DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin brings the franchise’s renowned obscurity & gripping gameplay to a new level. Join the dark journey and experience
Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin Steam Buyer Guide: Difficulty, DLC, Price, And Who It Fits is a source-based buyer guide built from the exported Steam listing details, official store information, and PFN’s buyer-focused editorial checks. This is not a scored review; it is designed to help readers understand what is confirmed, what still needs checking, and whether the listing fits their taste.
The short version: the expanded version of Dark Souls II, known for high encounter density, build variety, and a more divisive feel than the first Dark Souls.

What The Steam Listing Confirms
The Steam description presents the core hook this way: DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin brings the franchise’s renowned obscurity & gripping gameplay to a new level. Join the dark journey and experience overwhelming enemy encounters, diabolical hazards, and unrelenting challenge.
For PFN readers, the important part is not the marketing line by itself. The practical question is how the confirmed developer, publisher, price, release timing, and genre tags line up with the kind of experience being sold.
Who This Is For
This listing is most relevant for players who already know they enjoy Souls combat and want a large, strange, content-rich entry with many areas, bosses, and build experiments.
It is less suitable if it is not the smoothest starting point for newcomers; movement, enemy placement, and adaptation stats make it feel different from Dark Souls Remastered and Dark Souls III.
Price And Availability Notes
The draft export recorded the Steam price as RM59.50 (50% off at the time of writing) and the release field as 1 Apr, 2015. Steam prices, discounts, regional availability, and store tags can change, so readers should treat those values as a snapshot and verify the current store page before buying.
For released games, the better buying question is not only whether the game is well known, but whether the current price and platform state make sense for your backlog today.
What To Check Before Buying
- Current Steam user reviews and recent review trend
- PC system requirements and Steam Deck notes, if relevant
- Regional price in RM and whether the displayed discount is still active
- Controller, language, accessibility, and cloud-save support
- Recent patch notes or launch-day known issues
PFN Buyer Notes
- The draft Steam facts list FromSoftware as developer and Bandai Namco / FromSoftware as publishers.
- The exported price was RM59.50 at 50% off when the draft was built.
- Scholar of the First Sin is best treated as a distinct Souls entry, not simply “more Dark Souls 1.”

Bottom Line
PFN’s current position is that this is worth shortlisting if the price and confirmed features match your taste. The article avoids a score because the useful answer for readers is whether the listing fits their platform, budget, and play style.
