UPDATE: Spellbound has been debunked. This was an elaborate fake leak, but has been disproven by legitimate insiders.
Then delete the video?
you know you're a dumb ape when you see a low quality picture of a random drawing and say "DIS DUR BEST LEEK 4EVER" like buddy just stop making videos
@@bilirubinator lol this guy gets it
@@bilirubinatorBecause a lot of the basic ideas were friggin' brilliant and other game devs should take note?
That's a _massive_ shame.
It would've been nice to have had a dedicated game like Sekiro for Casters, that way Caster gameplay could finally get an actual update over the damn Tower Defense Simulator gameplay that has been plaguing the series.
There are so many issues with the current Caster gameplay formulate, but instead of actually making some real improvements, FROM decides to sweep it under the rug and tells you to play as a Spellblade instead of resolving the glaring issues.
The literal number one complaint against Caster gameplay is the lack of overall interaction between the player vs enemies, which makes the encounters overall easier to complete. Instead of finally fixing the issue in Elden Ring, they have doubled down on staying with these problems ever since DS3.
One thing to keep in mind is that Miyazaki has repeatedly said in interviews that he works on gameplay elements before adding a story. If this is the case, it’s possible he wouldn’t need a co-author until later in the development process.
Isn't that how a lot of game studios make their games work though? First they think about the gameplay and design of the levels and than they make the world building and story.
@@user-hq6kn5vp2qnot necessarily always. Some studios pitch an idea they like, and publishers will say, ok make a game around it
This is true but that changed in elden ring so there is a chance that he does it again
What i think your quoting is when Myazaki said that he is creating storys around the Gameplays Limitations. So they probably have some gameplay prototypes like as an example for Bloodborne the trick weapons and dash or for sekiro the deflecting and prostetic arm and then they create the story around this
Not really true since RR martin gave Fromsoft the Elden ring story years before it was even in development.
the problem with basing the probability of the leak's accuracy on "this is how previous fromsoft games were leaked" is that people who make fake leaks know that too. It could very easily be made to look legitimate by following a pre-existing formula.
None of this looks like reliable information to me.
Even if it’s not fromsoft might look at the reactions and make a game off it if people seem interested i generally think sometimes the leaks give devs ideas as it let them see what people are excited about
Yeah this looks fake to me. Ziostorm bro you jumping the gun man.
There is also a fourth possibility, which is Spellbound was planned very early on, but got Sanderson onboard later to design the magic system.
Which would make sense, since practically everything about Casters outside of spells was extremely barebones in Elden Ring.
Rather than make a gamble change to Casters in a big title, having an entirely separate game dedicated to actually updating Casters would make sense.
Or Sanderson had been onboard the whole time and was faking being upset they worked with Martin instead
so you gonna get a writer just to design the magic system? the guy who made the most generic magic system for books wouldnt be chosen for magic system for a video game because lore usually doesnt decide that stuff and also because he doesnt know anything about game design and game balancing
@@Battleguild I wouldn’t call it “extremely barebones”, specially compared to previous souls games. But yeah, obviously a lot of spells are still designed as complementary tools and not the primary mechanic. Thought some builds could make you think Elden Ring is a third person shooter.
@@revenant097
Elden Ring Caster Faults:
R2 is a dead button
L2 Ash of War choices are basically nonexistent
L1 (2-Handed) is pointless and can't even Guard Counter
Seals/Staves can't be Infused
Selecting spells mid-combat is still cumbersome
No Passive FP Regen Talisman
'FP on Death' is flat instead of percentage
'FP Regen Items' extremely limited per NG
Excessive reliance on DMG+ buff/equipment stacking
Cast Speed is determined by Dexterity
No Catalyst Shield or Weapon
No Hybrid Catalyst
Certain Spells aren't ambidextrous
I woulld love for Fromsoftware to take inspiration from Tsutomu Nihei's works. navigating a megastructure, with pockets of civilization embedded here or there, defunct technology and relics from eras past.
We need more Blame!/Biomega inspired games. The massive scale and sense of decay fits FS style perfectly.
