Sony and Namco Bandai have confirmed that they'll allow all PAL PlayStation Plus subscribers access into the Dark Souls 2 beta on Sunday, October 27, for a limited time.

Dark Souls 2 is set to debut in March of 2014, but developer From Software is currently organizing a special online beta for its challenging role-playing game on the PlayStation 3 platform.

After allowing some lucky fans access into the test stage, the beta is set to be opened up to all PlayStation Plus subscribers in PAL regions (like Europe, Australia, the Middle East).

Members are now able to actually download the beta and they can start playing on Sunday, October 27, between 7am and 10am GMT, according to the PS blog.

The test aims to see just how the online servers will handle the rush of players, so expect some problems.
