General Gaming Dark Souls III had a cut multiplayer mode called...battle royale

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

There was multiplayer mode for Dark Souls III called, literally, battle royale. That’s according to indie dev and YouTube Lance McDonald, who has recently shifted his datamining and pre-release exploration efforts from Bloodborne to Dark Souls III. And, indeed, this cut mode was present in an alpha version of the game.

I dunno, on paper it sounds great, but thematically, how would that even fit in the Soulsborne lore?

 

Though, imagine seeing something like that.  For Honor would have never succeeded :LUL:

lol 

 

But the only BR I would have cared about and it was killed before it even hit early access.

I mean... Haven't most of these games been a solitary experience outside of invades or coop?

Depending on how you play, not really. If you get into the PvP scene for each game, it's a pretty deep dive of fight clubs, tournaments, and gank squads. There are also dedicated PvP arenas. A battle royale mode really wouldn't have been out of context.