That would suit armoured core imo
One with a focus on open mission combat with linear levels
That would be cool
Oh, the Blame! guy. Yes!
ooh noo, the blame guys have infested even the souls community
@@mum-your what is bro babbling on about
I am a HUGE Brandon Sanderson fan and I'll just tell you as a veteran reader of his books, if he was involved in From Software games they would stay at the top of gaming forever.
I’ve read the mistborn series twice and I re read stormlight every time the next book is coming out, so based on that I still don’t see any correlation in relation to the world or character depicted. However, if it’s based on an interesting magic system then I could definitely see a correlation there.
Yeah mate I've read them all as well
I didn't think the photo looked like Kal.
And the final empire takes place mostly out of Kredik Shaw. im sure Kel and vin go there once and then vin goes there at the end.
I think It's more likely that Sanderson produces a new magic system for from soft. Plus I hope he s more involved than Martin was in elden Ring. Also Sanderson is a lot faster and I like his style more
@@GerritTV187 Yeah martins touch is very slightly visible. I want brandon sandersons work to be clear to everyone if he works on spellbound.
1 thing I will correct is that the first book does not primarily take place in Kredik Shaw, its just the city as a whole the book takes place in for the most part
Brandon could very well have been acting and has been working with them before Elden Ring was even released. Also Mistborn definitely does not take place in a castle primarily but rather the entire city. High recommend his work however. I personally think going hollow in Dark Souls is inspired by his book Elantris where people get a "disease" where if they feel pain even something like a paper cut it never leaves. You always feel it and it never heals.
Jesus that sounds awful
Elantris was really great, a bit rough at times.but a worth while read, what really drew me to it was the concept, I was really interested to see how an author would go about making a story with that kind of premises.
And my goodness all these years and I never connected the Shaod to Hollowing at all.
@@Cold_Zero_The_Wiseyeah and Elantris actually predates Dark Souls by a looong time, which blew my mind
that hollowed concept is very generic and is used in many mythologies including japanes myth. its not a new concept. also "people get a "disease" where if they feel pain even something like a paper cut it never leaves. You always feel it and it never heals" can also be from grrm's game of thrones. he metnioned multiple times about that type of disease even in they first book released in the 90s. it was also shown in the recent fire and blood adaption but i didnt finish it tho so i dont know how much they covered in that show
also a similar disease has exsited long before even brandon sanderson was born in real life so, no, there is no way hollowing was inspired by elantris
I hope Spellbound is real, because honestly outside of spells, Casters have been absolutely shafted when it comes to updating the actual Caster gameplay.
Martial builds keep getting nice little updates with each game thats been released for the past 14 years, while Casters have been stuck with almost the exact same gameplay style since Demon's Souls.
at least FS made a step forward with ER that has a good range of melee spells
@@helnerim9987 Melee spells ideas are mostly for gish characters or just martial stuff reskinned as caster. Making blue sword out of staff to swing it same as longsword is not step forward. Is meh imo.
I think when people talk about better casters they want better ranged gameplay.
Chain casting was the update they needed. Let you very tactically and intelligently control a battlefield and come up with really cool combos.
And then it was patched out
@@WillowGreenheart
My two biggest gripes, are that Catalysts are treated as a supporting tool rather than the primary weapon for a Caster, and that it's Dexterity that's oddly tied to Cast Speed rather than Mind.
Early Caster Elden Ring gameplay, Casters basically have to play as a Spellblade instead of as a Caster until you can level Mind and your Spellcasting stat high enough so that your FP isn't entirely drained from a few minor encounters.
I honestly wouldn't mind the damage ceiling for spells being dropped a bit, if we could get some actual gameplay improvements.
I will say that the clothing looks similar to 17th-18th century garments rather than Victorian (19th-20th century) clothing, maybe if the Spellbound leak is real, this could lead to further details on the game’s setting.
Anything set between 1000 and 1995 gets called “Victorian” by UA-camrs. It’s pretty exasperating.
