But there are other, more tantalizing connections as well. Deep ConnectionsįromSoftware made four principal King’s Field games, and the influence each one had on the gameplay and atmosphere of Dark Souls is obvious. If anything, the most direct inspiration for King’s Field probably came from 1992’s Ultima Underworld, one of the earliest first-person RPGs to be set in a fully 3D environment.

It wasn’t until almost a decade later, with the debut of the Sony PlayStation, that FromSoftware made its first attempt to break into the game industry with a clunky, real-time, low-poly 3D action RPG called King’s Field. A Different Kind of RPGīefore FromSoftware became famous for its difficult action RPGs, the modest Shibuya-based company got its start in 1986 developing. But the Souls series’ unique approach to combat and exploration was actually more than a decade in the making, dating back to the very first game FromSoftware ever made.
