One of the big announcements from this year's E3 event was From Software's Dark Souls 3. The developers stated that the game would be released around early 2016 at the time, but now we have a more definitive timeline for its arrival. While an exact date is not confirmed by From Software, the developers have given anxiously awaiting gamers at least a month to diarise.

For those residing in Japan, Dark Souls 3 will arrive on 24 March 2016, but those in the United States and Europe will have to wait a short while longer until April 2016 to begin their sadomasochistic gaming. Although South Africa's expected release was not detailed, we normally fall in line with our European counterparts, so Dark Souls 3 could be a great way to spend the Easter weekend.

Dark Souls 3 will be arriving on PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC, but until its official release, click on the Gamescom 2015 trailer below.
