Turn Your Copy Of Dark Souls III Into A Horror Flick With Printable VHS Box Art
Video game companies elicited a lot of groans during our April Fools’ Day fake news round-up, but some of them actually used the prank holiday as an opportunity to promote their games in a smart way. Bandai Namco released a grindhouse-style trailer for Dark Souls III, and now you can make your game case look like the straight-to-VHS shown in the campy ad.
VHS lovers! Download your VHS box art for #DarkSouls3!

You can download and print the VHS box art for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The alternate cover will probably sit nicely next to an old Friday the 13th tape with its fake movie-reviewer quotes and promises of hi-fi stereo sound.
The VHS cover is free to download, but if you want to get the box art on a shirt or movie poster, you’ll have to shell out some cash at Bandai Namco UK’s official store. If you’re craving more gothic horror, you can watch us pass the sticks in our playthrough of From Software’s latest here.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
