Namco will announce Dark Souls 3 at E3, a source familiar with the matter has told VG247.

In news guaranteed to delight fans of the series, Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki is again heading the team.

Miyazaki, the father of the Souls series, moved onto a supervisory role for Dark Souls 2. Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura co-directed the sequel.

The platform to be used for the announcement is as yet unknown, but our source guessed the title may come during Sony’s E3 press conference on the Californian evening of Monday, June 15.

We received no specific details of the game itself.

Dark Souls 2 settled two points higher on Metacritic than the original, but some fans and reviewers disparaged the sequel over the fairness of its approach to Souls’ trademark ultra-hard difficulty level.

Series-watchers may be shocked at the announcement’s timing: Sony dev boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed in late May that Bloodborne is to be expanded, and that more details will be announced “later this year”.

E3 takes place in Los Angeles on the week commencing June 15. We’ve reached out to Namco for comment.

I want this to be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Already? :|

From software making dat bank!!!

but seriously;(possibly) Dark Souls III and an Expansion for Bloodborne = MAX HYPE!!!!

We need the following:

Remaster for Demon's Souls (PS4)
Bloodborne Expansion (PS4)
Remaster for Dark Souls (X1, PS4, PC)
Demon's Souls 2 (PS4)
Dark Souls 3 (X1, PS4, PC)

I would not say that. Dark Souls 2 was announced in 2012 and released in 2014. If Dark Souls gets announced at E3 2015, we will it at the latest 2017.

It would be a nice reveal at E3. I just hope the game is as good as demon souls.

imo that's very unlikely unless From has nothing to do with this one

they just finished DS2 last year and released the remaster this year, while also releasing Bloodborne and still developing an expansion DLC

I expect their next title in 2-3 years

that's not telling the whole story, it was announced december 2012 and released march 2014 - ~15 month between announcement and release and not ~24

Bring more souls...

i see this is going to become a yearly series and i dont know how i feel about that...

i rather see them take a break and maybe make a new Armored Core or just take a year off and use it as development time and then announce the game next year.
