I can say from experience From Software couldn't care less what is made with their software, after numerous attempts to even get a generic response from them regarding the game I made, it is unlikely they would pay any mind to a fan made sequel in regards to creating new games.
I don't believe From Software will ever revive KF, and if they did it likely wouldn't be anywhere near the same engine/concept of the original series anyhow.
To put things in perspective...I sold almost 2 million copies of FortressCraft at this point, that is more than many AAA game studios get with their games...and you know how much the developers or publishers of Minecraft care? A big whopping 0.
I think From Software would just as soon take an actual physical dump on a copy of any SOM made KF game as care whether or not they release a game with the same name as one of them...in fact From Software doesn't give a damn about anything a non Japanese audience has done or says. The only reason there was ever an 'ear' to the fans of King's Field was because of Agetec and the same holds true for the Souls games, Namco/Atlus were the ones that listened and worked with the US fanbase, From Software just makes games, they don't involve themselves with people and fans.
