Dark Souls 2 Announced At VGA 2012 [Update: Trailer Inside]

December 7, 2012

I know I haven't exactly conquered Dark Souls, but I'm sure I'm not the only one to pussy out before reaching the end. Still, I couldn't help but jump for joy as a knight got the crap beaten out of him during tonight's Spike Video Game Awards. I knew it when I saw it.

Dark Souls II was revealed at tonight's award show with a prerendered trailer showcasing dragons, masked attackers, and a gallant knight who could really take an arrow to the knee… or two.

Here's the trailer for the game that aired during the VGAs. Skip to 2:30 to get right to the trailer.

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism.

Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
