Dark Souls III – Bandai Namco – April 12 (Multiplatform)
Dark Souls III is arguably the biggest game on the list for the month of April. From Software launches its third entry in the rage inducing franchise on April 12 in North America. Already seeing release in Japan, the early feedback is that it’s more beautiful and more punishing than ever. New combat features are introduced in Dark Souls III, including ‘Weapon Arts’, which are special abilities that vary from weapon to weapon that enable extra damage and unique movesets for a limited time, at the cost of magic points. Small gravestones are also introduced which light up when interacted with and not only serve as players’ torches, but also provide additional lore to the game. While Dark Souls II saw only eight classes, down from the ten in the first game, we see Dark Souls III bounce back to ten. If you’re itching to feel the pain of the ‘YOU DIED’ screen, you don;t have much longer to wait.
