Hopefully, the next big FS game will be a Bloodborne-like in an ER-like open world.

it's very likely, at some point. Same goes for Dark Souls 2 and 3.

Dark Souls 2 was a PS3 game, the reason it wasn’t on Switch is likely that Dark Souls Remastered didn’t sell well(which I actually bought coincidentally)

Dark Souls Remastered still sold over 4 million copies with over 1.1 million on Switch and close to 2 million on PS4, but yeah probably fell just short of sales targets to green light Dark Souls 2 remastered that probably would have been heavily reliant on Switch sales with Xbox One not contributing much, and PS4 interest probably being lower than Dark Souls 1.

FromSoftware seems like the type of brave and respectable company that just pushes forward and making new games/franchises instead of wasiting time, looking back and re-releasing versions to milk money.

I think a compl,ete edition on Switch-2 is a bit more likely. The game already struggles on PS4 and there would be a lot of pop-in on Switch.

Yeah, I dont think DLC was planned before it became such a huge success.
