Dark Souls 3 releases on April 12 in North America and Europe for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. By pre-ordering, you’ll receive the Day One Edition, which includes a Prima Starter Guide, official soundtrack, and exclusive O-sleeve packaging.
Two weeks after Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches on PS4.
