A little age acceleration can’t stop Snake, as it was revealed that Kojima plans on making another smoking simulator/stealth game, but where could the series possibly be heading? Metal Gear Solid 4 tied up all the loose ends in the story and gave the series a very fitting conclusion. So, will MGS5 go back toward the beginning of Snake’s career? It could be that gamers will find out what Snake was doing right before the events of MGS4, or maybe gamers will follow Snake as a punk teenager as he sneaks into the girls’ locker room and steals cigarettes from the local shop.

After a fan petition circulated online, Namco Bandai decided to bring Dark Souls to the PC with additional content. Luckily, the publisher will also be bringing this content to consoles as DLC. The Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition was on display at this year’s E3 and it looks like the content certainly is to die for.

We have footage of one of the new boss battles courtesy of IGN. The boss featured in the video is the called the “Sanctuary Guardian” and it looks like the location of the fight is the Sanctuary Wood (makes sense considering the name). What could this creature possibly be guarding? You might have to wait for the DLC to release in October to find out.
