Download King's Field IV PC: The Birthplace of Souls Games

Like so much of King's Field, this combat is a clear blueprint for the Souls games to come. When Sony's console was announced, From decided to pitch a new game made for it, and produced King's Field in just six months.

The first attempt at creating a 3D exploration game featuring robots in a subterranean maze was targeted for PCs but abandoned when the team realized that the desktop computers of the time weren't powerful enough to realize their vision. This marks the beginning of From's journey as a game developer, a cycle that began many years earlier.

In December 1994, King's Field was released as a first-person RPG for the original PlayStation, just less than a fortnight after the console's Japanese launch. This game would set the stage for what would become known as 'Soulslikes,' a particular flavor of action RPG. Not an end, but a pinnacle in terms of ambition and scope.

Elden Ring marks a significant point in From's own cycle as a game developer. With its ambitious and sprawling world, it continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in gaming.
