'Dark Souls 3' release date rumors: Japanese copy of the game available for Xbox One users

Game developer From Software has just released the next installment of the "Dark Souls" series in Japan. According to the company, Western countries will get to play the game during its worldwide release next month. However, Xbox One players from other countries have found a way to download the Japanese version of the highly anticipated game today.

Apparently, players found a workaround to make it happen by downloading the game as early as now. According to reports, Xbox One gamers just need to switch the region on their console so that they can purchase the Japanese copy of "Dark Souls 3." Microsoft is said to be looking at this issue right now and it is only a matter of time before the tech giant starts blocking this trick.

According to a report by IGN, Xbox One players will pretend to have been located in Japan and set up a Japanese Xbox One account to buy a "Dark Souls 3" copy. Microsoft suggests that fans should stop the download because it may affect how the system works, which could possibly delay the upcoming release of the game.

Meanwhile, the game's publisher, Bandai Namco, have warned fans that the current version of "Dark Souls 3" is not yet complete. According to them, the game does not have a multiplayer support. Despite the early warning from the company, it appears that fans are still downloading the Japanese copy of the game.

Fortunately for From Software and Bandai Namco, the trick does not work on PlayStation 4. Instructions on how to download the Japanese version on Xbox One appeared to be all over the Internet. There are instructions posted on both YouTube and Reddit. It is really hard to control such glitch unless Microsoft does something about it.

As of the moment, some fans would like to wait for the full game version that is scheduled to be released in April.
