Bandai Namco took us by surprise when it announced that the previously Japan-exclusive Dark Souls Trilogy would be releasing on October 19th. We assumed this was for Western audiences, and we’re right. But only partially. A Bandai Namco spokesperson recently confirmed in a press release that the trilogy will not be releasing in Europe.

“To clarify, the Dark Souls Trilogy release date announcement yesterday (August 21st) was a US and Asia announcement only and was not a Gamescom announcement in Europe. Dark Souls fans in Europe can still get their fix on October 19th–with the release of Dark Souls: Remastered for the Nintendo Switch console.”

Dark Souls Trilogy will be heading to Xbox One and PS4, retailing for $80. Along with this year’s Dark Souls Remastered, it will feature Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls 3: The Fire Fades Edition. All the DLC for each game will be included, thus ensuring the most complete experience possible, and physical retail copies will even have a steelbook case.

If you haven’t experienced Dark Souls before, then this is probably the best way to do it. Sadly, there’s still no information on a potential PC release for the trilogy. At least From Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is coming to PC along with Xbox One and PS4 in March 2019. Check out some new gameplay here.

Out of nowhere, Bandai Namco Games has announced that Dark Souls Trilogy will be coming to the Xbox One and PS4 on October 19th. Yes, you read that right. The definitive versions of all three Dark Souls titles – namely Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, and Dark Souls 3: The Fire Fades Edition – will be available in a three-disc package. All DLC will be included as well.

This year saw Dark Souls Remastered make its way to Xbox One, PS4, and PC, containing a graphically enhanced version of the first game with its DLC. It will also launch on October 19th for the Nintendo Switch. So while it may be particularly annoying for anyone who already owns the remaster, Dark Souls Trilogy still represents incredible value for first-time players. It was originally released in Japan exclusively for PS4, so it’s good to see it coming West as well.

Will it arrive on PC though? That’s the real question, and hopefully, Bandai Namco will have more information on that soon. If you want something new out of From Software, then Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will be coming in March 2019.
