For the past two years, we have offered a 50% discount on Dark Souls: Remastered for everyone who owned a copy of the original Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on Steam.

This message is to inform you that we are shuttering this discount program on September 30, 2021.

If you would like to take advantage of your discount before that final day, we invite you to do so.

Thank you,


The DARK SOULS Team

We meet again, Chosen among the Undead.

Today marks the start of a new age for Dark Souls. As with every age, there are those who greet it with reservation, and those who greet it with joy. Whichever you may be, you are well-met at our bonfire.

Dark Souls: Remastered allows you to return to an ancient world sinking inexorably into darkness as the Age of Fire dies. The same gameplay and challenge that defined a genre, but running at 60 fps and Dynamic 4k resolution (yes, even in Blighttown).

While the majority of Dark Souls' gameplay has been preserved as it was when first we met this darkening world, there are a few notable exceptions, mainly in the introduction of the online password system; improved graphics, lighting, and environmental effects; and the expanded PvP and Co-Op modes, allowing up to six players to join together in cooperation or head-to-head combat.

Those who have been adherents to the flame since days of yore and own the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls can upgrade to this new version at half the standard price, as a token of our thanks for your support.

And with that, we welcome you back to Lordran.

Additional note: We have flagged some issues with occasional drops in FPS that some players have raised. We are currently working on a correction to this problem, and we will inform you the moment that a solution is available. Thank you for your kind patience.

We meet again, Chosen Undead.

A time of great renewal is at hand. A time of change. Lordran will be reborn. Prepare yourselves...

Dark Souls: Remastered will arrive on Steam on May 25. The original, unforgettable gameplay and lore will return in high-definition detail running at 60fps and 4k resolution. Rediscover the journey to rekindle the flame and dive deeper into the darkening world than ever before.

Further details will be revealed as the future unfolds. Ready your weapons, champions of the flame, and share your plans with your kindred warriors. Together, you are mightier than you are alone.

Chosen Undeads,

On January 5th, Dark Souls™: Prepare to Die™ Edition will be updated to include Japanese localization and the game will become accessible in Japan.

As a result, you will be able to select “Japanese” in your game properties, even if you don’t live in Japan.

However, please note that due to technical restrictions, if you were to choose “Japanese” as your ingame language, all mods currently added to your game will be disabled as they will not be compatible when the update is live. However, they may be compatible if updated in the future.

See you soon in Lordran,

The Dark Souls Team

A nice fix is available for all players since January 19th 2015 to completely remove the infamous multiplayer region lock in Dark souls: Prepare to die edition.
