I’m a huge fan of the Demon & Dark Souls games and was pretty bummed that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy any more Dark Souls II after beating it for the 3rd time. I’m happy to see that Takeshi Miyazoe and crew decided that the fans would love to venture into the world of Drangleic again. For a moment I was worried that I’d have to wait until next year of beyond to take another stab at a Soul Series game and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m referring to the upcoming “Project “Beast” from Sony Japan and FROMSOFTWARE.
Praise the Sun indeed!
