I know the answers is "because the Soul series / Souls Like sell well" but FromSoftware is now a big name due to their efforts on those series, enough to get people interested in a game if they hear "Developed by FromSoftware". So my biggest question is, why not expand you older portfolio of games too that were just as fun? There are /some/ games out there kinda like Armored Core, but nothing quite matches it and there is NOTHING out there that comes close to Chrome Hounds, yet these games seem to be all but forgotten, Armored Core got a weird thing for it's anniversary but nothing came out of it and it's been 7 years since the last one, 14 years since Chrome Hounds.
Again while yes the Souls/Souls-like games from them sell very well, they can still keep on making those while going back to some of their older IP to expand their portfolio like I said and also prevent burnout on the Souls series because there is A LOT of em. Their entire portfolio this gen has been Dark Souls II +DLC, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, and soon Elden Ring. While I love a large majority of those (not you Dark Souls 2) I still want to see them reach back into the IP vault, hell even Tenchu, Otogi, and even mother fucking Ninja Blade lol
