More than ten minutes of new Dark Souls 3 gameplay footage turned up online this week, following the latest official DS3 live stream, and our latest glimpse of what will undoubtedly be one of 2016’s toughest games gives fans a closer look at the Knight and Cleric classes featured in Dark Souls 3.

The new footage was originally unveiled during an official Dark Souls 3 live stream, originally broadcast on Wednesday afternoon, but (as usual) the internet isn’t waiting for Bandai Namco to make the content available via one of its official YouTube channels. Instead, fans have archived the Dark Souls 3 gameplay demo on a variety of channels, ensuring anyone who missed Wednesday’s live stream can still get caught up on the new Knight and Cleric gameplay footage in a timely fashion.

Updated player classes aren’t the only big draw from this week’s Dark Souls 3 footage, either. Our latest glimpse of Dark Souls 3 includes a look at four different weapon arts (Greatsword, Long Sword, Mace and Scimitar) that will be available to players in DS3. Each weapon class works best against certain types of enemies and each will require players to adopt unique attack patterns and combat strategies.

If you haven’t already, take a few minutes to watch the latest Dark Souls 3 gameplay footage from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware. Then head down to the comments section and let us know what you did/didn’t like in this week’s Knight and Cleric demo.

Dark Souls 3 is being developed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game is currently scheduled to hit North American retailers on April 12.
