Dark Souls: Remastered comes to Switch this October

After vanishing out of nowhere, mere weeks before it was set to release, Bandai Namco have announced that Dark Souls: Remastered is set to launch on Nintendo Switch on October 19th, with the amiibo releasing on the same day.

With tense exploration and fearsome foes, the twisted world of DARK SOULS: REMASTERED is full of trials, extreme battle, diverse weaponry and magic. Players can customise their character to exactly suit their desired gameplay, should it be a heavy armored merciless warrior or a frail but mighty sorcerer. The Nintendo Switch version of DARK SOULS: REMASTERED will allow players to face those challenges head-on everywhere! Switch players will be able to explore Lordran prior to release with the online network test. More information will be available soon.

Bandai Namco also released a handy little chart, to show what you get on the Switch version, compared to the original release.

	Original	Nintendo Switch
Resolution	720p	TV mode : 1080p Portable mode : 720p
Frame rate	30fps	30fps
Online compatible players	1～4	1～6
Online system	P2P	Specific game server

While the game supports online, the game will release after the Nintendo Switch Online service goes active, so online play will be a paid element at this point.

If you have forgotten what the amiibo looks like, here is a shot of it.
