From Software, the Japanese development studio best known for the Dark Souls series has announced that it is planning to open a new studio in Fukuoka, Japan next month with an aim to get it fully operational by January next year.

The studio’s function will be the creation of 3D CG assets for games, as well as providing support to From Software’s main studio located in Tokyo. Job listings are already going up online for 3D environmental and character artists to join the team and with Dark Souls 3 having had its Japanese console release date announced it’s a fair bet that it’ll be working on that project as the first thing it ever does.

From Software are known most famously for their Dark Souls games and most recently Bloodborne on the Playstation 4; bringing a unique mix of elements that defines the games as uniquely theirs.
