They teased Bloodborne with Marvelous Chester in Atorias of the Abyss, they teased Sekiro with the 'eastern hunter' in Bloodborne. They have a running trend of teasing future content in existing stuff. Buuut they also reference older stuff with things like the Moonlight Greatsword from Kings Field. Were it just the "Blood and Bones" book i would assume reference, but the doll and monster making 'contact' talking about 'an unfinished tale' and 'escaping the dream'? Bloodborne wasn't about escaping the dream. It was 'seek paleblood' and overtime you learnt about the nightmare of mensis and all the child kidnapping and shit. If anything the Blood Drunk Hunters in the Old Hunters DLC could apply to this but the doll in BB never aided them and Kos wasn't quite keeping them trapped in that layer of the dream either.
Personally im conflicted, sour grapes meme aside i genuinely consider BB the best action game made in the last ten years no question. But do we really need a sequel? look at the shitshow of DS3 and its nightmare of trying to balance story and not turn into a 'I KNOW THAT REFERENCE, I KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS!' style bullshit i dont think BB needs that. Look at online shit like the famous Paleblood Hunt essay and they story is pretty much explained. Do they need to expand on it in ways that could easily taint the purity of its self contained story?
Man i honestly don't know. But fromsoft has a 3rd game in the works, most seem to want/assume armoured core but who knows?
