It was predictable.
Consoles Early Access confirmed.
This is just an estimated date I bet. There is no official release date for the PC version.
Good news and bad: the good news is that there's a new Dark Souls 2 trailer and it features lots of killing and dying and resting at bonfires. The bad is that Dark Souls 2 won't release until after the console editions, which have been confirmed for launches on March 11 and 14 in North America and Europe respectively. According to a Eurogamer report, game director Yui Tanimura hopes to release the PC edition in the same launch window.
"For the PC version we're simply saying March - we're trying our best for PC and console," he said. "The reason we can't announce the specific date is we're working on more options on how to make the PC version optimal." Tanimura also assured PC owners that problems with the Dark Souls port won't be repeated, as the current game is being developed with both consoles and PC in mind.
May 31 would be a Saturday.
Also many placeholder dates are 31.
So, I just received an email from Amazon.de saying that my Black Armour edition of Dark Souls 2 PC will arrive at the end of May - I didn't read anything about the PC date, so is this old and did I miss it or is this new?
After seeing what comes out in March(South Park, TitanFall, MGS: Ground Zeroes, inFamous Second Son) I wouldn't mind the delay if it means a better port.=OIt changed to 14/3 yesterday here...
if it goes back to April or 31/3 i'm going to be pissed
This.PC retail versions are coming late, maybe? Amazon in the US still has a placeholder date of March 31 for DD codes.
After the crappy port of the first one you though they'd try to redeem themselves. Well, I guess not.
Maybe they aren't getting a big enough initial shipment of the collector's edition. Could be just that. PLEASE BE JUST THE CE!

Every time a developer delays a PC version past the console release, I never think "Well, poor guys just need more time."
I usually think "So, they want me to buy the console version, huh."
No, the game will be delayed.

That's a quote from the description of their latest trailer.
Waiting a couple extra months is somehow an irredeemable quality? Lol. Spoiled much? It doesn't matter if it's late, what matters is if it's good.
