Dark Souls II could come to PS4 and Xbox One in future, though the developer hasn't "put any thought into this yet".
The ambiguous answer comes from co-director Yui Tanimura, who told Edge that while such a thing may very well come to pass, no firm decision had been made either way.
"We have not put any thought into this yet," he said, "so I unfortunately can’t answer at this point."

The basic thinking behind how Dark Souls II is developed has not changed.
Elsewhere in the interview, he explained that the decision to focus on the older consoles was made because the team felt a lot of potential remained there, and doing so would enable the studio to "deliver the game to fans as soon as possible."
He also touched on the size of the world, saying it was comparable to that of the original Dark Souls but with more freedom, and reassured anyone concerned that previous director Hidetaka Miyazaki wasn't returning that there's nothing to fear.
"The basic thinking behind how Dark Souls II is developed has not changed. Team structures and members have changed a little bit, and we may think a little more together to bring ideas together. But because we are aligned in regards to what has to be communicated with the game, we have not faced any major changes internally. Miyazaki is still involved as a supervisor, and I seek advice when necessary."
