Based on early reports and experience at a preview event, it seemed that Dark Souls 3 would be locked at 30FPS. But now, official word says otherwise.
The official Dark Souls Twitter posted this just a little bit ago:
Forget what you've heard. #DarkSouls3 will run at 60 FPS on PC! https://t.co/h8O21GTxR8

To which I say: Thank you for implementing an industry-standard feature. Those early reports were odd, given that Dark Souls 2 even ran at 60, but here we are, crisis averted. Go about your day.
Dark Souls 3 is due out April 12.
