Are you a fan of dodging, rolling, using souls as currency, and running around a decaying fantasy land with an unrealistically large sword while simple skeletons kill you like it's their job?

To get us all in the mood for some upscaled and fancy-looking Dark Souls, the game's publisher Bandai Namco released this short but cool trailer:
