The Gloam-Eyed Queen and her followers having access to a powerful Elden Ring incantation originating from Death itself. Having reasons to go against Marika made them rather threatening to her, and their abuse of power was a problem for the Lands Between as a whole. Marika's sense of self-preservation led to her not only bringing about the downfall of the Godskins by targeting the source of their power, but also solidified her status in the Lands Between, so she was chosen by the Greater Will as the Elden Ring's vessel and therefore made into a god. Since Marika was given a shadow, Maliketh, as an empyrean, she ordered him to defeat the Godskins and seal away the source of their power, thus leading to the weakened Godskins players encounter in Elden Ri

Given the setting of FromSoft's RPGs and Miyazaki's collaboration with George R. R. Martin on Elden Ring , Dark Souls will also be a natural fit for HotD fans. With this game spawning a series, lore is even more expansive and the story's pretext centered around a fallen dynasty should feel reminiscent enough. Dark Souls: Remastered is available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and
The 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive title Bloodborne was, at the time, FromSoftware's most imaginative and uncompromising effort, and it marked at least a slight departure from the Dark Souls series. Abandoning the overt fantasy elements of its predecessors, Bloodborne instead takes place in the Victorian-inspired city of Yharnam and draws almost directly from Lovecraftian l
