FromSoftware's sequel to one of the most difficult role-playing games of all time, Dark Souls 2, is currently in beta for the PlayStation 3. While it's not yet available in the United States and elsewhere, a few select gamers in Japan have gotten their hands on the game to play with it on their PS3s.
