Is This Confirmation That Dark Souls Is Coming To PC?

THE BUZZ: It’s one single printed page that’s nothing but a black background and two words of red text—yet it could very well be confirmation that Dark Souls is coming to PC.

EGM’s TAKE: Yesterday evening, the following photo was posted on the internet by Nathan Cocks, a writer for Australian PC gaming magazine PCPowerPlay.

To some, this will simply be a strange page of a magazine seemingly proposing that the reader is now dead. To others of us, of course, the connection is instantly recognizable: That statement—and its text styling and color—come directly from Dark Souls.

So, one of two things have happened here: Either PCPowerPlay is going to be unveiling the PC version of Dark Souls in their upcoming issue, or Nathan is attempting to troll the hell out of the internet.

Of course, this photo combined with the story I wrote yesterday about Namco Bandai teasing a Dark Souls-related announcement pretty much seals the deal. Now, on to the next question: Steam, or no?
