14 DAY TRIAL // The teams at developer From Software and publisher Namco Bandai announce that all those who have bought the Dark Souls 2 Black Armor Edition or the Dark Souls 2 Collector’s Edition are now set to also get access to the new Black Armor Weapons Pack via an included voucher.
The package will contain, according to VG247:
Black Flamestone Dagger and Black Flamestone Parma – A dagger and shield encrusted in Black Flamestone both found in the Gutter at Black Gulch; Yellow Quartz Longsword and Yellow Quartz Shield – A straight sword and small shield hardened with yellow quartz both uncovered at the bottom of the Iron Keep. Bound Hand Axe and Bound Wooden Shield – A brutal hand axe and shield found in the Undead Purgatory. Homunculus Mace and Homunculus Wooden Shield – A mace and shield with spherical protrusions found in Aldia’s Keep. Transgressor’s Staff and Transgressor’s Leather Shield – A staff and leather shield entwined with an unknown and seemingly lackluster element; these items are found in the Dark Chasm of Old.
Dark Souls 2 will be launched in the United States on March 11 and on March 14 in Europe for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
The PC version will be out later in May.
The game is designed to be more accessible than its predecessor, but the team at From Software says that gamers can expect a tough challenge and some interesting new mechanics.
