Get ready for another Dark Souls experience, where the game is out to make your experience as frustrating but potentially rewarding (depending on your play style). Bandai Namco Entertainment have today launched Dark Souls III (or Dark Souls 3 depending on your preference) in western markets. With no delay associated with the non-console release, this action RPG can now be purchased on the PlayStation 4 (Retail/Digital), Xbox One (Retail/Digital) and PC (Digital via Steam).
While you can freely play through Dark Souls III without needing to worry about the storyline, there is a fairly detailed plot to uncover. This game will see you as the Champion of Ash, trying to bring back the five Lords of Cinder. But, as this is a Dark Souls game, this will see the character drawn into a twisted world where deadly enemies, devious traps and hidden surprises will almost certainly see your character killed.
Following their release of Bloodborne in 2015 (Published by Sony Computer Entertainment), Dark Souls III is the latest instalment in FROM Software’s long running line of challenging action-RPG’s.
You can expect a review of Dark Souls III on The Otaku’s Study tomorrow.
