Detroit Become Human number 2, yeah!

It's so amazing that Dark Souls still keeps making money for the studio and publisher. This remaster is of a game that is over 6 years old, and nearly 100K sold in Japan alone means it will sell at least 1 million worldwide.

One of the very best games of all time (the whole series including Bloodborne).

I wonder what is happening with the Switch version? If they don't offer a release date at E3 I think it's safe to assume the game has some serious issues...
