The aptly named ‘Prepare To Die’ edition of the game will be hitting PC platform consoles later this year.
Everything about the game will be exactly the same as the immersive console release released last October, except with the addition of two new bosses which aim to test players rigorously in all corners of the spherical globe.
Mark Souls, lead game designer at developer From Software said, “It’s been great since the game came out. We’ve had people offering great gifts from afar, like these German sweets called Harribo but with this new personal computer release, I wanted to make it more ‘soulsier’ on a platform that has the word ‘personal’ right in the title. Do you get what I mean?”
After gamers clamoured unrelentingly in their hundred and thousand (singular) in a petition to get the game to PC, Namco Bandai listened and basked in the ambience of the cries before actually announcing the game.
Steve Backbreaker said, “It’s just something we had to do. We could do it and then we were allowed to do it. There was nothing stopping us from doing it and eventually we just did it and it was something.”
Wendy Blitz, the petitioner of the Dark Souls petition said about the game, “Never before has a game made me perspire so much from fear, joy, elation and stealth, to the detriment of my leather couch. People say that videogames can’t be emotional but it’s because of emotion that made me set up a petition. Mind you, the game is harder than giving birth.” Miss Blitz is currently being sued by The UK Feminist Activist Group.
We pressed Mark Souls on the new content featuring in the PC version and he replied: “There’s one called Guardian of the Tomb and the Black Dragon. We were really inspired by Tomb Raider by the former and the Black Dragon is a dragon that flies backwards, never before seen in a working videogame." Mark Souls stressed to us that we write ‘working’ in capitals.
It’s clear that the popularity of From Software is only going to grow and grow but some corners of the industry have reacted negatively to the additional content. Joseph Joypad at http://www.christandy.webs.com claimed that, “If Dark Souls is like a big box of Corn Flakes, adding two more bosses is like adding two more flakes to the crispy flaked cereal. Admittedly large crunchy flakes that may take me a while to chow down on but it’s not going to fill me up in the morning”.
The August release means that Dark Souls will be coming to PC this August.