@@DregazI'm a total layman, and sadly ignorant of most pre-20th century European history, so can you guys tell me what the appropriate descriptor for the outfit would've been? Is there a name for that style?
Brandon Sanderson is a cool guy. Extremely generous, helpful, and kind person. He knows his stuff when it comes to fantasy and storytelling and has dedicated his life to it.
I'm not expecting perfection from the story or anything (no one and nothing is perfect), but I am excited nonetheless to see a collab between him and FromSoft.
If there are two things Sanderson has mastered, it's world building and magic systems. If we add a dark souls like story on top, I don't know how it could go wrong
Im still not convinced that all Martin wrote in Elden Ring was the line "Marika's tits, you must be hungry!"
He wrote pretty much everything that happened before the shattering seen a interview with him In
For anybody who takes these leaks seriously- y’all should remember there were raging leaks after DS3 about how the next game would be a native american/mayan setting with martial arts as the combat system.
Guess what they were all fake and we got Elden Ring. I trust leaks as far as I can throw em’.
Come on don’t do this to me man… 😂 The second I realized you were gonna talk about a possible FromSoft game basing a magic system on Sanderson’s brains I just went “Oooooohhh!” Now I want this!
As someone who is a Cosmere fan (Brandon Sanderson's work), I'll say Cosmere fans have a thing where they see something vaguely similiar to one of Brandon's work and saying: this must be inspired by this. Either way what I've been seeing right now for the leaks is something that looks like a new fantasy work that can be made by anyone. So I'll personally say this does not disprove nor prove anything.
Sanderson’s works are my go-to comfort reading. I would love to see him team up with FromSoft.
While I read the Mistborn series a few years ago I remember thinking it would translate to a video game extremely well . Alamancy, the magic system in the books, is really interesting.
I want it to be real so bad
May I ask you Zio, What armours are that you have in your videos from elden ring?
It could just be that the source for the leakers is very optimistic about the release date. It might be real but just won't release in 2025
4:09 I love this map. It's no Lands Between but... I do hope it looks similar in an upcoming Souls game. Looks like more one-off adventures to me, if they don't mess up the dungeons. Especially if they were in a magic-bound World, dungeons could be more like Chalices so that could mean the lack of RANDOMNES issue getting solved after ER debacle. But that brings me back to SPELLFRAUD!! DANG! I know it's going to be smth-smth-magic, that I know 🧙♀🧙♂
This isn't even map of the world, it's map of just one city. A biggest one on the continent though, i must admit.
Cool, I don't care for the Open World. Give me a City with dungeons.
@@justaquietpeacefuldancePlay Bloodeborne
I am all for a magic centered game created by From software. One of my only gripes about the soul's games in general are flipping frantically between spells during fights. I wish they had a better system to organize spells especially if you are a mage class or a faith build. Maybe if they are creating this they will come up with a much better user interface on how to equip and use different spells much more fluently.
I think this is the same game that will be a PS5 exclusive as we have heard recently in leaks that Fromsoft is making an exclusive with Sony. Since Bloodborne is a PS exclusive, this Bloodborne successor will be an exclusive too.
You may be right but I sure hope not. It would really suck for everyone else who’s on different platforms and I think it would be a mistake on Fromsofts part in the long run but idk 🤷♂️ all I know is it would sure be a damn shame 😂😅
I really hope not. Not sure why fromsoft would even partner with Sony. I doubt they are paying them more than from could earn by making the game available on all platforms
@@nilan3294 Sony owns like 8% of From Software and Bloodborne was super successful and still is the best game Ive ever played. Demons Souls is absolutely amazing too (PS3 and PS5 version). So I would be hyped as fuck if Spellbound comes to PS5 only. There is a reason why PC and Playstation is considered by far the best gaming setup. I have a 4090 and 13900K but I also dont mind playing games on my PS5, especially if its From Software. Every From Software fan should have a Playstation, even if its just to play Bloodborne and Demons Souls. 100% worth it.
