Dark Souls 2 coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015

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.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dark Souls 2 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 PS3, 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 Scholar of the First Sin re-release will also be available for PS3 and Xbox 360.

For a look at Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, check out the announcement trailer above and a few screenshots of the game in the gallery below. You'll get a glimpse at the increased multiplayer character count — which is coming to the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions — in a shot that shows six players battling each other.

Scholar of the First Sin will be released on April 7, 2015.
