In earlier news, From Software dropped hints on the difficulty levels of the new title in response to some fans' being worried that it will be very challenging to win. Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki assured gamers via Play UK that despite such expectations, they are working on creating a game "possible to accomplish."
"I want to keep both the possibility of accomplishment and the difficulty itself," said Miyazaki. "I think seasoned players will feel refreshed and enjoy new strategies. And for new players, I want to make it difficult, of course, but accomplishable and enjoyable."
Miyazaki added that players will just have to plan, observe, and learn how to win a battle to accomplish levels and trial and error can be used as an approach. In case the player dies, he can try again and a different strategy should be used next time around.
If the leak is believed to be accurate, Dark Souls 3 will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC on April 12, 2016.
