Dark Souls PC content confirmed for consoles as DLC

by Alice O'Connor, May 31, 2012 6:00am PDT

The deathly and dastardly extra content coming with the PC edition of Dark Souls will also be released for consoles as DLC, publisher Namco Bandai has confirmed. The 'Artorias of the Abyss' expansion will arrive on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this winter, priced at $15.

Namco Bandai broke the news to IGN. Artorias of the Abyss will add new areas, enemies, bosses, weapons, armour, and other gubbins you'd expect from DLC.

The PC edition, unashamedly named Dark Souls: Prepare to Die, is slated for release on Aug. 24. Unfortunately, it's not the fanciest of ports, running at 30fps and possibly using Games for Windows Live. Still, at least it's getting a PC release, thanks to the fan campaign.
