A publication linked to the release of an important update of Dark
Souls 3. If the Dark Souls series managed to seduce players and
journalists, it was mainly by word of mouth. It was such a great
success that Dark Souls 2 was named "Game of the Year" 2014 by the
vast majority of gaming magazines and websites. To date, this saga
is one of the most important in the gaming industry. The odd thing
is that these games are well known for their difficulty and their
cryptic universe. This publication narrates the epic success story,
but also describes its gameplay mechanics and its specific lore
across more than 300 pages. Characters, plots and the scenario of
the three Souls (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II) are
deciphered by Damien Mecheri and Sylvain Romieu, who spent a long
year studying these dense and enigmatic games down to the smallest
detail.
This second volume dedicated to the Soulsborne series pursues the
study of these games, their cryptic stories, their aesthetic and
their design philosophy. Bloodborne and Dark Souls III are as
different as they are complementary. What they tell us of the
studio From Software, the creator Hidetaka Miyazaki's approach and
the video game industry is enriching. While the authors thought
they exhausted the topic in the first volume, these two additional
games provided food for new thoughts. This book deals with the
development process, the analysis of the stories and their themes,
and the music of each game. The last chapter, for its part, goes
beyond this scope to study the series with a transversal approach,
from the visual influences and marketing choices to the evolutions
of the games.
