New screenshots for Dark Souls 3 have been released

Two of the pictures showcase a brand new halberd-wielding boss known only as the Ludex Gundyr.

Another shot shows these creatures being attacked with fire
They also reveal that this brutal opponent is able to either summon or transform himself into a terrifying creature of some sort, and will be encountered when the player is revived in the Untended Graves as an 'Unkindled'.
Another screenshot shows a pyromancer in a cathedral shooting flames at ghoulish creatures which crawl on their bellies, although another appears to be climbing down a wall.
The Ludex Gundyr looks like a formidable foe
Earlier in the month, Bandai Namco revealed that the demand for Dark Souls 3 is so high that the Prestige Edition is already sold out, with the PS4 version clearing its stock in under two hours.
As well as a copy of the game, the Prestige Edition all features an official soundtrack CD, three iron-on patches, a cloth game map, a hardcover art book, a 25cm Red Knight figurine and a 40cm Lord of Cinder figurine.
