Next up is some important pre-order information. You may remember the news regarding the Collectors Edition and Black Armour Edition of the game ( if you don’t then refresh your memory here). Namco Bandai has confirmed that both editions will ONLY be available through pre-ordering and not in retail. This means that the Standard version will be the only version to hit shelves March 2014 and if you want a heap of exclusive goodies such as a Warrior Knight model or limited edition steel case, you better get pre-ordering.
Finally, if you’re heading to MCM London Expo (October 25th and 26th) then you’ll have a chance to get your mitts on Dark Souls II and face the Mirror Knight to try and bag some awesome prizes. The aforementioned artists and writers of the Dark Souls II comic will also be at the event for signings so what are you waiting for?
Dark Souls II is due for a March 14th 2014 release on both PS3 and Xbox 360 with a PC version planned for a slightly later release. How many times can you die in Dark Souls before the sequel is released?
