Dark Souls 2 will be able to up its player death counter by a rather large margin on April 25, when it launches on PCs all over the world (except UK), allowing a fresh batch of adventurers to drown their hopes in the world of Drangleic.

There has been some talk regarding a rumored drop in visual quality for the PC version of Bandai Namco's action role-playing game, in order to make it look on par with the PlayStation and Xbox 360 versions.

Disturbing as the rumors might have been, they were apparently unfounded, as Bandai Namco has released a bunch of screenshots from the PC version of Dark Souls 2, showing a beautifully detailed world with some impressive effects.

In addition to the screenshots, meant to put PC owners at ease regarding the game's graphics, the publisher has also shared the minimum and recommended system requirements to enjoy Dark Souls 2.
