Future Outlook

From my perspective, The Revenant's success signals a shift toward more narratively complex characters in Soulsborne expansions. Her tragic backstory and innovative relic system could inspire future DLCs exploring other tormented Nightfarers. I anticipate seeing porcelain-themed armor sets and spirit-summoning mechanics influencing Elden Ring's inevitable sequel, potentially even crossing over to Shadow of the Erdtree. The doll's vengeance has only begun to reshape FromSoftware's design philosophy.
