Elden Ring, Sekiro Demonstrate an Impactful Leap for Soulslikes

Unless FromSoftware suddenly decided to quit developing Soulslike games after Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, it seems fair to estimate that Soulslike games will continue to appear in droves in the near future, whether by FromSoftware or other studios. It’s been exciting to see how non-FromSoftware developers have approached their own inspired takes on the subgenre, and now that it certainly is not a niche subgenre by any means, that creativity in crafting a unique Soulslike experience might only make them that much more enticing.