@@EldenLord.You are Just delusional and in love with a piece of plastic. There is no reason to be happy with the exclusion of a part of the playerbase that plays on Xbox or PC. There are a lot of fans on these platforms that are so invested in Fromsoftware games as you. I play since 2011, Dark Souls 1 launch on the Xbox, i have more Than 700h of gameplay in each Fromsoftware game with the exception of AC 6 and Sekiro(but i played at least 200h on Sekiro and 100h on AC 6). I play Bloodborne on my GF ps4 but i prefer to play on the Xbox, its where my friends are, i prefer the controller and system in general... Also a PS5 in my country costs 900 dollars, i dont want to buy It Just to play a single game without my friends. There are millions like me. This Just doesnt feel right. You Just want to brag about you can only play determined game on your platform. ER is on xbox there is no reason other games shouldnt. This isnt Bloodborne 2. Also Dark Souls as almost identical to Demons souls and It launched for the x360 so the games similarities with Bloodborne has nothing to do with exclusivity. (Sry for the bad english)
@@EldenLord. Bloodborne being "the best game you've played" doesn't mean anything regarding this. I agree, PC is the best, but that doesn't mean anything when less than half of all FS fans will be able to experience the game if it's released only on PlayStation. Being happy that a game is exclusive to one platform is scummy.
I love how your videos have metroid prime music in the background
The part with the magic the gathering cards was so awesome. Do you, by any chance have a video on from software inspirations? Or could you cover that in a future vid? I find this fascinating
I would so want this to be true, but I don't believe it! I won't until it is revealed for real! Here is to hoping we actually get this!
2024 Will be the year of DLCs for From, With an Elden Ring and surely an Armored Core Expansion coming out that year. 2025-26 It's gonna be the next major release i believe, however it will have to face the GTA 6 shockwave by then.
It wasn't until this year that I learned a game "going gold" means it's ready for release, I always thought it was like in the music industry when a record goes gold, which means it sold half a million copies, and I've always thought developers were just advertising how many preorders they've taken
i´m pretty sure, that brandon sanderson is working with fromsoft
but i dont know if he is already working on "spellbound" or maybe on a different project
btw, brandon sandersons books have a lot of elements from fromsoft games
Thank you so much for this. When you told me that the mistborn books may be the next theme for fromsofts game, I went out and bought the series that week. I ended up falling in love with all of Brandon’s works and reading again in general. I only have the lost metal and rhythm of war left to read from the cosmere. Thank you.
Note: luthadel is a capital city (of course with a castle) Oh please let this be true!
Note to the time needed: Brandon Sanderson writes 2 books in the time it takes for Martin to write a page it's ridiculous how fast this guy releases his books. (Some stormlight Audio books have a recording time of 30+ hours)
Sanderson is so good at world building and imho the magic in his books is amazing!
His magic systems for storm light, mistborne and the cytomic books are so different and all follow their logic without a ton of "plot armor" exceptions where it doesn't work as expected. I think that he would be creating a custom system for spellbound though.
On the topic of Elden ring DLC though one unrealistic expectation I have is from soft developing so much new content that it warrants a sequel similar to tears of the kingdom. It releases before the end of the year and from soft wins two GOT for the same series in a row.
it'd be really cool of Fromsoftware made a game based off of African folklore and mythologies, or maybe one based off of ocean and sea type mythologies and folklores. ik that last 1 was technically already made, as people would say its just the Bloodborne DLC of Fishing Hamlet, but im talking about a game SOULY dedicated to ocean type folklores, like with victorian diver suits, or something. it'd also be cool if there was a SoulsBorne game based off of indian cultures and folkore
Hmm, brandon sanderson did say he was annoyed that from software, chose george instead of sanderson.
As sanderson himself enjoys from software games and even streamed playing elden ring.
I dont think it's too far fecthed.
As of now we can only imagine. I believe it, until I see it is a good rule to not get you disappointed with game leaks.
None of the 3 mist born books take place largely in kredik shaw. In fact it’s rare we see it for longer than one chapter at a time.
