Looks like Kotaku owes their source a beer, as earlier rumours of the brutally difficult RPG landing on the Nintendo Switch were in fact bang on the money. Praise the sun. Out on May 25 of this the year of our Ember Lord, Dark Souls on Switch will feature a hefty remastering and tuning for the Nintendo Switch, so that you can be prepared to die while you’re on the go. Handy.

Originally released a decade ago on the Nintendo DS, The World Ends With You has a simple enough premise: Accomplish several tasks within an hour or risk being erased from history. No pressure, right? Nintendo’s keeping the distinct art style of The World Ends With You intact, but fans and newcomers can expect a game which uses both traditional touchscreen controls and the JoyCons with which to experience the action-RPG and its new reimagined story mode.
