"This isn't about death," says the latest Dark Souls II trailer. "This is about what you've learned from death." And given how often death comes in Dark Souls, you should expect to learn an awful lot. Lesson #1: Don't stand directly in front of a fire-breathing dragon.

The new Dark Souls II trailer is titled 'Hollow Lullaby' and shows off the world's many perils that fly around every corner, including Hollows and towering dragons. It also encapsulates the series' trial-and-error, never-give-up spirit in a nutshell.

Dark Souls II will arrive on March 11 on PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will follow sometime later, hopefully with Alice hosting a new batch of Dark Souls Nites on Twitch.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
