Prepare to Die! O prólogo (e a espera) para Dark Souls está quase completo com novo vídeo de 4 minutos.

Dark Souls, o sucessor espiritual do Game of the Year 2009 Demon's Souls e um dos principais lançamentos de 2011, recebeu hoje novo trailer sobre sua história.

Liberado com exclusividade pelo Machinima, confira abaixo em HD o novo trailer que reune as primeiras partes do prólogo já anteriormente lançadas.

Os versos completos são:
 
In the Age of Ancients,
The world was unformed, shrouded by fog
A land of grey crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons

But then there was Fire
And with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course... Light and Dark.

Then, from the Dark, They came
And found the Souls of Lords within the flame.

Nito, the first of the dead
The Witch of Izalith, and her daughters of chaos
Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights
And the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten

With the Strength of Lords, they challenged the dragons.

Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales
The witches weaved great firestorms
Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease

And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the dragons were no more
Thus began the Age of Fire

But soon, the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain

Even now, there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights
And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign.

You are thrust into the world of demons, where those humans with the Dark Ring are sent to succumb and transform into the living dead. Darkness reigns. The one original flame now nests in the core of this world, all but dead. The demons have conquered the immortal dragons and all across their world, lay the decrepit signs of their rule.

If you hope to ever reach the King’s Crowns, you must carefully equip yourself.

The demons who rule this world gain their extraordinary power from the King’s Crowns. To retrieve the King’s Crowns and reach the flame of the world, you will have to face the White King Gwen and his knights, the witch Izarith and her evil daughters, the first dead, Nit, and the immortal and nameless shadow dwarves.
De brinde, vai aí o Total Biscuit jogando a demo E3 (sem lembrar o comando de correr...), que confirmadamente é mais fácil do que a versão final do jogo: o seu personagem é mais forte, os inimigos menos agressivos e numerosos, e os checkpoints muito mais freqüentes.

Dark Souls será lançado em outubro de 2011 exclusivamente para Playstation 3 e XBox 360.

Prepare to die!
