Unlikely Franchises That Would Actually Make Great Soulslikes

The Soulsborne games have made FromSoftware a heavyweight in the industry after repeated successful titles, creating a cult following for games that are both challenging and punishing in nearly every aspect. Following the release of Elden Ring, many gamers are wondering what other gaming franchises could adopt the Soulsborne formula to improve the gameplay and make it more challenging for players. There have already been several successful Soulslike games including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Nioh that have brought the FromSoftware formula to other worlds and franchises.

There are certain criteria that a game must have to call itself Soulslike, the major one being that players should expect to die multiple times in a playthrough. These games also need a currency that is used to permanently level up a character and can be lost upon death, as well as other consequences for dying such as resetting the world and the enemies in it. While not every franchise is a good fit for the Soulslike formula, there are many IPs that could adopt this genre, elevate the experience, and give fans a new challenge.

A new InFamous game will likely not feature Cole MacGrath or Delsin Rowe, the previous two protagonists, but it could go down a more RPG route and give fans the chance to create their own Conduits. Allowing this freedom to fans would open the possibility for the Soulslike formula.
