Dark Souls III First Gameplay Trailer Revealed At Gamescom
Dark Souls III has had its first gameplay trailer revealed at Gamescom in Germany. The hotly anticipated RPG sequel by From Software had its gameplay trailer revealed at Microsoft’s Gamescom press conference and it looks just as dark and grim as fans were expecting. From Software also promises that Dark Souls III will be a seriously difficult game.
Dark Souls III, which is due to be released in 2016, appears to have faster-paced action than previous games in the series. The trailer shows off an array of horrific bosses and scary-looking locations. It’s clearly got plenty of that dark, gritty action that Souls fans know and love.
It’s also going to be difficult. While Dark Souls II was an extremely popular game, fans of the series had to admit that it wasn’t up to the standard that had been set by the previous Souls games. The soul-destroying difficulty just wasn’t there, and it was also a weaker game in other ways, such as lore. But with the upcoming third instalment, Miyazaki and From Software have been keen to emphasise that they’re focusing on bringing back that difficulty.
“Everything is designed to kill you,” said Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game’s director, at E3. Miyazaki directed Demon Souls and Dark Souls, but took a back seat for Dark Souls II. “The basic gameplay elements, the sense of accomplishment experienced by overcoming difficulty, or the unique online features that allow players to loosely connect with other players, are still in the game. But we’ve now evolved and deepened those basic gameplay elements,” he said (via VG247).
From Software has focused on emphasising Dark Souls III’s evolved combat and on the huge scale of the post-apocalyptic, open world. This gameplay trailer certainly shows off a lot of those elements, from the game’s stunning visuals to the many, many ways players can be decapitated in battle. It’s sure to excite Souls fans.
One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!
UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.
UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”

On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.
Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”
Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.
In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.
CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.
During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.
Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”
Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
