The Dark Souls 2 PC version’s official release date is 25 April, which is today, but the game is still listed as being “Not in stock” and on “Preorder” on online retail websites such as Flipkart and Amazon India.
Both websites previously had mentioned that the game would be available during the last week of April.
Amazon India now states that the game will be available on May 2nd, 2014.
We contacted eXpress Games, the local distributor for Namco Bandai, and were told that the game is packaged in the UK and will be directly imported to India, contrary to games being packaged in India to reduce costs. The shipment from the UK has been delayed, which has affected supplies to India. eXpress Games further added that the game will be made available during the “first week of May.” The physical PC version of Dark Souls 2 is priced at Rs. 1,999.
Furthermore, Game4u mysteriously shows the physical version of Dark Souls 2 PC as “In Stock.” This seems unlikely as Game4u.com has to source the game via eXpress. We contacted Game4u to verify this but haven’t received a response yet.
If you can’t wait to play Dark Souls 2, your best bet is buying the digital version from Steam ($49.99) or Game4u (Rs. 3099).
