Yesterday, publisher Bandai Namco US and developer FromSoftware made a massive announcement regarding one of influential video games to date.
“From their first timid steps to absolute mastery, players will build their characters by strategically adapting to daunting foes, exploring haunting locations and amassing a large collection of weapons, armour and magic spells to utilise for a truly unique playstyle.”
Yep, you’re not daydreaming. The original Dark Souls is getting a total remaster treatment arriving to PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC this May.
The PS4, Xbox One and PC ports will be managed by a separate company according to Bandai which will borrow lighting and special effects from Dark Souls 3.
The remastered edition will include the Artorias of the Abyss expansion and improved visual enhancements. Bandai and FromSoftware are upping the PvP and co-op modes to six players, which means you can share the agony of dying or not completing a mission with your friends.
Bandai Namco has also released the framerate of which Dark Souls will be running on Xbox One and PC:
- PC: native 4K, all textures 2K unconverted, 60 fps
- Xbox One: 1080p, 60fps
- Xbox One X: upscaling 4K and 60fps
Yes, Bandai also revealed 4K enhancements for the Xbox One X although, at this early stage, we have yet to know of more additional technical enhancements and features.
