According to the outlet, past FromSoftware codenames carrying the letter &#8220;F&#8221; have been related to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/dark_souls\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Souls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps1\/armored_core\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armored Core<\/a> franchises.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this, the website speculates this new project might be a new Armored Core entry or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2024\/11\/rumour-fromsoftware-classic-getting-the-remaster-treatment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumoured remaster of Dark Souls 3<\/a>. An updated re-release of Dark Souls 3 was suggested to be a thing late last year.<\/p>\n<p>Based on how FromSoftware has handled the Armored Core series in the past, there&#8217;s just as good a chance this new project is another Armored Core title. A few years after a mainline entry, the Japanese developer has generally put out a spin-off based on that numbered instalment. As it&#8217;s been almost two years since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/armored_core_vi_fires_of_rubicon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon<\/a> launched, we could be looking at a new game in the mech series.<\/p>\n<p>For now, FromSoftware officially has The Duskbloods releasing in 2026 for Switch 2.
