"You might laugh because you die so much," Hidetaka Miyazaki, the producer at From Software who worked on Demon's Souls, joked before showing up the spiritual successor, Dark Souls.
Dark Souls is set in a dark fantasy world with a similar premise as Demon's Souls. The essence of the game is learning from mistakes and the joy of discovery.
Namco Bandai will publish the game in North America and Europe, but not under the name Project Dark. That's a temporary title. Two trademarks hint at what the actual title might be.
