Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, and enhanced version of the original Xbox 360 and PS3 RPG, is set to arrive on PC on August 24. According to publisher Namco Bandai, the game is being “finely-tuned to cater to the PC gaming audience while retaining all of the deep challenge, rich atmosphere, and compelling gameplay that made the game a worldwide phenomenon”.
New to the Prepare to Die Edition is an untold chapter in the world of Lordran, created by From Software to help expand the lore of the game. ‘Artorias of the Abyss’ will include all-new areas to explore, and adds new enemies and bosses to take down.
PC gamers will also experience an enhanced PVP mode, which Namco Bandai claims will allow players to “more closely assemble battles against one another online in an all-out fight to the death”.
“Our fans demanded to see this game brought to the PC, and the noise they have made was simply too loud and too passionate to ignore,” said Daisuke Uchiyama, producer for Dark Souls at Namco Bandai. “This also allowed us to dive back into the world of Dark Souls, offering a special edition of the game that offers more ways to die over and over again than ever before. Adding a whole new chapter to tell the tale of the Dark Knight Artorias was an opportunity we’re also proud to have taken, as we’ve managed to expand the experience for our biggest fans without compromising the balance of the core game that we worked so hard to create. This edition of the game is our gift to the fans.”
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be available on the PC in Europe and Australasia on August 24.
