'Dark Souls' Announced for PC – 'Demon's Souls' Goes Offline
Thu Apr 12, 2012 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, Atlus, PC, Petitions (all tags)
The PC launch will take place on August 24.
'Dark Souls' was one of this year's unexpected hits and a sort of return to the whole "ruthlessly difficult but fair" design philosophy. Xbox and PlayStation owners were able to get their hands on it, but shortly after release a strongly supported petition went into effect, asking for a PC version.
That petition was heard and, as it turns out, acted upon. PC gamers looking for their fix will be able to get 'Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition' on August 24th. No word yet on mod support.
If you're a 'Demon's Souls' fan that hasn't yet moved on, you may be saddened to know that the online component of the game is shutting down on May 31st. You'll still be able to play the game normally, but you'll miss out on those little interactive experiences that you need to be online to enjoy.

Want Dark Souls on PC? Namco Bandai Employee Says Petition
Mon Jan 09, 2012 at 10:30 AM ETTags: Namco Bandai, Dark Souls, PC, Petitions (all tags)
Over 43,000 users have signed at the time of this writing.
'Dark Souls' is a hardcore action RPG that's gained an incredibly strong following on consoles, but the PC crowd wants a piece of it too. When responding to a forum post requesting a PC version of the game, one Namco Bandai employee suggested that a petition was in order.
That suggestion spurred fans of the game to take action. They've started a petition that, at the time of this writing, has 43,801 signatures. The petition calls for a PC port and gives a bit of insight into why a port would work.
"Given the sales of games such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and The Witcher, there is a large market for games like this. PC gamers love unforgiving, hardcore games," says the petition. "An online oriented video game is also perfect for the capabilities of a PC."
'Dark Souls' is one of those games that's thoroughly enjoyed by players that want to go up against insurmountable odds and eventually triumph - something that PC gamers are very familiar with.
