It’s developed by FromSoftware who created the ‘hard as nails’ RPG Demon’s Souls for PS3. This new action-RPG is set in a ”rich, dark fantasy universe”.
Those who pre-order early will be upgraded for free to get the Limited Edition at no additional cost, revealed Namco Bandai last month. Dark Souls is not a direct sequel to Demon’s Souls although the two share similar characteristics, primarily their challenge.
”Set in a rich, dark fantasy universe, Dark Souls features tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and ground-breaking online features which combine for a truly unique RPG experience,” blurbs the official Namco press release.
”Dark Souls breaks down barriers with a seamless world design that encourages exploration and fosters adaptability. As players encounter terrifying enemies and discover new areas, the game’s foundation of challenge and reward permeates the experience to provide an unparalleled sense of achievement.”
Dark Souls releases on Xbox 360 and PS3 October 4th in the US, 7th in Europe.
