Dark Souls: Beyond The Grave - Volume 2 : Beyond the Grave: Bloodborne ¿ Dark Souls III

This second volume dedicated to the Soulsborne series pursues the study of these games, their cryptic stories, their aesthetic and their design philosophy. Bloodborne and Dark Souls III are as different as they are complementary. What they tell us of the studio From Software, the creator Hidetaka Miyazaki's approach and the video game industry is enriching. While the authors thought they exhausted the topic in the first volume, these two additional games provided food for new thoughts. This book deals with the development process, the analysis of the stories and their themes, and the music of each game. The last chapter, for its part, goes beyond this scope to study the series with a transversal approach, from the visual influences and marketing choices to the evolutions of the games.
