Dark Souls II Closed Beta Begins this Fall on the PlayStation 3

[Shawn Zipay]

Interested fans of the Dark Souls series will want to pay special attention to the Dark Souls II Facebook page starting September 5. On that date, Namco Bandai will start to release details regarding the registration process and provide information on how you can get into the closed beta for the game, which is scheduled to begin on October 5.

The depth of the DARK SOULS II Closed-Beta experience will truly test players’ skill, intestinal fortitude, and their sheer will to survive. The DARK SOULS II Closed-Beta will delve into one of the most treacherous areas of the DARK SOULS II world; players will not only get an opportunity to explore an entirely new area of the game, but also experience overwhelming enemy encounters, diabolical challenges, and the unrelenting difficultly that only the developers at FromSoftware can deliver.

This closed beta will be available only to PlayStation 3 gamers in North America and Europe, but the final game will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms in March 2014.
