While FROM Software and Namco Bandai Games are set to frustrate console gamers with Dark Souls II in around a weeks time, PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer with both companies confirming an April 25th release date on the platform through retail release and Steam.
This wait won’t come without its apparent benefits, with Adventures reportedly to have increased texture resolutions and enhanced frame rate options. On top of that, FromSoftware have been working to perfectly adapt the game for a mouse & keyboard combo… although from experience I would still highly suggest getting a gamepad.
As for console, and while supplies last, fans pre-ordering the game will receive the Black Armour Edition – containing an Exclusive Metal Case, the Original Game Soundtrack and an early access to the Black Armour Weapon Set OR if pre-ordered on Steam fans will get bonuses – digital soundtrack and the early access to the Black Armour Weapon Set, the Official Dark Souls II Artbook in PDF format and the complete Dark Souls II Digital Comic Book as digital extras.

We’re conscious of the high expectations from PC gamers and are working with FROMSOFTWARE in ensuring that the PC version of Dark Souls II offers the best experience possible. After an amazing first opus, DARK SOULS II promises an even more engaging, richer and challenging adventure that should please all gamers, regardless of their platform of choice.
