For Miyazaki's part, he said From Software had nothing to say at this point. Namco's response to this has been, let's say, ambiguous.

Plus, of course, the frame rate and texture detail will be given a lift. As announced on Friday, the new Prepare To Die edition of the Xbox 360 and PS3 hit will feature a whole new chapter, Artorias of the Abyss, and a refined PVP mode which will make it easier for players to arrange competitive battles against their friends online. On August 24, PC gamers will get to experience one of last year's finest – and toughest – console releases: From Software's unrelenting RPG adventure, Dark Souls.
