How? Souls fans would pick up both of them if they own a PS4 or just Dark Souls 2 if they don't.Even if Demon's Souls 2 is a thing, that scenario wouldn't end up complementing anything, just cannibalizing.

Until I see an actual announcement I'm not a believer. I can't see this happening without a major entity getting screwed. If Sony gives it to another developer then they sour their relationship with Namco + FROM. If FROM does it and Sony publishes, then Namco get's screwed.
The properties are way too similar in both name and content for a Demon's Souls and Dark Souls to exist as separate franchises.
You aware that both Dark Souls games are only published by Namco in the West right? In Japan they're published by FROM themselves. I doubt Demon's Souls 2 would effect Namco's opinion of FROM in any way.
Oh god... Demon's Souls 2 don't do this to me!
An unveiling at Gamescom would be glorious ... umbasa!
thought SCEJ published it in Asia?
No, Demon's Souls was published by SCEJ in Asia though.
If it's to be unveiled that's where it will be.
Surprise TGS announcement!
Surely TGS, not Gamescom.
Especially given SCEE's lack of interest in the series (Demon's Souls was published by Namco in Europe)
My heart wouldn't be able to handle it
I guess it could be in a very preliminarily development state while they finish Dark Souls 2. They can still have ideas, do concepts and prepare for full time development.
Sixth archstone, please. But not if you're gonna just use the name and make it suck. Either get FROM or have them consult.
assuming it's real which, y'know
TBH I don't think this would be a PS4 title,a PS3 release seems much more likely.
I agree with this. Even if they're making another similar game is just seems like they would eat into each others' sales if the pump out two identical games at once. If From is working on another RPG I can see it being in the same vein as Souls but having a few unique elements and a different name to differentiate it while still appealing to the same crowd.I just can't believe that FROM is developing Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls 2 at the same time. And I don't think Sony would try to develop Demon's Souls 2 somewhere else. So I don't think this means anything.
Edit - Maybe retailers have gotten wise to how GAF makes a fuss of intriguing listings like this, and they're doing it for attention now?
FROM has more than one team lol
Remember GoW II?not a Sony IP this late in the game.
Sony would push for a PS4 game 100%
if not then Vita
Guys....
Deep Down, is Demons Souls 2....
Dibs on Evolve being Media Molecule's game.

I am aware. Dark Souls only sold ~500K copies in Japan. ~2 million copies not sold in Japan. Also, According to Atlus, Namco paid good money to be the western publisher of Dark Souls. You are insane if you think Namco won't be pissed if FROM works on a basically identical game with someone else and cuts them out.
I used to think that it was ridiculous to believe that a Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls 2 could exist on store shelves at the same time, but then I realized that this series is probably the one in existence where every single fan will buy both games no matter what. Hell, if they were exactly the same game except one had an extra boss battle and a rare set of armor fans would buy both anyway.
Believe.
Demons' Souls 2 with graphics like that Panta Rhei demo in real time...GAF would die.
Believe.
Are you ready for a Demon's Souls sequel with a sci-fi angle?
Believe.
