Dark Souls 3 is still three weeks out from a release in the west, which is excruciating for major fans of the series What's even worse is spoilers and the like will probably start slipping out too, as the Japanese release is due out tomorrow. To go with the launch in the East, this launch trailer[...]

Dark Souls 3 is probably not something you'd associate with Cyndi Lauper, but some one in the game's marketing department certainly did And it's pretty rad. This new trailer for the game uses a rather dark cover of the song True Colors, perfectly fitting with the downbeat world that you'll be exploring in the game It's[...]

While certainly not the hardest game ever made, Dark Souls has represented a stiff challenge for gamers entering its world ever since its release It represents that challenge so much though, that it has encourage players to beat it in a slew of wacky and zany way, with guitar controls, bongo controllers, no armour, just[...]

Dark Souls is now a classic title It's appeared on 'Best Games of All Time' lists and has one of the most dedicated communities any franchise can boast.

Dark Souls 3 isn't so far off now It feels we were only just recently done with Bloodborne and we'll be back for another Hidetaka Miyazaki directed Souls game in April . To get you nice and jazzed all over again though, here is a ton of artwork and screenshots from the game This certainly has[...]

There have been a lot of Dark Souls games since the franchise made it big with the first game, which only came out in 2011 From Software are now gearing up for Dark Souls 3's release, coming just a year after Bloodborne, which took from the Souls series pretty liberally.

I know some people get precious about Dark Souls boss spoilers as they want to experience them for the first time in the game, so if that is so, turn back now. The Dark Souls technical beta is now out there for the lucky few who have been let in, and with that a little footage[...]

Dark Souls 3 is shockingly close to release considering how long we've known about it We only caught wind of it around E3 and it will be in our hands in just a few months (April to be exact) It doesn't seem it is going to be a botched job either Legendary creator Hidetaka Miyazaki[...]

I've been following Twitch plays Dark Souls for a while now The idea of a community coming together and besting one of the most notorious modern games sounded like a recipe for disaster It was for the first few days too, until admin stepped in and put the game on a pausing system. That did the[...]

Dark Souls 3, up to this point has remained elusive, leaving demos only to E3 and Gamescom behind closed doors. Finally, you guys can now get a glimpse of what it looks like in action though And this may shock you, but it looks like a Dark Souls game with better graphics This video comes from[...]

We learnt just the other day that Dark Souls 3 is going to be launching in Japan March 24th The feeling was that the West would get the game at the same time, having at least some kind of semblance of release parity. Not so it seems, as Souls fans in American and Europe are going[...]

Dark Souls 3 is slowly beginning to ramp up its marketing campaign as we trudge towards its 2016 release date Fans of course will be excited to see the father of these games Hidetaka Miyazaki return to the Souls series, after taking Dark Souls II off. We heard word of a Japanese release date last week,[...]

With Bloodborne now in the bag, it's scary to think how close Dark Souls III is We've been told we'd have it 'early 2016' at its E3 announcement, but we may now be closer to knowing a final release date. This supposedly comes from Game Jouhou by way of Silconera, who are claiming that the game will hit[...]

I wrote about Twitch plays Dark Souls a few days ago, talking about the unorganised madness the whole thing was The game was just too complex to really trust thousands of people putting in random commands at any one time After flailing around in the starting area for two days, things have improved now as[...]

A Dark Souls Stream has started and for 2 days the community has fumbled through the first area, not making much progress You can take a look at the whole glorious mess right here. Watch live video from TwitchPlaysDark on www.twitch.tv If the community ever actually beat this, I'll be floored.   This year has been all about[...]

Dark Souls III is already coming, and it's not going to have been even a year out from Bloodborune when it lands When you consider it is being directed by the same man, Hidetaka Miyazaki it's clear that is a fast turnaround. The game was announced at Microsoft's E3 press conference, and following suit, it got a[...]

This is just a little note for those of you who will be out at GamesCom. If you are a big fan of From Software's Souls series, the big gaming convention

From Software's Dark Souls series is a strange success The franchise's achievements are more or less predicated on word of mouth yet it is so different from what we'd expect from a huge successful video game franchise Clunky and slow in animation, no real narrative and geared heavily towards the hardcore gamer. Successful it has been[...]

When Dark Souls 3 was announced for early next year, it raised some eyebrows With Bloodborne only out in March, how could From Software have the time to put together another full game in such a short time? It turns out that more than one team has been working on it, and besides game head Hidetaka[...]

Right, so this is a web of uncertainty and believable sources, so bare with me. The Know are claiming that Dark Souls 3 is real in their latest episode, which was rumoured for an E3 appearance earlier this week, and followed up the claims with screenshots that look pretty convincing In the video they claim that[...]

This week we take on that Fallout 4 countdown that lead to the reveal of the game, the possibility of Dark Souls 3, Steam offering refunds before detouring nicely into a very philosophical debate about Waluigi and a game that lets you take dick pics.
