In a presentation from Namco behind closed doors for Dark Souls II, the Director of Localization revealed several interesting information about the game. This also includes the game’s difficulty.
Players who are worried on the shift of Dark Souls II’s focus in difficulty will be pleased to hear that the sequel will be much harder. Bosses will be as tough, if not harder, than the ones found on the first Dark Souls. It seems the objective of “having a sense of achievement” will be the larger focus of the sequel this time, thus enemies and bosses will somewhat boost their level of difficulty.
More Dark Souls II stuff will be coming later this week. Stay tuned.
