The official Dark Souls II Japanese website has been given something of a facelift, containing all new screenshots and some details about the game.
It’s difficult to parse as the site’s text is in image form and therefore impossible to feed into a machine translator. Text information aside, the website has a host of new images that depict a variety of non-player characters (NPCs) in the game, as well as elements of gameplay—details, which we presumably already know.
In addition to NPCs, there appears to be new information about the game’s online multiplayer features, including details about the Covenants that make up the groups that players can join.
We'll update this page with information as more details become available.
