Press Release
PARIS, FRANCE –
December 8, 2012 – Leading video game publisher
and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe today announced that
the critically acclaimed Dark Souls saga marches forward with Dark
Souls™ II, currently in development at FromSoftware in Tokyo,
Japan, for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PC. Dark Souls II will
continue a legacy of presenting its passionate fans with the kind of
unrelenting challenges that have become a hallmark of the series,
while presenting devilish new obstacles for players to overcome.
Built upon the
foundation established by Souls series creator and Dark Souls II
Supervisor, Hidetaka Miyazaki, with development helmed by
FromSoftware Director Tomohiro Shibuya, Dark Souls II will feature a
new hero, a new storyline, and an unfamiliar world for players to
survive in while delivering the uncompromising challenge and ultimate
sense of empowerment that players hunger for. Epic battles with
gruesome enemies and blood-thirsty bosses await adventurers as they
traverse and conquer a devastated world filled with death and
despair. Players will also discover a revamped server based
multiplayer experience that will put a distinct Dark Souls II twist
on the concept of playing and sharing with others. For those with
enough tenacity and sheer force of will, great rewards await.
“There
are few games that are as rewarding for players as the Dark Souls
series, and Dark Souls II will give every player that steps up to
take the challenge a feeling of empowerment that they will never
forget,” said Olivier Comte, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and
Distribution at NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe. “The game doesn’t
accept compromise, and neither do the brilliant people at
FromSoftware who will test their own tenacity as well as that of
gamers in delivering us another gaming landmark.”
“This new chapter in
the Dark Souls saga presents opportunities for us to drive innovation
in gameplay design, develop an entirely new story, and expand the
scope of the world in which the player interacts with the game. We
have taken these necessary steps with Dark Souls II in order to
evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls series,” says
Tomohiro Shibuya, FromSoftware Director on Dark Souls II. “The
entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II an
experience that is fresh while not forsaking its roots in presenting
players with challenging gameplay. Our goal is to surprise and
delight our fans with new experiences and plot twists while enticing
new players to join our dark journey.”
