Hardcore gamers are in for a treat, as Dark Souls: Remastered is now open for pre-orders via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Games Store. This revised version will be officially available on May 25 via PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

New Dark Souls: Remastered trailer:
Steam owners were not left in the dark, either. The company announced that players who own Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition are entitled to a 50 percent discount toward their purchase of Remastered on PC.
The discount is an effort to remove said edition from sale on May 8 in preparation for Remastered later that month. However, those who already own this older version can still obtain it from their Steam library at any time in the future.
Dark Souls: Remastered brings refined gameplay, updated visuals, and tons of multiplayer-focused features. For example:
- Proper button configuration
- Password-enabled matchmaking
- Support for 4K resolution at 60fps on PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and PC
- Native 1080p resolution at 60fps on core PS4 and Xbox One consoles
- Up to six online players (compared to four in the original version)
- Global matchmaking tweaks
- Randomized respawn points
- New, dedicated online servers
- Players can now select the number of usable items
- Ability to switch covenants at Bonfires
Dark Souls: Remastered is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 25, with a Nintendo Switch version sometime this summer.
