Try Dark Souls Remastered ahead of schedule

If you’re keen to get your hands on Dark Souls Remastered, you’ll have a chance to try the game out on Nintendo Switch this weekend ahead of its release.

Nintendo is launching a network test for the game beginning September 21 from 6-10 PM BST. Tests will continue on September 22 and 23 at the same time. If you want to join in on the test, you can download the client from the eShop.

The test places players in the Undead Parish area, and you’ll be able to explore single-player and multiplayer content. While it’s technically free to participate, you will need a Switch Online membership.

The Switch version was delayed earlier this summer to ensure the port was up to snuff, but has since been rescheduled for release in October.

Dark Souls Remastered arrives along with the Soliare of Astora amiibo on Nintendo Switch on October 19.
