About

Dark Souls II (2014) takes the series to Drangleic, a kingdom where the cursed Undead come seeking a cure. FromSoftware widened the world, with more paths to choose and more ways to build a character.

It’s the most sprawling of the trilogy, with a huge roster of bosses and an online covenant system that gave players many reasons to invade, help or hunt each other.
