The long, perilous journey through months of sinister rumors that Dark Souls was trekking to PC is finally at an end. Namco Bandai announced today that internet petitions do have some validity, and that Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will launch on PC August 24.

Prepare to Die Edition will feature new bosses, but the rest will be the same as it was on consoles, previous rumors reveal. If that's the case, PC players should be prepared to face a relentlessly difficult experience of satisfaction.
