‘Dark Souls Remastered’ Delayed for Nintendo Switch to Summer

Published

on

Dark Souls fans waiting for the remaster that’s set to hit the Switch will unfortunately have to wait longer than the original May 25th release date.

On Bandai Namco UK’s Twitter page, the company posted that the release of the Switch version will be delayed to the Summer 2018. This also includes the upcoming Solaire of Astora amiibo. When asked why the delay, Bandai Namco responded the delay is “purely development”, and that the new release timing gives the dev team more time to tweak the port. Fortunately for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players, the release date for those versions is still set for May 25th.

In addition, when asked about the network test for the Switch version (which is to test the servers to see if they can handle the load), Bandai Namco responded that the network test will still be happening, although it too is being pushed back until a new release date has been confirmed. After that, the test will go ahead.

Obviously, delays suck, but hopefully the extra development time will give the game the polish it needs. We’ve seen what Bethesda was able to crank out with their Switch port of DOOM, so the benchmark is there.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
