A few new screens, too. Black phantom looks pretty cool!

Warriors of Sunlight - Function like the Sunlight Covenant in the first game, complete with classic gesture.
Guardians of the Bell - Function similar to the forest defenders, but this time you are summoned as a black phantom to stop invaders ringing two bells somewhere in the world.

Hopefully someone who can read JP will do a better job at summarising than I can.

Sounds like ringing those bells will be something needed to progress in the game, and players will likely have to face a Guardian if they intend to do so.

I do not envy new players who pick up the game a year after release.

I hope the covenants actually work on launch this time. Had a lot of cool ideas.

Hah! It's Old Monk meets low level PVP at the Undead Parish.

Hope we get a Gravelord style covenant where you get to send enemies into another player's game. That is how Gravelord worked/was supposed to work right? Never played as one but the idea sounded really cool.

Or they can play offline and just face an NPC phantom.

Guardians of the Bell sounds really interesting. Seems like it could make for some pretty cool objective-based PvP.

mmm..But we need something that is clearly the equivalent of forest invading to spank naughty gankers in. Not clear if this bell covenant mirrors forest covenant ...

Eh, not sure how I feel about parts of the "main" game being defended by what will surely devolve eventually into an overpowered twink army.

The forest wasn't that bad, even allowing for the amazing matchmaking code in DkS. I don't imagine this will be a problem, either.

Anyone able to translate the text in this screenshot?

Every shot looks almost the same. There is no variety in these shots. Like... at all. I'm not talking about the environments or anything like that. I'm talking about the actual shot. The perspective and angles and what fills the picture. Like... It's all the same. Almost every single DkS2 screenshots all follow the SAME fucking style.

They promised 1080p60 on PC and there are some impressions from various conventions that confirm 60 FPS at least.

Same thing was done with the Dark Souls official screenshots.

EDIT:


Isn't that the Undead Church from DaS 1?

Indeed. Glad they kept the praise the sun gesture (how could they not).

Hearing nothing but good things about the game so far - the covenent system was great in DK 1 but definitely needed to be more discover able.

Oswald must've had renovators in since DS1 then since the bell looks a lot closer to the roof than it was originally, maybe he got sick of climbing that ladder too.


I doubt it's the same roof

I guess you don't remember climbing those tall ladders to get to the bell after the gargoyle fight.
