The Switch version of the Dark Souls remaster finally has a release date, but theres still no explanation of why it was late in the first place.
Game review: The Waking Dead: The Final Season begins with Episode 1
It was supposed to be out this summer, but Bandai Namco has at last given Dark Souls Remastered a proper release date, of October 19.
No reason was given for the delay, which was always surprising since the original was an Xbox 360 era game and the Switch has already dealt with much more technically demanding ports – such as Doom and Wolfenstein II.
Hopefully the extra time in the oven will avoid any launch day problems and while its not the most transformative of remasters, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions reviewed very well when they were released back in May.

The amiibo of Solaire of Astora was also delayed alongside the game and will now also be coming out on October 19.
Apart from looking cool/goofy it will give you access to the Praise the Sun gesture from the start of the game, although you can just unlock it normally if you dont buy the amiibo.

FromSoftware were listed during the Nintendo Switch launch as one of the many developers working on the system, but its still not clear whether Dark Souls Remastered actually counts as their game.
Technically, Polish studio QLOC did all the work so it could mean that From have another, still unannounced, title waiting in the wings.
At the moment though all they have on their schedule is PlayStation VR title Déraciné and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
