The technical wizards at Silicon Studio have announced that From Software will be taking advantage of their YEBIS 2 middleware in the upcoming Dark Souls III.

YEBIS 2 is a commonly used piece of middleware that enhances little graphical touches like particle effects, glare, depth of field, blur and all other sorts of things that sell the realism of modern graphics. From Software previously used YEBIS 2 for their incredible PS4 exclusive, Bloodborne.

Have a look at the subtle beauty of YEBIS in these screenshots:

Dark Souls III will release in Japan on March 24, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Western and PC release dates have not been provided.
