Today,FromSoftwareannounced via Twitter that those who already own the PC version ofDark Souls Prepared to Die Editionwill be able to upgrade toDark Souls Remastered.
On their official Twitter account,FromSoftwareshared great news for Japanese PC users. Those who already own theDark Souls Prepare to Die Edition(orArtorias of the Abyss Editionas it’s known in Japan) of the game, you will be able to upgrade to the upcomingDark Souls Remasteredat a discounted price rather than paying for the retail price.

So farBandai Namco(the publisher internationally) doesn’t have a public page about details for their own discount, but since they retweeted FromSoftware we can assume it’s going to be about the same.
FromSoftware’s press release (as they are the publisher in Japan) announced the discount to be a fantastic 50% off (2150 yen), and thatthey will discontinue the Japanese version ofDark Souls Prepare to Die Editionas of May5th at 8pm JST.
This is good news for PC fans, since many felt the PC graphics upgrade was not significant enough to warrant full price. There are no known discounts for PS3 or Xbox owners since the game is on a completely different platform.
The same announcement contained some information on the PC requirements for the upcoming remaster.
Are you hoping for a similar offer? What are your thoughts on theNintendo Switch delay? If you’re hunting forDark Soulsnews, perhaps you just would like to focus onwhat DKS Remaster is changing.

Ehhh.
How is the Nexus mod community still going for the original Dark Souls?
Too many big-ticket mods, and too much time that it will take to update all of them, for me to be all that particularly interested in going for the upgrade- at least, for now.
I think we all kind of assumed this would happen, but damn I’m glad they actually confirmed it for us.
