Namco Bandai has officially announced the existence of “Dark Souls II” in a release from the Japanese developer last night. From Software has revealed that the sequel to what many fans claim to be one of the hardest games ever created, “Dark Souls II” will be releasing on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. A new teaser website for the game was also launched today, which will inform fans with information from the upcoming title when it becomes available.

Perhaps the most important bit of info given about the upcoming sequel so far is the change to the game’s multiplayer network. In the first “Dark Souls,” gamers connected in a peer-to-peer format with one player hosting the session. “Dark Souls II,” however will feature dedicated game servers that will host all players on a single networked system.

PvPers should be excited over that!

Also I found a comment on Siliconera that I thought was hilarious:

"Thank god Dark Souls II isn't on the Wii U. That controller is way to expensive to be thrown" lol

dame i have yet to get the 1st one yet

Can someone explain to me why are dedicated servers better than P2P?

Because the "host" actually has a decent connection.

LOL at that coment and AW YAA to dedicated servers like Demon's Souls, I remember back then it was so easy to summon people including friends!

Now I feel old.

Just make it like in Demon Souls and get rid of the covenants

Is it time nintendo fans started a petition ?
