From an IGN interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki on the release of Dark Souls: "Dark Souls' impressive sales have fuelled speculation about a third game in the Souls lineage – but it's difficult to see how Dark Souls' successor could iterate and improve upon its ideas the same way as it did on Demon's Souls'. Miyazaki gives the impression that he would not be happy making a third Souls game unless he felt it was breaking new ground once again. He's clearly both fastidious and passionate about the work that his team does, taking an active and involved role in everything from the art direction to the nuts and bolts of the game design – and obsessing over feedback even after it's done."
