From Software PR tweeted the announcement of the Dark Souls 2 digital pre-order bonuses and DLC weapons earlier today. It was announced through Japan's channels, and still no word if these bonuses would apply to other countries.
The original tweet was written in Japanese, and the screenshot below is a rough English translation of the tweet in English.
It is difficult to translate the actual announcement page from Japanese to English. However, photos of the DLC weapons are also featured in it to provide context.
It was recently announced that the game's beta for PS3 has been cancelled and resecheduled at a later date. We also featured a video showing new type of riposte in the upcoming game.
Dark Souls 2 will be released on March 11th for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows platforms.
