Soulsborne

Sign in to edit

Soulsborne is an action RPG and action-adventure franchise developed by From Software and owned by Kadokawa. It consists of several From Software games and series that follow a similar formula, including Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. Each has a different overseas publisher: Demon's Souls and Bloodborne published by Sony, Dark Souls and Elden Ring by Bandai Namco, and Sekiro by Activision.

Soulsborne began as a niche franchise that went on to earn mainstream popularity, largely due to critical acclaim for skillful combat and high difficulty. The franchise has sold more than 90 million units worldwide. The franchise also spawned the Soulslike genre.
