Fans of the Souls series of games have been waiting patiently ever since Dark Souls 2 launched for news about the game hitting the current generation of consoles. Today it has been made official that the wait is almost over. Bandai Namco Games announced that Dark Souls 2 will be getting an enhanced edition titled Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin that will finally make its way to the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Hitting the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on April 7th 2015, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin will not only feature increased graphics and all add on content currently available, it will also include an expanded story featuring additional in-game events, NPC characters, game-play improvements and deadlier enemies.
