Ever since last week there have been little nuggets of dark fantasy floating around the annals of the internet which suggest that 2016 is not too early to expect Dark Souls III, the latest in From Software’s wildly challenging action-RPG series. With IGN and VG24/7 backing the story and two promotional images leaked today, it seems all but confirmed that we can expect to see Dark Souls III at E3 this very week, but with From Software refusing to comment on the validity of the story, we’ll have to wait on confirmation. In the mean time, Souls fans can gleefully self-flagellate themselves in hopeful anticipation that their next round of blissful gaming punishment may just be coming sooner than they expected.
