It was only a couple of months ago that Bandai Namco announced Dark Souls Remastered, promising an enhanced version of FromSoftware"s 2011 action RPG for modern platforms. However, Nintendo Switch owners will have to wait a while longer to get their hands on the title - the first Dark Souls game on a Nintendo console - due to it being delayed.
The announcement arrived via the official Dark Souls Twitter account, and although there isn"t a definite release date attached to the Switch version anymore, the remaster is slated to drop for the hybrid console sometime in the summer. The Solaire of Astora amiibo has also been hit with the same delay.
Due to the nature of causality, we must announce that the Nintendo Switch version of #DarkSoulsRemastered will be pushed back to summer of 2018, and with it, the release of the Solaire of Astora amiibo.

PC/PS4/X1 versions will maintain their May 25th release date.
In a follow-up tweet, the official account added, "Rest assured, this time will ultimately be used to improve your journey to Lordran."
Thankfully, none of the other platforms are affected by this delay, meaning all PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 players will get the chance to return to the new and improved lands of Lordran on May 25 as previously scheduled.
