The Souls series has always done its own thing. From Software thinks exclusively outside the box, eschewing the hand-holdy nature of modern video game design and the way they’re marketed to bring us games that are strange and innovative, punishing and deeply rewarding. The trailers have been particularly memorable for their striking visuals and a brief look at some of the harrowing boss encounters we’ll soon conquer — after a couple dozen tries — because we don’t know any better.
We’re hooked. Addicts looking for that sweet satisfaction that only a new Souls can provide.
This animated trailer for Dark Souls III has the ingredients we’d expect from a Souls trailer, only they’ve been prepared by director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel), because why not?
