Dark Souls is a dark fantasy action-RPG developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360 by FromSoftware. It is the spiritual successor to one of the company’s previous titles, Demon’s Souls. The game’s working title was “Project Dark”.
FromSoftware self-published the game’s Playstation 3 version in Japan, where it was released September 22, 2011. The Xbox 360 version will not be released there. Namco Bandai is the publisher for both versions of the game in Western territories. They released the game in North America October 4, 2011, and in Europe October 7, 2011. The Asian version of the game with English voice-acting and English and traditional Chinese subtitles was released on October 19th, 2011.

Dark Souls director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has said that the primary “concepts behind Dark Souls are ‘sense of achievement’ and ‘surprise of discovery’ with difficulty merely being a means to these ends. Players who excise patience and critical-thinking are rewarded. Dark Souls intentionally does not conform to many established game design conventions, such as maps and designated objectives, contributing to the game’s divisive reputation.
