Dark Souls: Remastered Standard Edition

Dark Souls: Remastered is the 2018 rebuild of the game that defined a genre, running at a higher resolution and targeting sixty frames with dedicated servers instead of the original's peer-to-peer matchmaking. Lordran is the reason people still talk about it. The world is one continuous interconnected space rather than a set of levels, and the moment a lift drops you from Sen's Fortress back into Firelink Shrine is the moment most players understand what the design is doing. Combat is deliberate and stamina-bound, bonfires are the only checkpoints, and dying drops your souls where you fell with one chance to retrieve them. Online play supports up to six in a session for co-op summons and PvP invasions, with no voice chat and only a gesture system for communication. The Artorias of the Abyss content, sold separately in 2012, is included by default here. This is the only edition, and it includes the Artorias of the Abyss content as standard — there is no separate GOTY version. Keys activate on Steam or Xbox.
