We break from our normal “Games you can play this week” format to honour the imminent arrival of one the most anticipated PC titles of 2014: Dark Souls 2.
The retail version has been delayed until until 2 May 2014, but the digital version is available from this Friday, 25 April 2014.
The PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the game have been around for a while now, and PC owners have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on a copy so they, too, can die hundreds of times a day in battle.
To prepare those of you who can’t wait a week, and can spare the bandwidth, take a look at the recommended PC specs for the game, what you need to know before playing, and our epic video roundup of Dark Souls 2 action.
If you have not put your order in for a physical copy of the game – it’s not too late, and our pre-order price roundup is available to help you find the best price.
