Despite the announcement of the next Xbox later today FromSoftware's Yui Tanimura has told X360 that there's "no intent" to bring Dark Souls 2 to Xbox 720 or PlayStation 4.
Tanimura, the game's director, commented: "We understand that next-gen is coming up, and it'd be a lie to say we didn't consider it at all, but right now there's no intent to have Dark Souls on next-gen at this point. We feel the potential for current gen is still there and we want to deliver it to current gen consoles."
While the developer's comments don't completely rule out the possibility of the game hitting next-gen platforms it's not looking particularly likely.
Asked about the way FromSoftware is approaching the game he commented "The way I look at level design is, first I try to concrete the concept of what we want the players to feel, what emotional take-back or feedback the player gets from the experience.
And with that, we try to design what kind of death they will face and what kind of challenges and what kind of tactics we want the players to learn from. So we'll have that concept as a base and based on that, we will then discuss how we want people to conquer this or what kind of death we want them to experience and what kind of learning we want them to take back from the challenges in the game."
Dark Souls 2 does not currently have a release date. For a breakdown of the title's gameplay trailer head over here while you can find out more details about the game from Tanimua here.
