Dark Souls III closes the trilogy in the dying kingdom of Lothric. As the Ashen One, you must find the Lords of Cinder, the heroes who once linked the First Flame, and return them to their thrones as the world sinks into darkness.
Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and released in 2016, it took cues from Bloodborne’s faster pace while keeping the shields, builds and interconnected levels of Dark Souls. Two DLCs, Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City, complete the story.
