UPDATE: Bandai Namco has confirmed to MCV that the physical release of Dark Souls 2 has been pushed back to May 2, but the digital version remains on track for April 25.
“This is only affecting the UK on the boxed release of the game,” Namco told the site. “It will be delayed unfortunately and we apologise to UK customers. This is due to a manufacturing issue with packaging. To confirm this will only affect the UK boxed launch.”
ORIGINAL REPORT: The PC release of Dark Souls 2 has suffered a one week delay, according to various online retailers.
GameKeysNow.com, which appears to be affiliated with PlayStation Plus informant GamePointsNow, states that it has heard from its “official UK distribution that Dark Souls 2 has been delayed by a week until May 2nd 2014”. The site adds that “no reason has been given for the delay as yet”.
Amazon UK’s pre-order customers have also reportedly been told of the game’s delay, receiving emails notifying them of the new May 2 date. The date has also been amended to May 2 by ShopTo.
Bandai Namco has yet to announce a delay for the PC launch, with the game still officially on track for release next Friday, April 25.
The staff behind Bandai Namco’s twitter channel don’t appear to have been informed of any delay either, tweeting this afternoon that they are “currently looking into [reports of the game’s delay] and will let everyone know what’s happening”.
VideoGamer.com has contacted Bandai Namco for comment.
