Hotly-tipped to be one of the top games of 2011, Dark Souls has today received an expected launch date.
Namco’s action role-playing game will be released in October 2011 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The news comes from Namco’s ‘Level up’ event held in Dubai this week, where a spokesperson confirmed the target release window.
A Limited Edition Collector’s Edition can also now be pre-ordered for $59.99, which incidentally is the same price as the standard edition. The collector’s edition includes a strategy guide, behind-the-scenes videos, the official game soundtrack and a limited edition art book.
Dark Souls is the sequel to From Software’s Demon Soul’s, which received critical acclaim for its challenging yet incredibly rewarding gameplay and appealing dark fantasy aesthetic. For those hardened RPG enthusiasts up for a serious and rewarding challenge, creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed that Dark Souls will be even tougher than its predecessor.
