Dark Souls 2 Patch Incoming
From Software has announced a new patch for Dark Souls 2, preparing the way for the complete edition, Scholar of the First Sin.
Rolling out on February 5th, the swarm of changes include a new character, changes to how the Covenant of Champions works, easier online matchmaking and fixes to the game in general. There’s also a new item tat can limit how many souls you absorb during online play, meaning player’s can ‘control their online matchmaking’.
You can read the full changelog here, although there may be spoilers for those who haven’t finished the game.
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin will launch April 3rd.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
