In the past decade, few developers have been as influential as From Software. Whether it’s the challenging gameplay of Demon’s Souls, the carefully crafted worlds of Dark Souls, the compelling stories of Bloodborne, or the sharp gameplay of Sekiro, each of its games resonates in profound ways.

From Software’s expertly calculated and balanced game design; That much sense of discovery comes as you navigate through crumbling castles, unsettling forests, and otherworldly dark realms. It is in that triumphant swing of the sword that brings an insurmountable foe to its knees, and the heartbreaking moment where a slip allows the enemy to bring you to yourself.
