The official Dark Souls 2 website has been given a new facelift in its most recent update, which went live just a couple of hours ago.

The tagline reads: "Go Beyond Death."

The updated site offers a new tagline, a different background, and a pre-order link to GameStop or EB Games depending on your location, for players can place their order for the title ahead of the game's release later this year.

Interestingly enough, the update seems to indicate that the game will be made available on the PC in addition to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during launch. Players will be happy to note that the dreaded Games for Windows Live logo appears to be entirely absent from the page, suggesting that Dark Souls 2 will not require the obtrusive software to run like the first game.

New information about Dark Souls 2 is expected to drop very early next week, so stay tuned for more details as they become available. We'll be among the first to bring you that information as it goes live.
