Namco Bandai confirmed the news about Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition coming out for PCs. During their Global Gamers Day keynote, Namco said they plan to add a new chapter to the existing story.

Our fans demanded to see this game brought to the PC, and the noise they have made was simply too loud and too passionate to ignore," said Hidetaka Miyazaki, Creative Director for Dark Souls at From Software, "This also allowed us to dive back into the world of Dark Souls, offering a special edition of the game that offers more ways to die over and over again than ever before. Adding a whole new chapter to tell the tale of the Dark Knight Artorias was an opportunity we're also proud to have taken, as we've managed to expand the experience for our biggest fans without compromising the balance of the core game that we worked so hard to create. This edition of the game is our gift to the fans."

Additional details about the game will be available next week.

Wow, they're actually making an effort with this. Way to go From.
