When Dark Souls: Remastered was first announced, there was a little bit of confusion going on detailing what the price point would be for those that already owned the ‘Prepare to Die’ edition on PC. First, there was a report that showed “proof” that it was going to be half-off, and then a spokesman for Bandai Namco immediately made a statement debunking the original image stating it would be full price. Turns out, the original report was correct and woo, we can save some money!

The publisher has officially confirmed, no third party reports, that Dark Souls: Remastered will be half off for PC players that have already purchased Dark Souls: Prepare to Die previously. Since the game’s re-release is right around the corner next month, it’s a good time to clear up that earlier confusion.
This move was announced what it was revealed that the Steam’s Prepare to Die edition will be pulled from their digital library on May 9th. Makes sense, given that the Remaster is effectively what the Prepare to Die edition has to offer – only better.
