Dark Souls 3 is the zenith of the Souls brand of ruthless action

Lothric’s fire burns, and you’re the kindling.

Following the universal acclaim of From Software’s Bloodborne, lead designer Hidetaka Miyazaki returns to a more defensive, tactical action role-playing game. Dark Souls 3 (out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC) seeks to rekindle the ruthless cycle of death and discovery that grew the series a stalwart fanbase. Your character must bring back the Lords of Cinder to their thrones in order for them to kindle a flame integral to the dying world of Lothric. Between your character and the Lords is a decrepit land of towns teetering on cliff edges, musty catacombs, and a tale steeped in mystery.
