Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida claimed that FS Club is unwilling to work with Sony to develop the Demon Souls sequel because FS Club is disappointed with the way Sony manages and handles the game.

"Devil's Souls" was developed in collaboration with Sony.During the game development period, the plan was released globally by Sony, but it was not realized in the end.

Although "Devil's Souls" is now considered the first work of the popular "Soul Like" game series by FS, it is said that Sony was not optimistic about the global market potential of this game at that time.

Due to the high difficulty of the game and the poor response to early tests, Sony decided not to localize Demon Souls for the English market.Instead, the game was released by Atlus in the United States and by Bandai Namco in Europe.

In an interview with Game Informer in 2012, Shuihei Yoshida explained in detail why Sony decided not to localize Demon Souls to the West, admitting that he did not understand the charm at first.

He recalled at the time: "For my personal Demon Souls experience, I spent two hours playing the game, but two hours later I was still standing at the beginning of the game, and I thought it was a terrible one.Game, so I put it down.”

In an interview with Sacred Symbols podcast, former SIE president Shuhei Yoshida explained that Sony hopes to work with FS to develop a sequel to Demon Souls, but the developers rejected the proposal and decided to work with Bandai Namco, and finally released "Dark Souls".

Sony later collaborated with FS again on the PS4 exclusive game "Bloodborne", and Yoshida Shuhei said he was very happy about it.He said: "We have a lot of respect for Hidetaka Miyazaki and were able to work with them again, Bloodborne is one of his best games. Fortunately, the game has really been a big success outside of Japan.. We did lose our jobs in terms of distribution, including in terms of studio management. We didn’t see the value of the product we are making.”

The Chinese version of the latest work in the Soul series, "Eldon Far Ring: The King of the Night" is scheduled to be launched simultaneously around the world on May 30, 2025, and digital pre-orders are now available.Steam national standard version is 198 yuan, and the luxury version is 268 yuan, and comes with simplified Chinese.
