark the end of Cavill's tenure as Geralt of Rivia.

We have high hopes for the rumored Dark Souls anime given Netflix's success with previous video game adaptations. We're hoping it's as good if not better than Castlevania.
