14 DAY TRIAL // Although the launch date for the PC version of Dark Souls 2 was unwittingly revealed earlier in an ad for the game, it wasn't until yesterday that publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed it to be April 25.
Today, another interesting reveal comes from Bandai Namco, in the form of the minimum and recommended system requirements for the upcoming action role-playing game.
This is what a PC needs in order for its owner to be able to die over and over and over in From Software's next game:
