Here is something for those who are in the UK at the right time, like Dark Souls and spicy food, all at the same time.

ASHES TO ASHES... WINGS TO WINGS...

Are you ready to embrace the fiery flavours of the deepest darkest chicken wing challenge yet? Well, prepare to sacrifice your soul to the Food Gods in the sky with the Dark Souls Wings Challenge this April. WARNING: they're HOT.

MEATliquor and Bandai Namco Entertainment UK and Sony Computer Entertainment UK have teamed up to create the Dark Souls Wings Challenge. Bringing a true sensory assault to your taste buds, the UK public will be challenged to eat twenty wings in the fastest time possible under extreme pressure.

From 4th April to 29th April, any brave challenger can visit a MEATliquor restaurant* to enter the Dark Souls Wings Challenge. Simply buy your wings and focus your mind on the eternal flame!

Those brave enough to take on the challenge will feel the heat, as a portion of the twenty wings are smothered in a quarter of a litre of chilli sauce; MEATliquor's darkest chilli sauce specially created for this challenge. The chef preparing the wings for hardy challengers is required to wear protective gloves, a mask and goggles to protect from the intensity of heat, as the wings pack a punch.

Although full of flavour, the heat is so intense that participants are required to sign a waiver before competing in the contest and must too wear protective gloves throughout the challenge.

Anyone able to complete the challenge will be rewarded with an exclusive 'I SURVIVED' the Dark Souls Wings Challenge T-Shirt and every victorious completer will be included in the Hall of Souls leaderboard for each restaurant.

The winner with the fastest time from each restaurant will receive a PlayStation®4 with the Dark Souls Collector's Edition, while the Soul survivor with the fastest time in the country will also receive a very limited Prestige Edition, which includes a colossal 40cm Lord of Cinder Figurine.

"We're very excited to be partnering with such an exciting food group as MEATliquor, whose famous food, individual approach and adventurous challenges have clearly captured the interest of food enthusiasts all across the UK" said Lee Kirton, PR & Marketing Director of Bandai Namco Entertainment UK. "Dark Souls III challenges players to overcome the odds - and we hope everyone will also enjoy the challenge of overcoming these incredibly hot wings".

"Video games & hot wings are two of my favourite things in life; the MEATliquor #DarkSoulsWings Challenge combines both. Come to MEATliquor and test your mettle". Yianni Papoutsis, Co-Founder & Creative Director of MEATliquor

Can you take on the challenge and achieve victory over the competition?

IMO the pointing to this thing (?) is a top notch move.

It perfectly correlates to the rumor some sites brought - that Sony is planning to release Playstation 4.5 soon, an upgraded PS4 capable of 4K resolution.

While I don't see how 4K can ever be more important than getting 60 fps and current distance draw limitations on garbageware, seems Sony shares the same thoughts of the audience's wishes with authors of some certain game I've seen some pics from and those looked like deliberately designed to hide the draw distance problems (just like in praised Bloodborne where everything is so dark the problem just can't be seen even with a pair of glasses).

Chicken? They should have put up sheep instead.

Depends what you mean by first. No that common around the west, but in Asia…

For example, China has McDonalds themed as World of Warcraft for the latest expansion, but they have a full WoW restaurant open since 2008. Tokyo has the Eorzea Café (FFXIV themed) too.

thanks. Those are actually pretty cool! For the Final Fantasy-themed one, I wonder how much dialogue you have to click through to get your order? :D

MeatLiquor is a remarkably unappealing combination of words. Sounds like something for Klingons.

That "Meatliquor is indeed quite a disgusting name for a restaurant. I will never understand why people desire to eat food like that. Chicken wings can be delicious, but when put so much hot chili in them, you have ruined the dish.

Neither console is VR ready. Sony VR will have extra processing hardware inside a box you plug in to your normal PS4. It's not about doing "4k" on a monitor, it's about doing 1512x1680 for each eye and keeping the framerate above the refresh rate. (at least 60Hz) :)
