Namco will announce Dark Souls 3 at E3, a source familiar with the matter has told VG247.

In news guaranteed to delight fans of the series, Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki is again heading the team.

Miyazaki, the father of the Souls series, moved onto a supervisory role for Dark Souls 2. Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura co-directed the sequel.

The platform to be used for the announcement is as yet unknown, but our source guessed the title may come during Sony’s E3 press conference on the Californian evening of Monday, June 15.

We received no specific details of the game itself.

Dark Souls 2 settled two points higher on Metacritic than the original, but some fans and reviewers disparaged the sequel over the fairness of its approach to Souls’ trademark ultra-hard difficulty level.

Series-watchers may be shocked at the announcement’s timing: Sony dev boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed in late May that Bloodborne is to be expanded, and that more details will be announced “later this year”.

E3 takes place in Los Angeles on the week commencing June 15. We’ve reached out to Namco for comment.

I have a hard time believing that tbh, as it would seem more logical that Bloodborne DLC would be worked on (and Sony would probably be more interested in banking a BB2 probably), but why not?

Only played Bloodborne but if DS3 plays like Bloodborne than I'm in. Heard DS is a much slower and punishing game than BB.

Does seem more likely we'll get DLC for BB rather than a new game announcement unless the game is 2017+.

It did say at the bottom that they are working on expanding Bloodborne. Additional content to come out later in the year I believe.

I haven't played Dark Souls 2 but both Demon Souls and the first Dark Souls are slower games and both much, much harder in my opinion than Bloodborne. In those games it's the opposite of Bloodborne, you actually have a shield and want to wait for openings before you attack. Sometimes you can get in a strafing/circling battle with certain non boss types for quite awhile. Well, then again I was never great at parrying which would have taken care of that problem rather quick.

Hell Yes! Fingers crossed.

TheCollector86 · 06-02-2015, 04:24 PM

I hope it's true.

Talal86 · 06-02-2015, 05:02 PM

Hopefully won't come sooner than 2017, for selfish reasons

I started Demon's Soul and it's not THAT different from Bloodborne, obviously you can block and use magic, but still found it very familiar (so far)

Nice, I loved Bloodborne and am eager to revisit the Souls games because of it. Funny, as I disliked Demon's quite a bit when it first came out (that sucker was hard

) but just when I thought I was out, From pulls me back in!

detective392 · 06-05-2015, 10:01 PM

Loved Bloodborne but this would be my first Souls games. Also depends on how hard DS3 is I guess. BB almost killed me it seems.

If this has fast loading times, I'm all for it. I don't mind getting killed but if I have to wait half a minute to resume, these games kill it for me.

Thanks for the update.

Worth noting that leak comes from the same guys hat said MS were buying Silent Hills rights from Konami for Billions of Dollars and that the game was 80% complete. So tread with caution on this one.

The HUD seems to be lifted from the 1st game.

Dark Souls 3 Art Confirms 'Early 2016' Release

Quote:

Following previous rumors suggesting the still unannounced Dark Souls 3 would release in 2016, IGN has obtained a Dark Souls 3 promotional image for E3 narrowing the release window.

The unreleased, official art below displays an armored hero covered tattered cloth and flames, as well as the suggested launch frame of "Early 2016."

This follows an earlier rumor that Dark Souls 3 would appear at E3, the video game industry trade show happening June 16-18, 2015, and later launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. We've contacted publisher Bandai Namco for additional information.

OK, that's what I thought as I tested it when I posted it.
