Dark Souls II - VGA 2012 trailer

[Blacksite]

Namco Bandai has announced Dark Souls II for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC at the Video Game Awards in Los Angeles tonight.

In development at From Software, the game will offers new obstacles, challenges, and suffering. It will feature a new hero and story, unfamiliar world, and a revamped server-based mutiplayer mode.

“Dark Souls II retains the core essence of Dark Souls while evolving to present new twists and challenges that are sure to please longtime fans and attract new comers to the series,” says Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing at Namco Bandai. “From Software is going to take a very dark path with Dark Souls II; players will need to look deep within themselves to see if they have the intestinal fortitude to embark on this journey.”

Tomohiro Shibuya, director of Dark Souls II, added: “This new chapter in the Dark Souls saga presents opportunities for us to drive innovation in gameplay design, develop an entirely new story, and expand the scope of the world in which the player interacts with the game. We have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series. 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.”

A release date for Dark Souls II was not set. Watch the debut trailer below. View a set of trailer screen caps at the gallery.

This will be awesome.

Unfortunately I never finished dark souls.... I let it beat me... NOW I have incentive to go back and beat it!

I do kind of wish they went for a new something 'souls' game, but I suppose dark souls II sticks with a 'brand' and if it helps it sell more, that's cool

That we are... but I want it nowww!!! ><

I would have very liked to have seen this be a next-gen game. What a shame in that regard. Still, you can't go wrong with another Souls game.

[Joe Zombie]

Hell yes! Excited as hell for this. Dark Souls is one of my all-time favorites.

[NightOnyx]

Really excited about this! I'm a huge fan of both Demon's and Dark Souls, so I'm definitely ready for some more. I'm also really interested to see what changes they make and things that they add to the game because Dark Souls was really amazing. Definitely really awesome news though and was a great surprise to see when I got home from work tonight.

+Bioshock Infitite. This gen is closing with a fucking bang. No doubt about that

[TOM2x]

I'm psyched for all of those titles in the coming year. If the PS4 is coming too, then I may just hold off for a bit on buying it. But, it does seem that these titles would be great exit games for this generation. BTW, I have been playing Dark Souls again and Have finally beat the Taurus demon and that damned Armored tusk! I'm getting a bit better at the game though and making small strides!! It is a lot of fun, if a bit tough for me though!

[Shin Asura]

Looks epic, I didn't bother with the first one because of the difficulty. When I get off work it's not the best time to keep dying
