Bandai Namco today announced Dark Souls III for an early 2016 release date for current-gen platforms. The game is being developed by FromSoftware and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and promises to keep the series trademark sword and sorcery combat and rewarding action RPG gameplay.
Players will travel across a wide variety of locations in an interconnected world of unrelenting challenge and deep RPG gameplay as they search for a way to survive the coming apocalypse.
Herve Hoerdt, Vice President of Marketing & Digital at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, said:
“The DARK SOULS brand became a phenomenon thanks to amazing work from our dear partners FromSoftware and our very own BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment teams. But above all, we are blessed to have such a supportive and loving community, and we are happy to dedicate this final episode to them!”
Enjoy!

Too soon?
It might be the last DS game.
As long as they have Miyazaki working on it I still have a bit of hope…
HAAHAHHAHAHAH GOOD ONE.
Because they cant name it something else. AS THEY ALWAYS DO….FOR FREAKING DECADES
I honestly don’t care though. If you can keep pushing out quality games, why not? As long as it doesn’t end up like that garbage COD or how AC is turning out to be, I don’t mind.
That is a stupid opinion really.
All cod and ac do is keep remaking the same game, as does from software.
The only diffirence is that from software’s games stand on the ground of being dififcult.
Aside from that if you were to take them from a techinical perspective they are graphically unimpressive, run bad, full of bugs and dated animations.
As far as gameplay mechanics go they are more or less the same.
At some point what happened to ac and cod will happen to from software.
Saying an opinion is stupid, is stupid. Anyway I really don’t feel like having a debate but so far they’ve improved all their games. Of COURSE the games won’t be completely different but the improvements and innovations alone make it good enough as a sequel.
The core mechanics in games always remain the same. Look at Arkham Asylam, Arkam City and Arkham Knight. Same concept with regards to overall gameplay but there are some gameplay improvements that make the sequels better. Bloodborne and Souls play completely different. You just look at it from the point of view of it being the same concept so you see it as exactly the same and because you barely play the game (not to mention you dislike the series in general), you simply cannot see the differences and improvements. But I really don’t feel like debating this though. It’s gonna be a waste of time with you.
There is no debate to be had, cod does the same short scripted campaign and repettive mp, creed does the same open world tower climbing, from software does the saem white fog and souls system they always did.
It is the same.
“different but the improvements and innovations alone make it good enough as a sequel.”
“improvements” are debatable from what i have seen in the community some like them some dont but as far as “innovations” go….NOPE.
“Bloodborne and Souls play completely different”
Your definition of completly diffirent is having the same upgrade system and progression system?
No, if it was made by a diffirent studio it would play completly diffirent and even then there is lords of the fallen, you went from claiming that cod and creed are recycled to claiming that bloodborne isnt a dark souls clone.
“you simply cannot see the differences and improvements”
implying that cod and creed dont have diffirences because you cant see them.
It is you who suffer from confirmation bias here not me.
I am not claiming that one series is more innovative and diffirent than the others i infact do say that all of them are recycled. It is you who is fanboying over one series after crapping on others and claiming “NO NO NO NO IT IS COMPLETLY DIFFIRENT FROM THE LAST GAME DUE TO SMALL CHANGES”
I am not claiming that. YOU do, so you are the one who has to check your bias. We are not debating quality here, but how much they are milking the formula which they do and from software is slowly going towards cod and creed.
I’m so sick and tired of CGI trailers. When are developers going to realize that they’re selling a game here not a movie. Maybe I’m batsh*t crazy but I don’t get why they introduce so many games like this.
agreed, same with doing the single player unveil for MP based games long before they show any of the mulitplayer. No one gives a sh*t about BF or COD’s single player!
It is no secret i dont like dark souls, but even if i did, i would be tired it by now.
I mean look, you got kings field series, demon souls, dark souls, dark souls 2, lord of the fallen, bloodborne, dark souls 2 remaster with expansions and now dark souls 3 with a upcoming lords of the fallen 2.
Holy crap, it is like activision spread their annualization everywhere.
No proper keyboard and mouse prompts incoming….
