Dark Souls 3 is a matter of months away, so the gameplay footage is emerging thick and fast. The video below, taken from a recent livestream hosted by From Software, doesn’t look like anything new at first glance.The environment is familiar from previous demo footage, but the two classes used – the knight and cleric – haven’t been shown in any great detail before.
The commentary is in Japanese, but the footage speaks for itself. Character animations are a lot more fluid and theatrical than in previous entries, especially if you’re wielding a scimitar, which tends to bring out the latent ballerina in even the most hardboiled warrior. Dark Souls 3 releases April 12. Details on a season pass leaked earlier this week, indicating that two DLC packs will follow.