It looks like the image of men without hats portrays their rank - apprentices. While the one with a hat and gold jewelries is a master or a higher ranked person.
genuinely suprised no one has mentioned brandon sanderson and fromsoft until now because i was wondering about this
This has me thinking that from soft has these games ready to go and then they slowly market the games to generate hype while the game is like 90% finished. I cant imagine them pumping out such quality titles in the amount of time that they do just based off the fact that they are an amazing development company (which they are). Im starting to think about this with Elden Ring too. WHat if they game was near completion, and then they released the first trailer knowing how much of it they already had done, and i dont mean they were halfway through, or had already started working on it, but seriously near completion..
The way lies of p came out makes me think that round 8 is possibly following the same workflow. They have a roadmap with the dlc already planned out before the game even launched. i know its not foreign for companies to have a plan over the course of years, but idk, this takes it to a whole nother level. Something i feel like Cod tries to do and fails every time because they just dont seem to care enough about that level of detail or quality assurance.
I could be overthinking here but its kinda fun to think about and, well, what these videos you make are about. To spark conversation based on the speculation. From soft may be more ahead than we can imagine.
I think that there's still a possibility this might be real and seeing a 2025 release is not farfetched considering that Bloodbourne and Dark Souls 3 were released a year apart.
So, if we can imagine a Berserk/Stormlight mash-up, that would be Spellbound.
I'm a Sanderson fan, but the later Stormlight books were not as good as The Way of Kings, imo. I think he would do better to take a little more time on his books. But if he was actually working w/ Miyazaki, I think they would give us something pretty great.
When spellbound comes out, I’m going for a strength build
Seek strenght
Vendrick
Bearer of the curse big bonk is the only way
@@gabrielnicolini9875I’ll tell you what, the run back to that bastard was half the boss fight. Vendrick gave me a run for my money
Are you gonna use cast iron?
I don't wanna get my hopes up, but if there's a possibility of a souls-like game based on Brando Sando's works, it'll be the easiest pre-order I ever do. It'd be like a dream come true.
Grr and Sanderson are my favorite authors. Getting a soulslike from both of them would make me believe I live in a simulation
It might be a case where they’re taking inspiration like they do with berserk for dark souls, but that might just be optimistic
Every game from Demon’s Souls to Sekiro was made in about 3 years, so that’s not really that implausible of a timeframe.
Hola Ziostorm
You’re right that there is some alignment in the big picture, but it seems like the evidence is a stretch
There is a generic map in one of Brandon Sanderson’s hundreds of books has very vague similarities - they are both cities with a castle and a river running thru them
Regarding the Kaladin art, they are both Victorian era fantasy characters wearing a somewhat similar tone of blue. There is so much art for Brandon Sanderson’s thousands of books you can probably find a match for anything (on that vague of a level)
Also, the magic aura color seems similar to what FS games have used in the past. It seems possible the artist was inspired by FS, rather than the other way around
And yes, Brandon Sanderson is the magic system guy, but of course that doesn’t mean it was Miyazaki’s inspiration for making a more magically focused games (at least 99% of existing magically focused games were not inspired by Brandon Sanderson, LOL)
Anyway, your totally right that there is alignment, and it’s interesting to think about and possibly be excited about for sure. Just wanted to drop my two cents on evidence you presented
And that is awesome that your working in a novel. Taking your content creation to the next level!!
With all the improvements to spells and incantations in Elden Ring, I'm sure Spellbound is gonna be amazing. I'm also really happy to hear that it will be a smaller title. Elden Ring was amazing but, it's so large and long that it's easy to get burnt out before the end.
You may already be aware, Brandon Sanderson is also a huge Fromsoft fan and when it was announced that eldenring was a collaboration with ol Georgie boy, he made his jealousy and interest in future collaboration known. So maybe they have been working together but have kept it well under wraps
With all the magic coming from Elden Ring it does make sense that they would follow up with a game more focused on jt
FWIW Rennala had already been shown in preview material before that JP version of Blue Sun Zenith was drawn.
