There was a torrent of seemingly legitimate Dark Souls 3 details leaked last week, but that image above – obtained by IGN – is probably the strongest hint yet that we'll see a new instalment soon. What's more, 'soon' will apparently be early next year.
I'm not sure where IGN got the image from, but 2016 seems like a very quick turnaround for a third instalment. From Software has already released PS4-exclusive Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin in the first half of 2015. Still, Dark Souls 2 was delayed from its initial 2013 release window, and it's not unwise for a studio to pump out software while the going is good. The going is very good for the Souls series at present.
Earlier rumours appeared to call into question whether the game would hit PC at all, but it's more likely the release window will be slightly different. Dark Souls – and to a lesser degree Dark Souls 2 – both released late on PC. Better late than never.
If it's legitimate, we're likely to hear more next week at E3.
