September 5th UPDATE.
Eurogamer has posted details on how to sign up for the beta of Dark souls II.
"The first wave of Dark Souls 2 beta testing begins on 12th October, publisher Namco Bandai has announced.
A second round will begin on 27th October, meanwhile.
PlayStation 3 owners in Europe, North America and Australasia can sign up to the beta now by downloading a Dark Souls 2 closed beta ticket from the Sony Entertainment Network store.
Alternatively, head to the PlayStation Store on your PS3 and then the Latest Releases tab of the Games section.
Namco previously said the beta would reveal "an entirely new area of the game," suggesting that it won't be the demo playable for press at E3. "Holy-mother-of-god is it punishing," Eurogamer's Jeffrey Matulef reported at the time.
Dark Souls 2 isn't due to launch until March 2014, when it'll surface for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360."
Just click on the first link and redeem the ticket. Or Go on to the PSN Store on your PS3 and download the ticket there!.
You won’t get the standard download notification when completing this process. However, you can check that it has registered correctly via the XMB – Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List.

Kotatsu are reporting that this fall Dark Souls II will be having a closed beta this fall
"If you're desperate for punishment this fall, you're in luck: the folks at Namco Bandai have just announced that a closed beta for Dark Souls II will launch in October for the PlayStation 3.
To access the beta, which begins October 5, you'll have to check the Dark Souls Facebook page over the next month or so. That itself is a form of punishment worthy of the Dark Souls name."
This is really interesting since i am pretty sure Demon souls and Dark souls did not have a beta. Maybe this beta will have a consensus to see if players are struggling or finding it easy at certain parts of the game.
Oh, interesting. Namco Bandai is going to have a private beta for Dark Souls II later this year. PS3 only.

Do you think this kind of ruins the mystery of Dark Souls II if people were to participate in a closed beta?
