Dark Souls III Details Leaked

Information about Dark Souls 3 has leaked via Rooster Teeth YouTube show The Know, and it appears to be legit. The leaks include gameplay details, concept art, and screenshots from the third installment of Dark Souls. The game will reportedly release in 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One, with a PC version still being “negotiated.”

Other details tell us Dark Souls III will support 1-4 players, although it’s not clear yet whether that’s in co-op or PvP. Players will be able to choose from 10 classes when creating their characters. The video also shows 15 new bosses and 12 new areas to explore, adding up to an area similar in size to the original Dark Souls. As far as monsters go, the video claims there will be 45 new enemies plus whatever characters and monsters from previous games are included.

In terms of items, the player will be equipped to fight those enemies with 100 new weapons and 40 new armour sets. The way players will interact with each other will also be new. Instead of using soapstones and signs, Dark Souls III will use sacrifices. This will apparently have players dragging around bodies and performing rituals to visit other people’s games. The sacrifice ceremonies will also apparently create new bonfires wherever the player chooses to perform them.

But it’s not just items and monsters that are new. The way players approach fights is also set to be drastically changed. Boss battles will have a new “heat up” factor, an example of which shows an enemy that will appear either as a regular knight or a horrifying monster. There aren’t a lot of details about how this will work just yet, but it will apparently “completely change” boss battles. Other changes include “sword fighting arts,” light sources, and enemy layouts. Another big change is that there will be far more cutscenes in Dark Souls III than in previous From Software games – around 60 minutes to be precise.

Rooster Teeth claim that the official “big reveal” of Dark Souls III is, unsurprisingly, scheduled for later this month at E3. From Software have not commented on the leaks, perhaps because they are choosing to wait until their official reveal. Check out the video and some of the screenshots below.

Ubisoft says that future Assassin’s Creed games will need more time to be made

As Assassin’s Creed Shadows is about to sneak up on people in November, Ubisoft says that the time between developing games needs to be longer to find the “right balance.” Shadows has been in development for four years, longer than any other game in the series up to this point. That includes the huge open-world epics Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Shadows lead producer Karl Onnée (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz) says that the latest AC game took 25% longer to make than Valhalla. He says this is necessary to keep the quality of the series that it is known for: “It’s always a balance between time and costs, but the more time you have, the more you can iterate.” You can speed up a project by adding more people to it, but that doesn’t give you more time to make changes.

Onnée says this has as much to do with immersion and aesthetics as it does with fixing bugs and smoothing out pixels. This is because the development team needs time to learn about each new historical setting: “We are trying to make a game that is as real as possible.” We’re proud of it, and the process took a long time. In feudal Japan, building a house is very different from building a house in France or England in the Middle Ages. As an artist, you need to learn where to put things in a feudal Japanese home. For example, food might not belong there. Get all the information you need and learn it. That process takes a long time.”

You’ll have to wait a little longer for Ubisoft to work on each game. Are you okay with that? In what part of Shadows are you now? Is it interesting to you? Leave a comment below and let us know.

You can now pre-order Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, a remaster that Dragami Games and Capcom both created. You can now pre-order the PS5 game on the PS Store for $44.99 or £39.99. If you have PS Plus, you can get an extra 10% off the price.

The company put out a new trailer with about three minutes of gameplay to mark the start of the pre-order period. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remaster of Grasshopper Manufacture’s crazy action game from 2012. You play as Juliet, a high school student who fights off waves of zombies.

The remaster adds RePOP mode, an alternative mode that swaps out the blood and gore for fun visual effects. It also adds a bunch of other features and improvements that make the game better overall. You can expect the graphics and sound to be better as well.

The game will now come out on September 12, 2024, instead of September 12, 2024. Are you excited to get back to this? Please cheer us on in the section below.

This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 zombies trailer is way too expensive

Is there really anyone who is following the story of Call of Duty’s zombie mode? We’ve known about the story in a vague way for a while, but we couldn’t tell you anything about it. It looks like the “Dark Aether” story will continue in Black Ops 6, but we don’t really know what that means.

For those of you who care, here is the official blurb with some background: “Requiem, led by the CIA, finally closed the last-dimensional portal, sending its inhabitants back to the nightmare world known as the Dark Aether, after two years of fighting zombie outbreaks around the world during the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War timeline.”

Wait, there’s more! “Agent Samantha Maxis gave her life to seal this weird dimension from the inside out.” Even worse things were to come: senior staff members of Requiem were arrested without a reason by the Project Director, who turned out to be Edward Richtofen.

Black Ops 6 will take place about five years later, and it looks like it will show more about Richtofen’s goals and motivations. The most important thing is that you will probably be shooting an unimaginable number of zombies in the head. This week, on August 8, there will be a full reveal of the gameplay, so keep an eye out for that.
