The Elden Ring Art Book Is Coming

The Elden Ring Art Book Is Coming

, , , 4

Confession time: I’m the only gamer in the entire United States Of America who hasn’t played Elden Ring. The reason I’ve been avoiding it is the same reason I avoided Dark Souls and its sequels — From Software games tend to be brutally hard, and I don’t generally enjoy brutally hard games (except for Cuphead for some reason — that 1930s art style goes a long way). This means I lack the ability to pepper this news item with clever references to the game itself. Hopefully this sentence from the press release will do the work for me: “The Tarnished over at UDON Entertainment have used up all of their Smithing Stones to upgrade their UDON Store Exclusive Elden Ring Official Art Book Set into something truly worthy of the [Demi]Gods!” Did that make sense? I hope so. But it’s true: UDON is gearing up to release The Elden Ring Official Art Book later this summer. Originally published in Japan, the book will contain identical contents, just in English. As

Dark Souls III Season Pass Confirmed

Dark Souls III Season Pass Confirmed

, , , , , , , , , 0

It looks like Dark Souls III will be getting an official Season Pass. The Dark Souls III Season Pass is now being listed on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Steam, and players can pre-order both there. From Software and Bandai Namco Games have not released any official details yet on DLC or the content for the Season Pass, but this is the first indication of what will be coming. Based on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the Season Pass for the game will feature “two epic DLC packs at a discounted price.” This will include new maps for the game, new boss encounters, new enemies to fight, additional weapons and also armor sets. So players will have to wait for more specifics on what they will be getting from the Season Pass later on. The price for the Season Pass has also been confirmed at $24.99. Why one would also pre-order a Season Pass also seems strange. For one to pre-order a Season Pass, there should be some sort of bonus

Dark Souls Series Has Sold 8 Million Copies Worldwide

Dark Souls Series Has Sold 8 Million Copies Worldwide

, , , , , , , , , , 0

The Dark Souls franchise is still seen as niche by many gamers but the series has grown out of its cult status from Demon’s Souls into a series that attracts millions of fans. The uncompromising difficulty, huge open worlds and unique mechanics have proven to be a hit with role-playing players and Famitsu has now revealed that the sales of the two Dark Souls games across all platforms has reached an impressive 8 million copies worldwide. What is interesting is that despite From Software being a Japanese developer, the series hasn’t fared particularly well in their home country. Sales in Japan are only around a fifth of the total sales from other territories, with the number of copies sold hovering around 300,000 per title. The breakdown for the figures includes the fact that the first Dark Souls title has sold more than 5 million units, with 3.25 million of those on PC. Meanwhile, Dark Souls 2 has moved around 2 million copies while Scholar of the First Sin and the

Dark Souls III Will Not be the Last Entry in the Series

Hidetaka Miyazaki has explained in an interview with Eurogamer that Dark Souls III will not be the last game in the series. He went on to explain that it will act as a turning point in the franchise and the future of developer From Software in general. “First of all, this is not the final product for the Dark Souls series. However, I believe it’s the turning point for the Dark Souls series. First of all, Dark Souls has a really unique worldview. It’s not a good idea, continuously releasing titles for this series because of that factor. And this will probably be the turning point of From Software as a whole – it’s the last project we started working on before I became president. It’s basically From Software, they started working on this project when it was an older generation. So it’s a turning point. It’ll be a turning point, but it’s not final. “From Software is well known not only for the fantasy game, but they’ve been creating the

Bloodborne 'Undone by the Blood' Trailer: The Hunt Begins

, , , , , , 0

FromSoftware and SCE Japan Studio have released the latest trailer for the upcoming action role-playing game Bloodborne. The “Undone by the Blood” trailer is available in the player below. The latest videos offers more hints on the mystery behind the ancient city of Yharnam, a city that was overrun by a plague of beasts. The imagery and monsters from the game footage in the new trailer definitely look like the stuff of nightmares. At the same time, the footage gives the story this almost ethereal, elegant quality. It almost as if what is taking place is not truly real and is in itself like a personal nightmarish hell as well as a dream inside the mind of the Hunter protagonist. The moments at the end of the trailer are also very eerie. There is a clip of the Hunter character falling over in a field of flowers like he/she is passing out unconscious or to the Hunter’s eternal resting place. Then there is a shot of a baby carriage in

'The Hunt Begins' in New Bloodborne Story Trailer

, , , , , , , , 0

From Software and SCE Japan Studio have released the official story trailer for Bloodborne. The new video, which offers a deeper look at the rotting and haunted city of Yharnam, is available below. The new trailer gives a look at and offers some backstory on the game’s main setting of Yharnam. Long ago, the city was overrun by a plague beasts and demons. Now it is a rotting shell of its former self and home to all manners of ghouls, ghosts and monsters. The city is home to some dark secrets, which the Hunter looks to uncover. It seems the denizens of the town have a “thirst for blood,” and it is that consumption of the blood that makes them into demonic creatures. A mysterious character says, “The blood makes us human, makes us more than human, makes us human no more.” There is also a motif throughout the trailer of a female figure speaking kindly to the Hunter character. But her words seem to belie an almost sinister motive.

Being developed by Techland, the developers behind Dead Island, we can see some similarties between the two series. Yes, Dying Light will have zombies, but it adds parkour free running which will make for a unique experience. Another feature will be the day-night cycle, which will have players hiding from zombies in the night. 9. Rise

Dark Souls 2 Coming To PS4, Xbox One It has been rumoured since its original launch, but now From Software have confirmed that Dark Souls 2 will be released for next-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One in 2015 under the title Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. Here’s the announcement trailer; From Software had previously only mentioned that the Dark Souls 2 engine was scaleable to next gen hardware, without ever confirming if or when Dark Souls 2 would move onto the PS4 and Xbox One. The improved version of the game will launch on April 7, 2015. In addition to upscaled visuals on newer hardware, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin will include new content, additional item descriptions, more in-game events that promise to expand the storyline alongside additional NPCs. The new version will also launch as both a standalone title for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC without the upscaled visuals or as a free update for existing players. Dark Souls 2 currently sports a

Sony has announced that Bloodborne has been delayed to March 24, 2015 in North America and March 25 in Europe. Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa stated the delay would allow the team to deliver the best possible final experience. He explained further in a post on the PlayStation blog. “While development continues unabated, we would like our team to deliver the best possible final experience,” he said. “We were gratified by the feedback and data we received from those who participated in our limited Alpha test. The extra production time will also allow us to better integrate these learnings.” Bloodborne was originally scheduled to launch on February 6, 2015. It will now be available in March, exclusively on the PlayStation 4.

Bloodborne Pushed Back From Software’s highly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne has been pushed back from its February 2015 release date to the tail end of March 2015, as announced via the PlayStation Blog this morning. From Software cite the reason for the delay as needing time “to deliver the best possible experience”. Information gleaned from the extremely limited Bloodborne Alpha last month and player feedback has been taken on board by From Software – the extra development time should allow the developer to fine tune the game and respond to the concerns and suggestions from players. From Software also notes that new Bloodborne news will be revealed in December, again via the PlayStation Blog, as part of the on-going promotion for the title. Look out for our hands-on of Bloodborne from the EGX demo – in short, I absolutely loved the gameplay and direction that From Software are taking with the new title, the spiritual but indirect sequel to the Souls games. Bloodborne is faster, a little more akin to Devil May
