So far, Dark Souls 3 feels like a more refined version of what we've come to expect, except this time it seems to come with a heaping dose of series nostalgia. If this isn't your first rodeo, there are plenty of sights that should trigger familiar feelings. I'm enjoying it so far, and if the series is your thing, I think you will too.

It's always a tough call to say what is or isn't spoilers with a Souls game, so for those of you who prefer to know as little as possible, thanks for coming this far, but you should probably turn back now and avoid the video. For everyone else, enjoy the spectacle!

Let's be honest here; at this point, you already know if you're going to be playing Dark Souls 3 or not. Some new video isn't going to convince you one way or another. I mean, really, Bandai Namco should have just said "eff it, use the original recording" in this video instead of their grim dark version. Although I suppose doing so would have gotten them flagged by YouTube for content and the video would have subsequently been pulled down.

Many of the images in this video have previously been seen in other promotional materials for the game. This is the first time, however, that there is some degree of story alongside all of it. What's more, the narration seems to hint at the possible presence of familiar landmarks and environments from previous Souls titles as Lothric is a place where "the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge."
