Sequel to From Software's role-playing game revealed at awards show; no word on platforms or launch window.

Dark Souls is getting a sequel. Tonight during the 2012 Video Game Awards show, Dark Souls 2 was announced via a new trailer.

Information regarding platform availability or a release window for Dark Souls 2 was not announced.

The original Dark Souls (itself a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls) has sold over 1.19 million units in North America and Europe since launch during October 2011. Despite its commercial success, From Software said that a sequel was not a sure thing.

Oh boy. Another game I get to put on my shelf because it's too damn hard to complete.

Dark Souls is so much easier than Demon Souls.

Now, Dark Souls, wasn't that bad.

Demon Souls is downright to the point I literally just gave up, after having waited nearly a year to "cool down"

Thing with Dark Souls is there are Bonfires EVERYWHERE. Plus, in Dark Souls, being Hollow doesn't have much disadvantage. However, in Demon Souls, being Soul form means 40% HP. "So, you died, you couldn't handle it, eh? WELL NOW YOU HAVE 60% LESS HP! GOOD LUCK!"

Only way to become human again? Beat a boss, use a Stone of Eurphmereal eyes(Incredibly rare), or be summoned by someone and beat a boss(rarer). It's just so god damned annoying.


Also, it doesn't have the poise mechanic of Dark Souls, which is incredibly annoying...I mean this guy with a great sword can combo you while you attack him...there are also a variety of enemies that can one shot you, after you took 40 or so minutes to get to a place, he one shots you...so go re-do, only to be one-shot again.

Dark Souls is reasonably difficult, cheap at times, yes, some enemies & bosses are just stupid cheap.(Manus)

The issue I have with the Souls games is this;

Usually if an enemy has high HP, Defense, Attack, he should be slow, no? Well nah, in this, an enemy can have high attack, high speed, high defense, and high HP. Which I find stupid...also, this "skill aspect" is vastly over-rated. It's such a fun, frustrating game. Demon Souls I want to beat, but no matter what I follow, even if I go to the Wiki and find "Cheap" methods out, I simply can't!

Though this video made me cry manly tears.

Holy **** :s

I loved Dark Souls (after i applied a few mods to it so that it was actually playable with a mouse). It had that nostalgic difficulty about it that was fair. Not once did i think it was impossible, but rather "**** i screwed up the dodge"

Sadly i have yet to finish it. But hearing of a sequel is something i like. As long as the PC port is done properly this time and i dont need third party software just to normally run it with keyboard + mouse

A proper port would be nice, yes.

I ended up playing with my PS3 controller after about 12 hours of trying with M+B(BEfore all the mods came out.)

I beat it recently, clocked in @ 60 hours for my first playthrough.(I may do another, but it has so little appeal! NG+ differences being so minor!)

Demon Souls I may have to give up forever on. I even managed to summon a Phantom, and we both still died to a random, normal enemy who was doing minor damage to us, then suddenly one hit killed us both. Just one of those "****" moments.

I tried with my controller. But because it isnt PS3 or XboX360 the analogs were messed up >.>
