Despite the success of its predecessor, I was not necessarily expecting aDark Souls IIso 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 nextDragon Age.

There’s promise of a new hero, storyline, and world, plus“a revamped server-based multiplayer mode that will put a distinctDark Souls IItwist on the concept of playing with others,” according to the press release.
“We have taken these necessary steps withDark Souls IIin order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series,” said Shibuya. “The entire development team is striving to makeDark Souls IIan experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting players with challenging gameplay.
