Dark Souls Trilogy Box Set Coming To PS4 In Japan (Update: No Plans For The West)
UPDATE: Bandai Namco has confirmed to us that there is no plan to release this box "in the Americas."
The original story is as follows:
With the recent news that Dark Souls is getting a current-gen remaster, all three Dark Souls games will soon be playable on Xbox One and PS4. Time for a box set!
Bandai Namco has announced a pricey box set exclusive to PS4. The set includes all three Dark Souls games, all of their DLC, the soundtracks for each game, a pair of bookends, 10 art prints with a frame, and three physical dictionaries with the descriptions of every item in the series.
The set will retail in Japan for 49,800 yen and has not been announced for the West. We've reached out to Bandai Namco about a Western release and will update this story should they reply.

Our Take
That price is way too much (about $450 in US dollars), but those dictionaries are pretty tempting, since item descriptions are where Dark Souls keeps most of its important lore.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
