Dark Souls Mobile Spin-Off Slashy Souls Revealed
An endless runner spin-off of Dark Souls called Slashy Souls has been revealed and will be hitting iOS and Android tomorrow, February 28, according to Polygon. Polygon is also reporting that Bandai Namco has been working with GameStop (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer's parent company) on the mobile title.
From the brief footage shown, Slashy Souls resembles endless runners like Temple Run and Robot Unicorn Attack while retaining the series' gloomy aesthetic. There's no indication whether or not Slashy Souls will be free-to-play.
You can watch the game in action over at Polygon.

Our Take
Mobile spin-offs and tie-ins for big game releases are not uncommon. However, an endless runner for Dark Souls seems to be an odd mash of genres.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
