Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin by xatab

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is scheduled to launch on Steam this Wednesday, April 1 with current and last-gen counterparts becoming available the following Tuesday, April 7. From Software has described the reissue as a "Director’s Cut" of all the Dark Souls II content that has been released thus far, with new additions and reworks for the DirectX 11, Xbox One, and PS4 versions of the game.

DirectX 11 users and current-gen console owners can look forward to new enemy placement, map shortcuts, and gameplay design, as well as improved graphics and sound. New weapons and armor have been added, as well as NPCs, and the online player cap has been increased from four people to a maximum of six.

DirectX 9 users and last-gen console owners will be getting all of the previously released downloadable content and that's about it. You can think of it as the GOTY edition of the game.

The DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 versions of the title will have their own separate store pages on Steam in an attempt to cut down on customer confusion and, for those concerned about being stuck with the DirectX 9 version if they decide to eventually upgrade their hardware down the road, From Software has outlined an upgrade path to get you to the DirectX 11 version of Dark Souls II.

It should be stated here that the two DirectX versions, as well as the current and last-gen console versions will be incompatible for online multiplayer and cannot carry over save data.

That is to say, if you decide to upgrade to the DirectX 11 version of the game and your friends plan to stick it out with the DirectX 9 version, you'll no longer be able to play together online. The same is true for current and last-gen console owners. Also, if you’ve played the original DirectX 9 or last-gen console version of the game and were hoping to import your character data, that's not going to happen. Save files don't carry over between the two versions.
