Dark Souls 2 'more approachable' - Series creator steps asideDark Souls 2 will be "more straightforward and more understandable" than its predecessor
That's according to the latest issue of Edge - on sale December 20 - which reveals the just-announced sequel will be the first in the Souls series not to be helmed by creator from Hidetaka Miyazaki
"Their descriptions of how they intend to mould Dark Souls II into a more approachable form seem reasonable,"
"We sympathise if that sort of statement concerns you, but at the same time, we can surely agree that we would all like to see Dark Souls attain as great a presence as The Elder Scrolls. How it gets there is a worthy matter for debate, but it's certainly a noble task."
Dark Souls 2 is in development for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The sequel will feature a revamped server based multiplayer experience "that will put a distinct Dark Souls II twist on the concept of playing and sharing with others," it says.
