The Witcher 3 may just have won the Game of the Year 2015 Award, but there’s another dark fantasy RPG which could be taking home that crown next year. Dark Souls III will launch for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on April 12, 2016.

As is the custom with most major releases these days, there will be a Limited Collector’s Edition in addition to a Day One Edition. The Collector’s Edition includes a soundtrack, cloth map, art box, and a 10-inch knight statue. The Day One Edition will include the soundtrack and a guide book.

There’s also a Prestige Edition, so far only confirmed for Europe, which will include most of the content of the Collector’s Edition, but it will replace the knight statue with a hand-painted statue of the Lord of Cinder.

Dark Souls 3 will return to the insanely difficult RPG gameplay that the series has made us accustomed to, where everything that moves tries its best to kill you.
