This evening, IGN had planned to live stream Dark Souls 2 during its network test, but Namco Bandai America announced, after some technical difficulties, that North and South American players would not be able to log into the servers. The news came in real-time by way of the company's official Twitter account.

"We thoroughly apologize for all of the confusion and issues. We will be rescheduling the Network Test for another date."
