Dark Souls II Announced At VGAs

Dark Souls II was announced at the VGAs.

It was one of the surprise announcements on the night itself, being announced by way of a CGI trailer with no confirmation of what it was until the logo emerged at the end.

The CGI trailer is very much of the Dark Souls vibe - distant and jaded voiceover, medieval setting and a huge dragon that will probably take 80 billion attempts to kill.

No release date or platforms revealed yet.

Update; The official teaser site is now open.

It's been confirmed for PC, 360 and PS3 platforms and FromSoftware will be back at the development helm. A 'revamped server-based multiplayer mode' is promised and FromSoftware says it will 'take a very dark path' with this sequel.
