However, all but one Lord abandon their thrones rather than linking the fire again. The bell is the last hope for the Age of Fire, raising previous Lords of Cinder, heroes who have linked the flame across eons to attempt to link the fire again. However, Prince Lothric (the person chosen to link the fire this time) has abandoned his duty and instead decides to watch the flame die from afar. The Age of Fire can be prolonged with the linking of the fires, a ritual in which great lords and heroes sacrifice their souls to kindle the First Flame. As has happened many times before, the coming of the Age of Dark produces the undead, cursed beings that rise after death. Set in the Kingdom of Lothric, a bell has rung to signal that the First Flame, responsible for prolonging the Age of Fire, is dying out. The final game in the series, Dark Souls III, was released in March of 2016. As in the earlier games in the series, it again features challenging gameplay, but with a more powerful graphics engine and more advanced AI system. Taking place in the Kingdom of Drangleic, the game features both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) play, in addition to having some co-op components.

Players assume the role of a cursed undead character who begins a pilgrimage out of the Undead Asylum to discover the fate of the Undead.ĭark Souls II was released in March of 2014.
