I doubt they will. I'm sure they're smart enough to realize that the difficulty is what makes people love it so much. Even if they change the feel to something more Elder Scrolls-y (which, in my opinion, would suck) I really doubt they'd nerf the difficulty.

It looks like Kalameet (one eyed dragon/an optional boss in the DLC) in the trailer, which makes me assume this might be a prequel which could be cool.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I like the minimalist plot too. I think that when game developers say these things, though, it's never as extreme as everyone thinks. It'll be a little different, but I'm sure despite that it'll still have that Dark Souls feel.
