Following the launch of Dark Souls 3 last Tuesday, Bandai Namco Entertainment America announced today that it broke records “for the most successful day-one launch and fastest selling title” in their history.
In the new Kingdom Fall trailer today, Bandai Namco gives us a look at more gameplay, while also featuring a few quotes of critical praise, including the fact that it won Most Anticipated 2016 game in the PlayStation Blog’s user-voted awards. The song played during the trailer is Kingdom Fall by Claire Wyndham.
In our review of Dark Souls 3, we said, “From Software knows how to make challenging games that reward those who invest the time needed to properly engage enemies, and Dark Souls 3 continues in that tradition.”
