‘Dark Souls’ RPG Cover Reveal & First Look at New Game
Steamforged Games give us all a first look at the Dark Souls RPG cover with a stunning reveal. Check it out.
Well, the Hollowed is out of the Anor Londo, so to speak. Steamforged Games revealed today a look at the upcoming Dark Souls RPG.
In this Dark Souls RPG cover reveal, we not only get a look at the book, but an idea of the release date. Spring 2022 can’t come soon enough for Dark Souls fans.
Now, how the game will work is still up in the air. Steamforged Games is working with Richard August, who previously worked on the Dune RPG and John Carter of Mars and Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of. So there’s some precedent for the adaptation here.
But what really piqued our interest is the promise of “a new magic system.” Here’s a look at Steamforged Game’s press release for the Dark Souls RPG cover reveal.
Dark Souls RPG Cover Reveal And First Look
“First teased in December with a surprise trailer premiere, Steamforged can now confirm DARK SOULS™: The Roleplaying Game will be a standalone RPG powered by fifth-edition rules enriched with unique DARK SOULS™ mechanics.
Drawing on the rich lore and award-winning gameplay of the DARK SOULS™ video games by From Software and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., DARK SOULS™: The Roleplaying Game — designed and published by Steamforged Games — will feature everything players need for exciting and challenging campaigns set in the sinister universe.
Inside the lavishly illustrated, hardback core book, players will find bespoke character classes, a brand-new magic system, and a full bestiary teeming with DARK SOULS™ creatures. Together, roleplayers can brave the crumbling landscape of Lothric and the myriad locations within, encountering familiar faces along the way.”
I don’t know what “encountering familiar faces means.” Outside of maybe running into Sigmund, the Onion Knight. Or any of the other Dark Souls staple characters as NPCs.
But the book also promises “bespoke classes” and “a new magic system.” We’ll have to wait to see what those are, exactly. But in the meantime, color me excited to see what the game looks like.
