Dark Souls

THE BUZZ: Well folks, the rumors are true—Dark Souls is coming to PCs everywhere, and it’s bringing some new content with it.

EGM’s TAKE: Oh From Software—why can’t I quite you and your wonderful Dark Souls? Other fans couldn’t quit as well, and the game’s popularity has only risen since Dark Souls was released. There’s been one segment of gamers who felt left out of that fun, however—PC gamers. They wanted the chance to play and die (over and over and over), so they asked Namco Bandai and From Software to bring the game to the PC.

Well, they listened.

For now, only a few details. The release will be called Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, will hit on August 24th, and will be a Games For Windows Live release.

Want new content? Here’s what you’ll have to look forward to (the following information comes from the official Dark Souls website):

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will include an untold chapter in the world of Lordran where the player must stop the spread of darkness at all costs by facing and defeating the Dark Knight Artorias.

New Bosses – Including Artorias of Abyss, Chimera of Tomb, and more
PVP Online Matchmaking System – Quick matching for co-op or PVP
New Areas – Including Oolacile Tomb, Old Ruins and more
New Enemies – Including Abyss Guard, Chained Prisoner and more
New NPCs – Including Hawkeye Gough and more
New Weapons and Armor – Equip some from the new bosses, enemies, and NPCs
