How did the name Dark Souls?

Originally Dark Souls, the spiritual heir of the RPG Demon's Souls for PlayStation 3, it was called Dark Race, revealed producer Hidetaka Miyazaki. In an interview with the portal and translated from Japanese 4gamer Andriasang, Miyazaki said that the current name of the game, Dark Souls, was chosen just two days before the announcement at the Tokyo Game Show last year.

"The name Dark Race did not work overseas because it could have taken on racist connotations," says Miyazaki. After Dark Race, From Software has thought of Dark Lords and Dark Ring, but for different reasons at the end we opted for Dark Souls.