Luthadel is not a castle is an entire city thsts surrounded and well fortified by the The Lord Ruler.
so are you saying that being similar to brandon sanderson's work debunks it? I think it more or less confirms it since he has always been interested in working with fromsoft and bandai has reached out to him about it
That’s a possibility, but the leak places the game’s development a whole year before Sanderson talked with FromSoftware. That’s what might debunk it
yeah but if they are working together why would they just more or less copy a setting he’s already done? i feel like they would try to innovate, just like how elden ring isn’t just a gamified version of lotr
@@Ziostorm it could also be that they already started making the game, inspired by Brandon, and only a year after that Brandon and From agreed to collaborate
@@nilan3294I was thinking the same thing.
Elantris gave me souls vibes right off the bat
Im not going to lie, having good book writers help Fromsoft, would make development faster.
Also very interesting amd exiting.
I sincerely hope Spellbound turns out to be a King's Field revival. Skyrim but with Fromsoft's signature dark fantasy take could be incredible.
Also, Fromsoft are very efficient at cranking out games. It's entirely possible they complete a game based on Sanderson's writing within 4 years. They're a well-oiled machine.
Really excited here
Your videos are like those articles from those websites that link off of Facebook, only without the incessant ads.
Honestly I hope this whole Spellbound thing does get debunked because the whole concept behind it just seems incredibly lame to me.
What your problem with it if the magic done right I think it be great like the magic has too have combo potential or it be terrible but a magic game would be great in general as magic always felt a little clunky in fromsoft games imo
Hearing you talk about Sanderson and Mistborn is the crossing of content I’ve always needed but never thought I would get. Sanderson is in my top 3 favorite authors ever. I think Stormlight Archive is overall better than Mistborn, but the world of Mistborn matches the Fromsoft feel much much more. If they are working together I’ll shit myself and eat it.
There are two more possibilities to consider:
1. The game was in development and then they brought him on because they wanted him to be a part of it because their initial ideas were not working out, so the game now has his undeniable mark on it, but it started out something else.
2. He was actually working with them much earlier than we knew about, but under strict NDA. He could have gotten the gift because of their already existing relationship and just used the good natured teasing as an excuse for why Fromsoft was paying attention to him.
How unexpected
Whats the metroid song called at the beginning of the video?
So funny i just started the stormlight archives. Kaladin is my favorite character so far
Funny I never thought I’d see someone reference Magic the Gathering in one of these videos and I think a crossover would make perfect sense like I can come up with all kinds of ideas and cards for a Dark Souls set it just fits so well I hope they do it someday
Honestly, they'd probably just bastardize it like what WotC did with Lord of the Rings. The set looked like it was pulled from Amazon's Rings of Power series rather than from the actual source material.
Now if it was WotC from 16+ years ago, I'd agree with your sentiment.
I would love fromsoft to make a full on Magic the Gathering game or D&D game.
@@Battleguild I don’t know why that decision was made with the Lotr stuff but every other universes beyond has been pretty spot on
Video Game journalism in a nutshell: "omg guys HUGE news that MIGHT be real [or MIGHT NOT!]"
I would love to see the stormlight archive series become a souls game.
Playing as a fused would literally be perfect for a dark souls like game
Or something like bloodborne or sekiro, just a stand alone masterpiece. Many people hate not getting a sequel, but I prefer a game to be left as it is, when it’s peak gaming. Don’t want to get my hopes crushed when the sequel is bad😂then again this is from soft, they could deliver the same quality or more if they could
I love Brando Sando. You should watch him play Elden Ring. He was running around at like level 68 in consecrated snowfields with over a million runes and jokingly calling them his high score 😂
Fromsoft could print money by making another Sekiro but instead they want to make a whole game based on the worst style of playing in soulsring games.
Maybe George RR Martin is involved in the lore again with the DLC for ER lol… makes sense as to why it’s taking so long. The wait is starting to feel like waiting for the book that will NEVER come… WOW.
That Metroid Prime soundtrack is nostalgic
As a power build Giant Crusher wielding chad, SPELLBOUND this is not a win
The majority of Mistborn DOES NOT take place in the castle/palace Kredik shaw. Stuff happens there but is in no way the main setting. I doubt From software is going to make anything based on Sanderson's current works.
