The Windows PC version will include higher resolution textures than its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 counterparts, "an enhanced frame rate option" as well as controller and mouse and keyboard support.

Dark Souls 2 is headed to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next Tuesday, March 11. It will arrive on consoles in Australia and Europe March 14.

When the original Dark Souls Windows PC version launched in 2012, it was limited to 30 frames per second and a resolution of 1024 x 720. Since then, modders stepped into increase the resolution and frame rate. Be sure to read our interview with Peter Thoman, a PhD student who brought a 60 fps mod to the original.
