News: Namco Bandai releases a new entry in their popular Dark Souls franchise in North America for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Dark Souls 2 is now available throughout North America on Xbox 360 and PS3. In Dark Souls 2, players face sadistic enemies and vile bosses as they journey through a devastated world where every step can turn into a struggle for survival. Only those with battle-hardened skills, strong intestinal fortitude, and cunning will survive their Dark Souls 2 experience and achieve ultimate glory. Perseverance is key to achieving victory against the unrelenting bloodthirsty enemies and diabolical environments that await adventurers on this arduous journey.

Dark Souls 2 immerses players in a bleak setting full of danger and adventure while allowing them to discover what lies beneath the anguish and pain that engulfs the world. With Dark Souls 2, Tokyo based developer FromSoftware has taken steps to enrich players’ experiences through improved visuals, life-like animations and dynamic lighting, while preserving the game’s core tenants to provide challenging gameplay and deliver true emotional elation from each hard-fought victory.

“Possessing both technical and esthetic improvements over its predecessor, Dark Souls 2 represents the pinnacle of From Software’s development prowess on both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 systems,” says Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Namco Bandai Games America Inc. “No other game combines the technical craft of video game development with the delivery of true emotional highs and lows quite like the Dark Souls franchise. Players must prepare themselves for a truly unique gaming experience and go beyond death once they enter the world of Dark Souls 2.”
