Boxed PC copies of Dark Souls II delayed in the UK

From April 25 to May 2

There was some confusion this morning about a possible delay for the PC version of Dark Souls II, which is already later than its console counterparts. Regrettably, there is a delay, to May 2 — but only in the United Kingdom, and only for boxed copies of the action-RPG.

In a statement provided to , publisher Namco Bandai said “It will be delayed unfortunately and we apologize to UK customers. This is due to a manufacturing issue with packaging. To confirm, this will only affect the UK boxed launch.” That’s got to be painful.

I kind of wish I would’ve just held out for the digital PC release, myself. I bought it on day one for Xbox 360 but haven’t had hardly any time to play the darn thing yet. Oh well. Live and learn.
