Interestingly, Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa was also present. You may also find him familiar due to his work on Bloodborne.

During the show, Kitao-san showcased several screenshots and illustrations, including the reveal of the map of the game, which is pretty much structured like the world of a Souls game. You can see them in the gallery at the bottom of the post.
