Dark Souls was a pleasantly punishing surprise when it came out, offering a grueling difficulty level set in a dismally dark fantasy world. The sequel is set to be released in March and the new trailer shows that same bleak backdrop.
While it may be fantasy, the creature designs are pretty damn horrific overall (like the original, natch) and hopefully the same sense of frustrating-but-fair difficulty that the original brutally boasted will be in effect.
Dark Souls 2 will be released March 14th, 2014 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
