Bandia Namco Games has confirmed that it has delayed the launch of Dark Souls Remastered’s network test for Nintendo Switch owners. It’s a bit of a blow for those looking to play the game on the Big N’s hybrid powerhouse, as the actual game is also arriving later than expected.

Writing on Twitter, the publisher confirmed that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Dark Souls Remastered will still have their network test go ahead as originally planned. Switch owners will have to wait a bit longer, though an exact date has yet to be confirmed.

Dark Souls Remastered will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on May 29, with the Switch version now due to ship at some point this summer. The game is a spruced up edition of the 2011 death-’em-up, featuring a visual makeover and frame rate boost plus the inclusion of the Artorias of the Abyss expansion.

 

Unfortunately, the change of the Switch release date has affected its Network Test and it will be arranged separately from the test for PS4/XB1. Network Test dates for the Switch will also be announced at the earliest possible opportunity.
