We have new spoiler images for what could be content for upcoming open world action RPG, Dark Souls 2.
As you can plainly see, the first pic spoils a double bladed sword, held one handed while the other holds a shield. It’s not fully clear how the sword will control in the game, but it would seem to open up new strategic possibilities.
The other is allegedly the weapon menu screen. It shows off an even wider variety of crazy weapons, including poleaxes, spears, scythes, and whips.
A fan speculates, based on the picture, that weapons scale with your damage stats instead of your character stats. Other fans point out in this thread that From Software tries to implement a certain degree of realism in the game, compared to, say, Monster Hunter, so the physics and gameplay for spears and lances will be different.
If these screenshots turn out to be legit, there will be a lot more variety on offer for players than what they have shown us so far. And with more weapons comes more matchups, more complexity, and just more game.
Dark Souls 2 is coming to Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this coming March 11.
