Dark Souls II World Size Is The Same of Predecessor

Yui Tanimura, co-director of Dark Souls II, revealed during an interview with EDGE that Dark Souls 2‘s world would be the same size as the original Dark Souls, but will give players more freedom in how to progress.

We are thinking about the same size world as Dark Souls. The storytelling will be fairly similar, but in regards to proceeding through the world, we want to give more freedom for the players to choose their decisions, and so the unfolding of the world will hopefully be unique to each player.

 

Size isn’t everything, and From Software knows that. In fact, Dark Souls and Demon Souls didn’t have massive worlds, but still offered many secrets for those who were brave enough to leave the beaten path.

Dark Souls 2 will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on March 11th for the US, 14th for Japan and 15th for Europe.
