As far as I can tell, nothing has been really released about DS2. I mean, bugfixes like toggle escapes being fixed and minor animation changes, but not too much really.

There's been a decent amount of info released that gets up some hype.

Dual wielding will be more responsive and will now have actual moves relating to dual wields. There's now thrown weapons (ex. spears, axes, etc. but is tentative from what I hear). You can now move while firing a bow (I assume only some bows though). Huge graphical improvement. The game looks even better now, which gets me really excited because they did an incredible job with the dark fantasy setting and world design, like Anor londo or The Duke's Archives or even Boletaria in Demon's Souls.

And most of all, the game will be even harder.

I think the reason there isn't a lot of hard info on the game is because exploring the game for the first time is a pretty big deal, and they're trying to avoid spoiling anything that the player's wouldn't want spoiled.

DS2. IT'S TIME.

That looks like the kind of cool but wildly impractical move that I will never use in DS.

My shame runs deep
