This is according to sources speaking with GiantFreakinRobot , which stated as much, but didn’t provide additional information.

If the sources are correct, Netflix working on a Dark Souls anime series would be another feather in the streaming service’s cap when it comes to video game adaptations.

It already has the animated Castlevania series, The Witcher , Arcane (based on League of Legends ), The Cuphead Show, Sonic Prime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and more.

And it has even more in the works.

There’s both a live-action and an animated series in the works based on Assassin’s Creed ; a film based on The Division; animated series’ for Splinter Cell , Tomb Raider, and Far Cry; a Bioshock film ; the Beyond Good and Evil live-action film ; Dragon’s Lair which is to be a live-action affair ; and there’s also a Horizon Zero Dawn project in the works; and Dragon Age: Absolution - just to name a few.

While additional information nor confirmation of the Dark Souls anime series was available as of press time, it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to believe a show based on the IP is in development. It’s a hit property, very popular, and has plenty of potential for varied storylines.
