Liked Demon Souls, as well as Dark Souls 1? Well, a trailer for Dark Souls 2 is now out!

Naturally, it shows absolutely nothing other than CG scenes, which allow people to speculate over what is (or isn’t) in each frame. The video was taken from Spike’s VGA’s (Video Game Awards) [hence the clapping and cheering]

This sequel promises a revamped multiplayer experience, a new protagonist, new lands to explore, new monsters and bosses, new weapons and armors, etc. Similarly, you will be an undead entity that cycles between hollow and human. It WILL be difficult, as it’s one of the selling points of the game — under the belief that if the game is challenging, it is all the more rewarding when you beat a milestone (such as slaying a hard boss or completing a task).

There is no release date, nor much other information from the creators: FromSoftware. However, it should be noted that the game WILL be released for PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the Xbox 360 consoles. Whether or not it will make its way to the Windows PC, however, is a completely different question. It took a lot of pushing just to get Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, after all, which in itself was a late port with some nice extra content available on console versions of the game through DLC.

I’m personally hoping for some new classes and spells. It would also be nice if a town existed, but I doubt that will be the case! More information will be posted as it comes in.
