No specific date as yet, though. Later than the Japanese date, though.

Bandai Namco announced here at Toyko Game Show 2015 that Dark Souls III will be releasing in April of 2016 in North and South America as well as Europe. That puts the latest entry in the Dark Souls series just a year after the spun off PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne.

Ceaseless discharge me if old, but it didn't come up in search, so *shrug*

Cautiously optimistic

Hades Hotgun · Sep 17, 2015

Recklessly excited.

raven777 · Sep 17, 2015

I wonder why the gap? DS2 released 2 days earlier.

gundamkyoukai · Sep 17, 2015

April is a good time , will be able to finish a few games by then .

Dsyndrome · Sep 17, 2015

Was there a gap for 2 or Bloodborne?
Appears not. Wonder the cause.

Mifec · Sep 17, 2015

Only info I need is on the PC release since 60fps+ Souls is the only way for me.

Lionheart1827 · Sep 17, 2015

As much as I'd love Dark Souls 3 in a few short months, I'm glad its pushed to April, simply due to so many games coming out nov/dec/feb/mar and also gives me time to finish the Bloodborne DLC

JediLink · Sep 17, 2015

Let's hope the PC release isn't even later than that.

Probably to shore up Japanese sales a bit.

Either way all I care about is if I get the PC version same day as console.

HYDE · Sep 17, 2015

April B-Day...perfecto!

kinoki · Sep 17, 2015

Smiling politely.

CoyoteSpitfire · Sep 17, 2015

That gap a little disappointing.

Maybe because March is so crowded here in States. We have Mankind Divided, Uncharted, and Mirrors Edge right?

johnnydrama · Sep 17, 2015

I'm gonna play this on PC, so I hope there isn't a delay. 60FPS Soulsborne. Goddamn.

Trust me. I'm a PhD · Sep 17, 2015

Works for me^^ Uncharted needs some breathing before I try jumping into another full blown RPG

demosthenes · Sep 17, 2015

Great, I have busy season until apirl.

JMY86 · Sep 17, 2015

My understanding was that the Souls game sold better in the west. I do not understand this horse shit at all. I am just disappointed I guess. I am a huge Souls fan but I could not care less about Mirrors Edge or Uncharted if I tried...

Sanctuary · Sep 17, 2015

just a year after the spun off PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne.

Wouldn't it still be "spin-off"?

The new footage looks amazing.

Any number of things could cause a short delay like this.

Rizific · Sep 17, 2015

I will legit cry if they cap this shit at 30fps on pc. Please. Don't.

They won't, Dark Souls II was an amazing port.

Why the hell would they? Dark Souls 2 wasn't capped at 30fps.

I'd read about the uppercut from the special stance on the greatsword, but seeing how high that enemy got launched... can't wait.

Soriku · Sep 17, 2015

I hope that's early April. At least the Bloodborne DLC launches at the same time worldwide.

JayEH · Sep 17, 2015

Slightly behind japan release date

oh well

ShockingAlberto · Sep 17, 2015

Weird, they usually aim for worldwide with these.

I guess not to stress servers, but I cannot imagine Japan makes a huge difference versus US and Europe.

dsk1210 · Sep 17, 2015

I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that Dark Souls III will be locked at 30fps on PC.

They were showing it on PC earlier this year and it was locked at 30. I am hoping that is so that people do not believe the PS4 and Xbone will be 60fps.

Green Card · Sep 17, 2015

I'm in Day 1 for this and the DLC (if they release a physical copy with it).

brickarts295 · Sep 17, 2015

Thank the lord, I might actually breathe in March.

zenosparadox · Sep 17, 2015

Sounds good to me!

Dr. Kitty Muffins · Sep 17, 2015

I will now begin my slow, long wait for the US PSN store to update with the option to preorder this.

Has anyone managed to beat this boss? Its spin attack at the end was awesome.

jb1234 · Sep 17, 2015

Good, that'll give me time to finish Uncharted 4.

Even though I can live with it, I'm a little salty for the same reason.

Yes. And they got a T-shirt for it:

Sanctuary · Sep 17, 2015

The enemy designs and especially some of the animations appear to be sharing a very large overlap with Bloodborne. Wonder if it's just an engine thing, or if that's the price of Myazaki working on both at the same time.

MegaSackman · Sep 17, 2015

If I recall correctly Bloodborne launched in Feb in Japan and March in NA.

Dysun · Sep 17, 2015

I still need to beat Dark Souls 2 and I have my hands full with games coming up. Yikes

awesome though

Probably just cutting costs as much as possible.

Hypron · Sep 17, 2015

Delay between the JP and western release? What year is this?

Of course, but no one wants to start comparing them to Ubisoft just yet.

Gbraga · Sep 17, 2015

Bring it! Hopefully no delay for the PC version, but if it's at most 2 months, I can wait.

ironcreed · Sep 17, 2015

Works for me.
