IDigital Times reported that both publishers will possibly announce "Dark Souls 3" at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 16-18, 2015 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The website further adds that Namco will reveal the game as one of the four platform-specific conferences in the pre-E3 2015 event happening on Monday, June 15.

What makes this game more interesting, other than the possible appearance in E3 2015, is the return of the game's original director Hidetaka Miyazaki.

VG 24/7 reporetd that Miyazaki is rumored to direct "Dark Souls 3" as he originally helm the first two "Souls" games - "Demon Souls" and "Dark Souls."

Miyazaki also served as a supervising head for "Dark Souls 2" while the game is being produced and directed by Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimaru. It is unknown yet whether Shibuya or Tanimaru will have a specific role in "Dark Souls 3's" developement, but gaming fans are hoping that Miyazaki could get them on board the project.

Aside from the "Souls" series, Miyazaki was known for developing other games such as thre "Armored Core" titles ("Armored Core: Last Raven," "Armored Core 4," and "Armored Core: For Answer"), and recently the gothic-theme action-RPG video game "Bloodborne."

Attack of the Fanboy previously reported that "Soldier's Soul" was rumored to be a potential sequel to "Dark Souls 2" and a part of the "Souls" series. This was first found in a post from NeoGaf and fans are torn apart if they wanted to accept "Soldier's Soul" as part of the game series.

It is said that if "Soldier's Soul" became the potential successor to "Dark Souls 2," then gamers will be waiting for its release date from mid to late 2016.

"Bloodborne" is currently out in stores for the PlayStation 4 console, and "Dark Souls 2: Scholars of the First Sin" for the PS4, Xbox One and the PC as well.
