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<\/em><\/strong> twist on the concept of playing and sharing with others. For those with enough tenacity and sheer force of will, great rewards await.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere 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,\u201d said Olivier Comte, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Distribution at NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe. \u201cThe game doesn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new chapter in the Dark Souls<\/em><\/strong> 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<\/em><\/strong> in order to evolve the overall experience of the Dark Souls <\/em><\/strong>series,\u201d says Tomohiro Shibuya, FromSoftware Director on Dark Souls II<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cThe entire development team is striving to make Dark Souls II<\/em><\/strong> 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
