Seems From is currently sending out surveys and showing participants gameplay footage with soulslike bosses.

I've just finished doing a consumer survey about a new Armoured Core game with description, screenshots and two 30 second-ish videos of gameplay - the first a boss fight and the second more in-world gameplay, a snow area. The screenshots are unique ID watermarked, so probably not a good idea to post but I did screenshot the text description.
If this isn't ok to post, mods please edit this - I don't want to get anyone (including myself) in to trouble, but I was pretty amazed to be watching footage of an upcoming From Soft game randomly this morning, quite unexpected!!
I did screenshot them too, but they're ID watermarked so weary about posting them. The video was streaming and watermarked, so couldn't save that even if I wanted to.
The screenshots were not huge and 8 in total. 1. More snowy area, player character in the air firing down on a street with vehicles below (tanks? cars?) 2. A smoke-filled aerial shot with an enemy in the distance. 3. A darker green/grey toned area gunfire and light/fire coming from the combat everywhere. 4. Snowy area again, ground-based combat against a similar sized enemy (pvp?) 5-8: These four looked like boss fight shots: 5. A bigger humanoid mech, white/grey. Player character has red lights on their mech, on ankles, shoulders and lower back. 6. A huge, tall armoured tank boss. 7. Difficult to make out, player on right, enemy another humanoid mech on left a yellow/gold slash(?) effect I think the player is attacking the enemy with a melee attack. 8. Gunfire battle with a circular yellow effect in front of player character - blocking the gunfire with shields or some attack? Shape and colour reminds me of the Heal miracle in Dark Souls, golden circle.
