The Dark Souls 3 release date has been revealed by Bandai Namco

DARK Souls 3's release date has been revealed for PC, Xbox One and PS4 by publishers Bandai Namco.

 

It looks like an earlier rumour that the new title would be launched in April 2016 has proven correct, after the new hit Twitter today via the company's official account.

A brutal trailer showing what fans are in for was also included in the announcement, while the release date sits behind the March 24 launch planned in Japan.

Fans also have the option of signing up to a Network Test of the game which will run from October 16 to 18 on PS4 using this website.

The official announcement reads: "#DarkSouls3 is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in April 2016. Praise the sun."

"Fans eager to get their hands on Dark Souls III can apply for the Network Stress Test Sessions.

"Network Stress Tests is designed to allow elected testers to play the game for various tech verifications and is intended for quality improvement of the final product.

"Slots are limited and users will be randomly selected."

However, we may have been given an accidental glance at the actual date of launch itself.

An Italian game retailer looks to have leaked the information early, revealing that the latest grueling undead adventure could be with us as early as February 2, 2016.

A lot of retails sites use placeholder dates before a game has its launch confirmed, it would however, fit in with the new information supplied by Bandai, today.
