Lords of the Fallen: Developers worry about abundance of Soulslike games

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In an interview, the developers of the upcoming Lords of the Fallen talked about how concerned they are about the abundance of games in the genre.

The game, also called Lords of the Fallen, will launch as early as October 13, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Like the first part, the sequel is also attributed to the dark action role-playing games, which are also titled Soulslikes.

Are the developers of the upcoming Lords of the Fallen afraid of drowning their title among the already existing Soulslikes, which are already so well established in the genre?

“It’s worrying in the sense that we want to be successful from a business perspective,” says art director Chaudret when asked.

They have brought so many new ideas to the table that we, the rest of the industry, can only be inspired by them.” Earlier this year, Virtuoso already stated that Lords of the Fallen had more in common with “Elden Ring” than was intended.

Or they could actually be different and not make yet another souls like game
Could have gone in the "character action" genre like MGR and DMC. Would be nice to have a more western take on it since most are Japanese anime games.
