Dark Souls Remastered originally released on May 25 on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. The title received some visual enhancements alongside a resolution bump and a more stable framerate. In our review, Dan Tack called it an “incredible experience” and praised the framerate changes, making areas like Blighttown finally “playable” on console, and on PC without a third party fix.
Ready your blade. #DarkSoulsRemastered strikes #NintendoSwitch on 19/10. @DarkSoulsGame
