DARK SOULS II Scholar of the First Sin

DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin is the definitive, director's-cut version of Dark Souls II. It collects every piece of content released for the game, including the Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King and Crown of the Ivory King expansions, in a single package, with updated visuals and improved performance.

More than a compilation, it is a genuinely different experience. Enemy placement has been overhauled, changing the play dynamic completely so that the safe zones returning players remember are no longer safe. A new NPC invader, the Forlorn, plays a key role in keeping even hardened players off balance, forcing them to forget what they thought they knew.

Online play is enhanced too: a special item regulates the souls gained in battle so matchmaking lines up more consistently, and online sessions now hold six players instead of four, reshaping how invasions and co-op unfold. Whether you are new to the series or a veteran, it delivers the franchise's renowned obscurity and unrelenting challenge.
