Dark Souls 2 is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next year in an enhanced version of the game called Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, Namco Bandai and From Software announced today. The re-release of Dark Souls 2 will come with the game's three downloadable add-ons and new enhancements as you would expect for a HD remake.
The new-gen versions of Dark Souls 2 will feature updated graphics as well as new game content, including "an expanded story featuring additional in-game events and NPC character along with new deadlier enemies and gameplay improvements." Those improvements will also be available for the PC release of Scholar of the First Sin, which takes advantage of DirectX 11 for Windows.
Dark Souls 2's new game content, augmented item descriptions and gameplay improvements, which From Software is calling version 1.1.0 of the title, are also coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the DirectX 9 version of the Windows PC game. Players of those versions will get the 1.1.0 update free of charge. The updated version will also be available as a new package for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, incase you haven't jumped to new-gen yet.
Check out the announcement trailer below, which shows a glimpse at some of the improved gameplay mechanics including up to six players now for multiplayer shenanigans. Scholar of the First Sin will be released on April 3rd, 2015.
