Prepare to die even more, because the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is coming to PC later this month with new locations, enemies, and bosses to get frustrated over. The additional content takes you back through time, where you'll get the chance to fight the Knight Artorias, a character who is mentioned but never shown in the original console release. Get all the details on the new content as we walk through the new Royal Wood forest location, battle a boss, and explore a monster-infested town in the video below.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be available August 24 for digital download on PC, while the additional content will be released as DLC for consoles later this year.
