At the end of this week, Dark Souls Remastered will launch after a fair bit of hype, and some delays. Ahead of that release, there’s a new trailer to get gamers excited for the release.
Part of what made fans fall so hard was the environment design, and that got a major facelift with this new version. The vistas and crevices of Anor Londo have never looked better than they do right now. But the improvements to performance are sure to make a huge difference for players both new and old. The framerate has been massively improved across the board, and it shows. Those frame-perfect dodges are now much easier to execute.
All in all, this upgrade is a welcome change for diehard fans, and a path of slightly easier access for new players. And if that recommendation didn’t hype you up, maybe the newest gameplay trailer will, check it out below.
Assuming you already own the original, Bandai Namco offered a 50% loyalty discount on the Prepare to Die Edition and had been purchased before 9 May.

- New Bosses – Including Black Dragon, Sanctuary Guardian, Artorias of the Abyss.
