King's Field (Japanese: キングスフィールド) is an action role-playing game series developed by FromSoftware. Titles in this series have been released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, and various mobile phone platforms.[1]
King's Field was released as a launch title for the PlayStation in 1994. The game's fully 3D, first person perspective was considered groundbreaking among role-playing video games of the time; it would influence FromSoftware’s later work, most notably Demon’s Souls and the Dark Souls series. The next two King's Field titles followed in quick succession: King's Field II in 1995 and King's Field III in 1996. King's Field IV was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001.
