On the Playstation EU blog, it was announced that the Dark Souls II Beta will be available to all PS+ members in Europe this Sunday, the 27th October.

From Software’s latest 3rd-person action RPG which is noted for its difficulty is the sequel to 2011’s Dark Souls, which took players into the grim fantasy setting of Lordran and became a punishing and unforgettable experience.

The Beta for the sequel was previously only available to a select few, but now the beta’s going live for all PS+ members. However there is a catch, the beta will only be available for three hours.

The official times for the Beta are as follows:

Sunday 27th October

7:00am to 10:00am GMT

You can pre-load the beta now if you are a PS+ member, under the Exclsuives section. Once downloaded you’ll be ready to die several times in the game due to the cold, unforgiving world.

What do you think? Is this a good deal for PS+ members? should the Beta access be for a longer time? Let us know in the comments below.
