This new Dark Souls trailer (past the break) closes the previous launch window ever so slightly: to October 2011. In addition to the revelation of a more specific release date is the realization of horrible homicide. Seriously, dude dies in this trailer. Like, a lot.
It's not like we didn't expect as much -- this is the Demon's Soulssuccessor, after all -- but watching this trailer makes us feel all funny inside. It's like falling asleep with Saw on the TV.
