Dark Souls II (ダークソウルツー Dāku Souru Tsū?) is an upcoming action role-playing open world video game, being developed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows by From Software in Japan. Dark Souls II is a sequel to Dark Souls.

Dark Souls II was announced at Spike Video Game Awards on December 7, 2012.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, who served as director on Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, will not return as director for Dark Souls II. Instead he will act as a supervisor and the game will be directed by Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura. Miyazaki stated there will be no direct connection in the story between Dark Souls and Dark Souls II. The game will also feature dedicated multiplayer servers.

Dark Souls II will feature gameplay mechanics similar to its predecesor; co-director Tomohiro Shibuya has stated that he has no intentions of changing the controls. Covenants, a feature in Dark Souls that allowed the player to align with different factions, are making a reappearance, though they will be easier to understand and more accessible to the player. The game world is going to be roughly twice the size of Dark Souls with the beginning of the game made more accessible to newcomers of the series. The director Yui Tanimura also confirmed that the game will retain the challenging gameplay known to the series, "We do not plan on having an Easy Mode since we are creating this game with a thought that challenge and difficulty are core elements of the game."

While Dark Souls II is a direct sequel to Dark Souls, the plot and setting will not take place in, nor directly interact with, the kingdom of Lordran. The story will revolve around a cursed character trying to find a cure for his affliction.
