Report: Dark Souls III Promotional Image Surfaces
The evidence that Dark Souls III is happening continues to mount. The latest piece of the puzzle is a promotional image bearing a release window of "early 2016."
IGN reported the image, indicating that was able to verify its authenticity, labeling it as "official." An identical image (above) and another with the logo and company credits (below) were provided to Game Informer, though we are unable to secure additional confirmation of the release window or that the image is legitimate and not a fan creation.
This information follows a report from VG 24/7 early last week and screenshots that were carried by The Know. Namco Bandai indicated that it does not comment on rumors or speculation, so we'll have to sit tight and see what E3 brings.

Our Take
With three outlets reporting three different pieces of information (two of them of the visual variety), it's looking more and more likely. Hope burns brighter for Souls fans, and I owe a personal apology to The Know for being overly aggressive and dismissive while urging caution about the rumors during previous coverage.
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.
