Dark Souls Remastered is Now Available for Nintendo Switch

A new launch trailer celebrates the action RPG's release for the platform.

FromSoftware’s Dark Souls Remastered has finally hit the Switch following some delays. Handled by Virtuos, the Switch port marks the first time that a mainline Dark Souls title has come to a portable-ish platform. Check out the launch trailer below and marvel at the quality of visuals.

Originally released back in 2011, Dark Souls Remastered is an updated version of the game with improved visuals. Sadly, the Switch version doesn’t benefit from 4K resolution support or 60 FPS like the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions. At least dedicated servers, password-protected matchmaking and the increased player count have made the leap.

Dark Souls Remastered includes the base game and the Artorias of the Abyss expansion. If you’ve never played a Souls-like game in your life, then it might be worth checking it out. Read our official review here to see if this is the remaster’s PS4 version was worthy of the original’s legacy.
