Dark Souls PC release gets these new monsters in August

TheVerge: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition hits the computer this August with new bosses, according to scans of German gaming mag PC Action.

The scans, found by Mark MacDonald on Japanese gaming site Jin, show a character confronting two different creatures. One image shows a massive creature with the head of a lion, massive ram's horns and the wings of an eagle called the Guardian of the Tomb. Another image shows what appears to be a sort of Mantis-like dragon called the Black Dragon.

This better be on consoles, i dont mind payin for it as dlc, ill buy the new edition if thats what it takes

If theres new bosses there MUST be new areas in the game, how else will you confront them?

[NYC_Gamer]

I think this is the dlc already planned for consoles but just added to the PC package since its coming later...

[noprin]

I really looking forward to finish dark soul one more time

Soul count: 61980
"Wtf..!"

[DeadSpaced]

New monsters? I'll have to make sure I do my very best, play my hardest, then die to many times to count. Which is why I love this game.

[Somebody]

Black Dragon...can't they give a much more meaner, creative name?

[MeatAbstract]

Firey Impending Apocalyptic Doom World Ending Black Dragon.

[MeatAbstract]

Sorry: Multicutural Dragon.

[STONEY4]

Pink pony.

[ipe]

better be free dlc on console, or namco wont see my money in future. Still i dont want to put them on list with capcom, activision. Dont dissapoint namco

[TopDudeMan]

It won't be free. But it'll be a reasonable price for the amount of content, I'm sure.

PC players have already paid their price, having to wait almost a year to play the game.

[reznik_zerosum]

why are u so buthurt about this game ?

[TopDudeMan]

^Dude, I have over 150 hours in this game on the PS3, I have no reason to be butthurt. What would give you that impression?

I was just hoping their announcement would be the DLC, that's all.

Edit: wait, you disagree?

[MysticStrummer]

I'm not sure why reznik thinks you're butthurt (a very overused word), but I'd guess you're getting disagrees because people want the DLC to be free and don't want PC gamers to get the game, or at least not the PC gamers who haunt console articles on N4G.

Anyway, bring on the DLC. I'll start a new game in a heartbeat.

[pr0digyZA]

If it was CDProjekt then it would be free, otherwise this will be paid dlc.

[Letros]

Waiting for a port somehow makes it an inferior version? The things people come up with on this site.

[MoveTheGlow]

With the amount of engagement and sheer level-design awe that game brought me, I'd gladly pay for the DLC. This is add-on stuff, not stuff that fixes the game from its past not-so-great state or stuff that was already included on the disc.

The fact that it's free on the PC is just an incentive for people to purchase it, which is good. My question: WILL THERE BE MODS????

[kevnb]

microsoft doesnt usually allow free dlc.

[kevnb]

poop, I caved in and got a 360 and the game already... Oh well Ill beat it now, then start a new character for pc in august.

[Grap]

still 4 months :( sad very sad i will max the sh!t out oh it.. with mods Ultra HD Pack WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW i love my PC!!

[Eazy-Eman]

That lion-esque chimera-looking monster is in the artbook of Dark Souls, the one we got for free for pre-ordering the game

[specialguest]

An extra incentive for PC gamers to buy a game that is almost a year old, aside from the other natural incentives(high res graphics and high framerate).

[neogeo]

But will it have options to MAX out the game in super hi res? Or just a port?

I'm stilling getting it, Will enjoy it in 1080p@ 60fps either way.

[RankFTW]

Hope it's a Steamworks game.

[FOXDIE]

I hope so too man!

[RufustheSage]

Congrats PC players! Enjoy this awesome game when it comes out and hope they fixed Blight town's lag.

[Xof]

It's getting a PC release? Well, damn. Here's hoping it's Steam. And priced well enough to convince me to buy it again: I won't bother if it's $50 or more.

And I was just thinking, "now might be a good time to toss Dark Souls back in the old PS3."

Guess not. Oh well, guess I've got Xenoblade to play in the meanwhile. Now THAT'S a game that would really benefit from a PC port.

[Awesome_Gamer]

I'm really looking forward to this

[VirtualSamadhi]

Oh man, if this isn't paid DLC for consoles I will WET MY PANTS! I just started New Game+, and I was looking for the incentive to play through the game again with a level 103 character. THIS IS IT.

[Bladesfist]

Why do console gamers accept so much paid DLC :( Its starting to go over to PC now. But still most pc only developer release a lot of free DLC.

[VirtualSamadhi]

You guys get the DLC free because it is a later release for PC than console.

We get to pay because we got it early, but it's incentive to play it twice.

Why? Production costs are high. If the game is too short, or includes Day 1 DLC, just don't pay for it. Developers will get the idea. Most DLC is a benefit for players, since we get downloadable, instant "mini-expansions" rather than waiting six months and getting a re-release of the game with an expansion pack at FULL PRICE $$$. :)

[Bladesfist]

Yes but a lot of DLC is free for us like all left 4 deads dlc. Witcher 2's massive dlc patch kinda things which added loads. Extended edition. Portal 2 dlc.

[yeahokchief]

Awwwww yeah!! Awesome to see new bosses!! I hope it comes out for PS3 just so I can use my Level 200+ character, but if it's pc only then I'd have no problem buying the game twice. It's worth it.

[StrawberryDiesel420]

This is just great news for gaming in general. FromSoftware are an amazing Dev.
