New details about Dark Souls 2 have been revealed ahead of the game’s release.

Namco Bandai and From Software’s Dark Souls 2 has seen a raft of new information released over the weekend, with many new previews of the game being published over that period of time. 

Each of these previews contained details about the game that we already know (so we won’t be going over that here), as well as fresh snippets of new information including, among other things, the ability to respec skills, and the ability to warp to every bonfire you light in the game.
