I really don't. I'm going to have to look up how to access the DLC one of these days.
 
LOL holy crap this is hilarious.

haha yep what are the odds that Nelson would tweet to something with PC in the handle with just a smily face, just so happened to look like a hype account with what it said, had what looked like a teaser image as its header, and that only followed Nelson / Xbox.

It was like a perfect storm of coincidences lol.

That's what they want you to think, then they'll drop the megaton that they bought From Software.

It's still curious though... I'm not convinced this is just some random person's Twitter account.
 
I still don't understand how any of this warranted "major new game announcement"

Um easily?

1. MS has a huge Windows 10 event on January 21st. Xbox is supposed to make a big appearance including Phil Spencer being there and the Windows team wearing shirts that say Xbox on them.
2. This account look straight up like a hype account.
3. Major Nelson tweeted a smiley face at the account.
4. The account only followed Nelson / Xbox
5. The banner image looked like teaser art.

Its not really that hard to figure out how we got here.

Demon's Souls 2.

From this point on:
Dark Souls - Multiplat franchise
Bloodborne - Sony exclusive franchise
Demon's Souls - Microsoft exclusive franchise

People like to get hyped for things.

Sony own Demon Souls so... not likely :p

Edit: Damn you people for not posting more

If it isn't the sequel to Skyrim they fail the hype game as usual but I am guessing another Major Nelson classic fuck up
 
Read my post above. Basically a typo from Nelson that went to an account that looked exactly like a hype account. Its pretty incredible the odds of something like that happening but it looks like it did.

Major replied to @pcedfeldt

The mistake account is called @pcedf

@pcedfeldt

The mistake account follows only 2 people. Major Nelson and Xbox.

The mistake account only has 1 tweet and it was made 1 hour ago.
The account was most likely made today.

In conclusion, today Major Nelson accidentally tweeted to someone who has the same first 5 letters of who he intended. This person also made their account today and happens to only follow Major Nelson and Xbox.

An account made today would be the perfect way to tease something. Its not really all that complicated.......
