E3 2015: 20 Jaw-Dropping Game Reveals You Need To Know About

6. Dark Souls III

If you thought Dark Souls II was missing the indescribable spark that permeated every pixel of the first offering - it's most likely because you noticed original lead designer Hidetaka Miyazaki had resigned himself to less of a direct role, forever watching from the sidelines as he crafted every inch of Bloodborne. Now that's out the way he's back in full force with DS III, as well as noting it'll be the last 'Souls game to feature his input. Gameplay-wise those who've played on the show floor note it's essentially more of the same - but when you've happened across the formula for near-perfect action and RPG mechanics, you rarely need to tweak anything more. Instead there are a number of new chargeable power attacks you can unleash on your foes, and Miyazaki has noted as far as the locations themselves go it'll be an all-new interconnected series of environments that takes place in the "same world as DS 1 and 2" - whatever all that means to such an interpretable lore anyway.
