E3 2015: Dark Souls 3 Gets Its First Trailer
As a well established alpha-nerd, I of course have a deep fondness for the Dark Souls series. You can find my writing on the subject littered throughout my various reviews, but I would direct you to my Bloodborne review for the best example of my ample tongue bathing. While sitting in the Microsoft Press Conference, I was pleased to see this brief trailer:

A new Dark Souls game? Color me green and white and praising the sun! I could speculate on the story given the consistent themes of crowns and faceless giants, but I won’t because Souls games have as much to do with each other as sane women and my love life.
Here’s some info from the Press Release:
SAN JOSE, Calif., (June 15, 2015) – Leading interactive entertainment company BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today proudly announced DARK SOULS™ III for an early 2016 release date for Xbox One, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC. A dark and brooding fantasy adventure awaits players in a vast twisted world full of fearsome beasts, devious traps and hidden secrets.
Developed by acclaimed Japanese developer FromSoftware, DARK SOULS III is the latest chapter in the critically acclaimed DARK SOULS series with its trademark sword and sorcery combat and rewarding action RPG gameplay. Players will travel across a wide variety of locations in an interconnected world of unrelenting challenge and deep RPG gameplay as they search for a way to survive the coming apocalypse.
“The DARK SOULS series has built a revered reputation placing it in the highest echelon of revered video game properties of all time,” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “We are very excited to see Hidetaka Miyazaki and his talented team at FROMSOFTWARE working on DARK SOULS III.”
I doubt there will be any more information during this E3, but rumors have it that the European press release stated that this is the final of the series. There will certainly be more games like this in the future, but it will be interesting to see the Dark Souls line wrap up, maybe trying the games together. I’ll be sure to update you all as information comes in.