A magic focused FromSoft game set in a giant interconnected city/dungeon with some open world around it, influenced by (or even better in collaboration with) Brandon Sanderson would tick ALL of my boxes. ALL of them.
I won't dare to hope any of this is true, but if it turns out it is... damn. 😍
Mistborn by Fromsoftware would blow my mind! My fave Sanderson works.
Is it not possible the idea was already being built and anderson was brought in part way?
Bloodborne 2 is all I want
I really wish they would bring on R. Scott Bakker to consult with. That would be the best mash up ever. I love Sanderson, but Bakker x FromSoft would be the greatest collab of all time imo. Joe Abercrombie would be cool, too.
Or. They had started working on it in 2021....and then when Sanderson showed interest, FromSoft brought him in to add to what they had already done.
I cant wait for their open world take on Escaflowne
I'am glad the leak isn't true. I like that Fromsofwares worlds are super dark and the "leaked" concept art just have not looked like this at all.
Concerning Magic: The Gathering.. i don't know. MTG has sooooo many cards. I imagine it is hard to come up with anything that doesn't has a magic card that comes close. Espacially sincs MTG isn't that creative either and uses pretty generic tropes. "Sunpetal Grove": I think you can find such large blossoms all over the place in fantasy. A bleeding eye, a shattered flying city, imps, a big bear and the mindblaze.. this is all really generic fantasy stuff.. And the "brand of ill omen": The card is about something completely different isn't it? Are you just referencing the pose (which also is only mildly similar) or is it about a guy lying dead and halve naked on the ground? Idk. I cann see the similiarities when you put card like this next to the art but i'am not convinced that it could not be coincidence as well.
At this point teaming up with Miura will never be possible
Uh- I have some bad news for ya bud
Buddy……Kinda sucks you have to hear from hear but uhhhh Miura not alive dude. He dead.
i feel that spellbound will be a ingame item just like great rune a couple of years ago
It is possible this new game has been in development for a while now (most games take 5 years to make) and they have been working with Brandon Sanderson.
This ladies and gentlemen, is what’s called a HEDGE...
They should team up with Steven Erikson, Malazan is the Dark Souls of fantasy books after all 📚
Man I hope one day we get a spiritual successor to King's Field from Fromsoft.
I dont fully believe the leak but also, i wouldnt rule out Brandon Sanderson having a rough draft for a book already written detailing his overarching ideas, that was initially intended to serve as reference when writing a future novel, but was instead provided to fromsoft to use as guidelines for a game adaptation. If you think back to what George R.R. Martin said regarding his involvement in Elden Ring, basically he just provided the high-level details to act as guidelines for the world building and fromsoft used that to develop a more narrowed and fleshed out story.
imagine a Fromsoft Szeth boss fight
when playing elden ring, ai thought it was using terminology like "shardbearer" which is used in the Stormlight Archives.
map screenshot looking like AC Syndicate map...
The only thing that’s been keeping me occupied is Lords of the Fallen. Absolutely loving it… truly feel sorry for those that hate it for whatever reason… it’s kept me sane.
NOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hope to god these leaks are real
I’d say the costume in the poor-quality image is much closer to Napoleonic than Victorian, but this is still a very interesting development.
brain Sanderson whining about George getting picked it ridiculous. The first trailer dropping with Miyazaki and Martin was one the most hype moments in gaming for me. No shade to me Anderson but if it was his name in that trailer probably half the amount of people would given any inch of a shit
This definitely has me thinking, what if From Software decided to make a horror game and partnered with Stephen king?
Im going to wear my tinfoil hat for a second, but could it be a pr stunt and Sanderson was already in talk with fromsoft to write spell bound and have been doing so for a bit longer than a year?
I need a fromsoft collaboration with michael moorcock
Just pray for sanderson and fromsoft to work together...a mistborn or even a stormlight game would be perfect but even something new would be instant preorder
You may be right, but I don't think Brandon Sanderson work is unique at all. If Spellbound is real, it could be inspired in many other things which looks like that, including some sets of Magic the Gathering as well.
