9. It Will End The Series As We Know It

No need to cry. It is a transition, not the end

Prior to the title's reveal, rumors about Dark Souls III being the final entry in a trilogy used to circulate about. Thankfully, the developers have recently put an end to these, stating that the upcoming title will only mark the end of the current series, as opposed to that of the entire franchise.

The new release will mark a turning point, if you will. For good or bad, Souls games will never be the same again. What exactly this will mean remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Any sequels we might see will be drastically different in either gameplay or atmosphere.
