Registration Now Open For Dark Souls III Stress Testing On PS4

Good news for Dark Souls fans! Even though Dark Souls III only launches next year, you may have a chance to play it next month. Bandai Namco announced that they are planning three stress test sessions from the 16th to the 18th of October. The game will be available to play for three hours on each day, from 18:00 till 21:00 GMT, to the lucky chosen few.

If you do happen to get in, you'll be helping them test a variety of things, including the game's general balance, the multiplayer features, and how well the servers hold up with a large number of simultaneous players.

Applying does not guarantee access, and testers will be randomly selected once the registration closes. To sign up for your chance to play Dark Souls III early, head over to DarkSouls3.com before 4th October, 15:00 GMT.
