Dark Souls III

Dark Souls III (ダークソウルIII Dāku Sōru Surī?) is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by From Software. It was officially announced on June 15th, 2015 at E3. The game will be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 24th, 2016 in Japan, with a worldwide release scheduled for April 16th of the same year.

Plot
Set in the Kindgom of Lothric, the player is tasked to survive an oncoming apocalypse brought about by the ongoing conflict between Light and Dark across the series. To survive this event they must face the Lords of Cinder, previous heroes who linked the fire, as the cycle of Light and Dark reaches a breaking point.

Gameplay
Similar to Dark Souls II, fast travel will be available from the outset, and players will be able to respec stat points.

New Game+ will feature new weapons, items, and reconfigured enemy locations. Durability will be somewhere between the first two games. The same summoning system from the first two games will feature, as will Illusory Walls.

There will be a MP bar, similar to the one found in Demon's Souls, which will govern Battle Arts and Spell uses. The bar can be refilled by resting at a bonfire, or using a special Estus Flask called an Ash Estus Flask. There will also be a new Ritual mechanic where players will be able to create Bonfires.

The "Lord of Cinder" mode replaces the Humanity/Human Effigy system from the previous games. The player becomes a Lord of Cinder by consuming an Ember which increases their health by 40% and allows them to summon other players to their world. This is similar to the Soul/Body Form system of Demon's Souls.
