Dark Souls Remastered for Nintendo Switch Delayed

The infamously difficult RPG classic is getting a long-awaited revival with the upcoming Dark Souls Remastered, and while the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions will still be coming out next month, Nintendo Switch owners unfortunately will have to wait just a little bit longer.

The folks over at Bandai Namco has officially announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Dark Souls Remastered has been delayed from its original release date of May 25th 2018. The release date is now set to “later this summer,” alongside the upcoming Solaire of Astora Amiibo that will coincide with the release of the game.

Regarding the delay, Bandai Namco stated that “the new release timing gives the development team the time needed to make sure Nintendo Switch players can fully appreciate the true Dark Souls experience anytime and anywhere, thanks to the unique portable nature of the console.”

Bandai Namco also stated that the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions’ release will be unaffected by the delay and will still release next month as originally planned, with the delay specifically affecting only the Switch version.

Dark Souls Remastered will release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 25th 2018, while the Nintendo Switch version will release sometime later this summer.
