This makes me really happy. I mean, it'll have a hard time topping Bloodborne for me (as a world), but the focus being back to the world (from Sekiro) is more than welcome. The way From writes characters, their cast is usually more memorable for being unique and having a few encounters, rather than the usual responding-to-plot-developments sort of character.
This might be one of the only open world games I've ever loved or even been excited for, really. (Automata is the only open world game I love but it's my GOTG, and I'm also excited to play Death Stranding and BotW someday.)
I would be utterly shocked.I don't expect it this year at all, but if it did release this year I would be sooo soohappy, assuming it wasn't rushed out
