Which should cause some sort of sellout chaos, if the fervent nature of both Nintendophiles and hardcore Souls players is anything to go by. We'll be pre-ordering ours for our collection, that's for sure. Oh, and a firm release date has also been announced for the game.

Which will be October 19 this year. Good news for Nintendo Switch owners impatiently staring at their Switch library literally attempting to will it to grow with their minds. And with the addition of a Souls Amiibo in Solaire of Astora, conjecture is rampant that the popular "Warrior of Sunlight" is a shoe-in as a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate playable character.

And we'd like that. A lot.

With tense exploration and fearsome foes, the twisted world of DARK SOULS: REMASTERED is full of trials, extreme battle, diverse weaponry and magic. Players can customise their character to exactly suit their desired gameplay, should it be a heavy armored merciless warrior or a frail but mighty sorcerer. The Nintendo Switch version of DARK SOULS: REMASTERED will allow players to face those challenges head-on everywhere! Switch players will be able to explore Lordran prior to release with the online network test. More information will be available soon.

Dear Chosen Undead, we are pleased to announce that the #NintendoSwitch version of #DarkSouls Remastered will be released on October 19 2018, along with the Solaire of Astora amiibo. Thank you for your kind patience. pic.twitter.com/r7k9EHM0tl
