An Exclusive Quick Look At Dark Souls III's Academy Assassin In Action
Dark Souls III is on the cover of Game Informer's October issue, so that means we've got a month of extra Dark Souls action coming your way. Today is a brief look at the starter class template, the Academy Assassin, complete with an tri-cornered hat that looks like it's straight out of From Software's Bloodborne.
The Academy Assassin, like the previously announced Northern Warrior or Wandering Knight, is a template class players can start out with in Dark Souls III. This video shows off the masked Academy Assassin facing off against a knight with a spear, small buckler, and a handful of impressive Soul spells. Dan Tack and I introduce the short gameplay clip and offer some context during the video below.
Dark Souls III is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC April 2016. For more details on Dark Souls III's magic system, check out our hands-on impressions.
