Rumour: New FromSoftware Game 'Phantom Wail'

Source: big german gaming website: http://www.gamepro.de/artikel/from-...tial-arts-rpg-im-azteken-setting,3314710.html
translation:
Ancient Aztec/tribal aesthetic (unknown if set in actual Aztec times or if its just Aztec-inspired)
Emphasis on kung-fu style combat
There will still be traditional weapons
However, weapon-based movesets are gone
Instead, players will customize their own fighting styles and weapon movesets (for any weapon)
Appears to be Souls-like
Collaboration between Sony Japan and FromSoft (ie, it's a PS4 exclusive)
So what do you think? Just the typical E3 bs or some serious leaks?

I'm thinking great for Souls fans - not so great for me

But I love Aztec settings - so maybe I'll check it out.

I've recently finished Sleeping Dogs.
That's a game that, without stupid races, would be a nearmasterpiece.
But it's not Dark Souls clone. Which means, I'm recommending it.

Whatever FromSoftware is making, it is not Sleeping Dogs 2. Means, I don't care for any of it. And here's hope that junk never gets ported on PC.

I wish they'd go back to making open-world RPGs that focus on exploration like King's Field.

This type of game needs a change in setting, to keep it "fresh" so this is good ( DS did not need any sequels).
Think it's time to move away from "the world is damned and so are you" loop, as well.
But man...Kung fu Aztecs?
Hope this is on new engine, they need to up their mechanics a bit, after For Honor, it feels pretty outdated.
