King's Field (Japanese: キングスフィールド) is an action role-playing game series developed by FromSoftware. Titles 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 influenced FromSoftware's later work, most notably Demon's Souls and the Dark Souls series. The next two King's Field titles, King's Field II and King's Field III, were released in 1995 and 1996, respectively. King's Field IV was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001.
