Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades Edition, containing the base game and both expansions, was released in April 2017. Two downloadable content (DLC) expansions, Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City, were also made.


It shipped over three million copies within its first two months and over 10 million by 2020. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the series, returned to direct the game after handing the development duties of Dark Souls II to others.ĭark Souls III was critically and commercially successful, with critics calling it a worthy and fitting conclusion to the series. The third and final entry in the Dark Souls series, it is played in a third-person perspective, and players have access to various weapons, armour, magic, and consumables that they can use to fight their enemies. The magicians in Miyazaki-san’s team sure know how to make a game with a legacy that few franchises in history can match, and the shining beacon of hope that the Dark Souls franchise proves that AAA games can still have unmatched swagger, charm, polish, and challenge.įew games still will allow this willful bastardization of what they spent years creating, and we probably should be thankful towards the people that can take it even after spending their money, blood, sweat, and tears to make it what it is today.Dark Souls III is a 2016 action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. That being said, FromSoftware has a history of continually churning out quality video games that are worth every penny spent on them, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the much-hyped upcoming Elden Ring.

Well, not as long as the director of the game, Hidetaka Miyazaki is concerned.ĭark Souls 3 canonically is the ending of that series of games, Miyazaki-san is a firm believer of moving on from superhit titles and franchises and keeping things fresh, so it will not come as a surprise if the studio does not in fact develop another title centered around the kingdom of Lothric.
