Dark Souls 3 will reportedly release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2016, with a PC version that is still being "negotiated."Rooster Teeth's show The Know claims to have obtained screenshots and details of From Software's next game int he beloved series.
According to the leak, the game will support 1-4 players, although whether that's in a co-op or PvP sense remains to be seen. When you build your character at the start of the game, you'll have the option to choose one of 10 different character classes.
On the monster front, Rooster Teeth claims that Dark Souls 3 will contain 45 new enemies and 15 new bosses, with a note that this number doesn't include characters and monsters that have appeared in previous Souls games. In order to combat these creatures, the leak also states that there will be 100 new weapons and 40 new armor sets to deck out your character with. Alongside this are reportedly 60 minutes of mostly in-engine cutscenes, which is a number far higher than previous From Software games.
The Know also claims that Dark Souls 3 will house about 12 different areas, totaling up an amount of content similar to the original Dark Souls. As these navigate the world, the way you interact with other players online will reportedly be different. Instead of soapstones and signs, Dark Souls 3 will have you participating in sacrifice ceremonies, which have you dragging around bodies to specific areas, performing a ritual, and visiting another person's game.
The final big details in the reported leak deal with the bosses in Dark Souls 3. Boss battles will have a new "heat up" factor that changes the way you approach an encounter. An example given includes a fight against an enemy who can either come at you as a standard-looking knight, or a nightmarish creature reminiscent of something from Bloodborne. Finally, Rooster Teeth claims that Dark Souls 3 will receive its full reveal later this month at E3 2015, which goes along with a story we reported on earlier this week.
