Miyazaki said they're already working on a new IP. We may even find out what it is in E3.I wouldn't be surprised if they want to get back to something like Armored Core or King's Field.
I accept that they couldn't and shouldn't make these forever, but the wannabes from other companies just aren't the same and only with these last two entries have they really hit their stride popularity-wise. I suppose with Dark Souls 3 they finally have a blend of all the right mechanics from different entries in a single title, though I'd have liked to see one other title where the game world corkscrews around itself like the first Dark Souls.
Guess I'll have to really really enjoy the Dark Souls 3 DLC releases this fall and next year.
EDIT: I apparently read this article late at night and missed some things. Miyazaki emphasizes that "personally" the series is over "for him" but doesn't rule out more games of this nature. I'm guessing he means if Bandai-Namco insists on more stuff, but in that scenario it might mean more like Dark Souls 2, and it'd probably be best to just let things lie rather than a bunch of mediocre games flood the franchise. But I shouldn't just assume that someone besides Miyazaki would do a bad job just because of those two guys.
Also, he said "several" DLC are planned, though I'm not pretending that's set in stone. He's changed his mind with that stuff before.
