Check out the curse trailer for Dark Souls II. The latest trailer for From Software’s Dark Souls 2 introduces players to more of the game’s harsh, foreboding world, the twisted creatures that inhabit it and a cursed protagonist seeking respite through the consumption of souls.

As is Souls game tradition, Dark Souls 2′s narrative foundation is explained by a raspy voiced woman who speaks of a murky, forgotten and ancient land, the new setting for the sequel. In addition to a peek at more pre-rendered cinematic footage, there’s plenty of gameplay featured in the new trailer.

From monsters familiar to players of the Dark Souls 2 network test to never-before-seen bosses — including what appears to be a dragon infested by giant spiders and a phalanx of undead fused together into a horrible monster — there’s plenty to see and spoil yourself on.

Dark Souls 2 is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 11, with a Windows PC version to follow. For more on the game, read our most recent preview from Tokyo Game Show.
