Instead, speculation has turned to other major games, including Sony’s shooter Saros and even the Doom series. CI Games' CEO Marek Tyminski expressed his anticipation for potential news surrounding FromSoftware and mentioned that exciting announcements regarding Lords of the Fallen are also imminent.
