Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

From Software has released a pure gameplay video showing off some of the new enemy placements in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin on the new-gen systems.
The video was taken from The Forest of Fallen Giants at the beginning of the game, and already you can see things are going to be much different – a hippo makes this area much harder. The interior location has also been populated with skeletons.
For more on Scholar of the First Sin, here are some screens for the game as well as what's in an included update. Also be sure to check out this episode of Grind Time featuring the Dark Souls series.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin comes out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 7.
