Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

The story takes place in the kingdom of Drangleic, where players must navigate through dark lands and fight against powerful enemies. The main character is tasked with uncovering the truth behind their own fate and the downfall of the kingdom.

The gameplay has been slightly changed by removing certain safe zones and adding new NPCs and enemies, including the Forlorn. The placing of enemies have been changed to create a whole new game dynamic, specifically for returning players. Online and campaign play have had game balance tweaks, improved online matchmaking, better quality graphics, and different item descriptions.

The PC (DirectX 11), PS4, and Xbox 360 versions have additional upgrades to graphics, sound, and performance. For those platforms online gameplay has also been changed from 4-player to supporting up to 6 players.
