From Software is sticking with current-gen for this adventure
Despite the success of its predecessor, I was not necessarily expecting a Dark Souls II so soon, and I certainly wasn’t expecting to see it get announced at the 2012 Spike VGAs of all places. Amazing! I was actually convinced the trailer was for the next Dragon Age.
Namco Bandai has made the announcement as well, confirming that this game is for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Souls series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki will serve as supervisor, while From Software’s Tomohiro Shibuya will be the director. There’s promise of a new hero, storyline, and world, plus “a revamped server-based multiplayer mode that will put a distinct Dark Souls II twist on the concept of playing with others,” according to the press release.
“We have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series,” said Shibuya. “The entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II an experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting players with challenging gameplay. Our goal is to surprise and delight our fans with new experiences and plot twists while enticing new players to join our dark journey.”
My body is ready, praise the sun, etc.
