索尼失去了Dark Souls系列的出版权 在2009年制毒恶魔灵魂发布后 Sony lost publishing rights for Dark Souls series after botching Demon's Souls launch in 2009.

前索尼派执行官舒海吉田透露,索尼失去了发表黑暗灵魂系列的机会,因为对最初的恶魔灵魂释放处理不当。 Former Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida revealed that Sony lost the chance to publish the Dark Souls series due to mishandling the original Demon's Souls release. Sony最初未能将恶魔的灵魂本地化, 引导FromSoftware 与其他出版商合作参与黑暗灵魂游戏。 Sony initially failed to localize Demon's Souls, leading FromSoftware to partner with other publishers for the Dark Souls games. 虽然索尼后来与FromSoftware合作制作了"血流" (Bloodborne),但该工作室选择了多平台制作最近的"黑暗之魂3"和"魔戒"等热门作品. Though Sony later worked with FromSoftware on Bloodborne, the studio chose to go multiplatform for recent hits like Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring.
