Get ready for more pleasure and pain, there’s a Dark Souls 3 Closed Beta test incoming!
Bandai Namco have announced a Beta test to help stress test the network. This will start on October the 4th and Beta Sign Ups will start tomorrow at 8am PT / 11am ET, with the Servers going live at different times across the world on the 16th of October (full details below).
Dark Souls 3 is already looking fantastic, with gorgeous current gen visuals, and a slightly faster combat style, taking some cues from Bloodborne (but shields will definitely be present). This is very much a Beta test, so expect to run into a few bugs along the way, and Bandai Namco are keen for testers to report any issues encountered. The Dark Souls 3 Beta test is on PS4 only, but will be available worldwide, so sign up if you’re brave enough to test From Software’s latest masochistic masterpiece!
