Dark Souls Japan: Playable Next Week?

With a major, game-stopping glitch like this, a company’s goal is always to get the fix out as soon as possible so that people who purchased the title early don’t feel spurned by the developers. That the patch won’t be out until next week, however, seems to speak less to From Software’s sense as a developer and more to the depth of the issue. If it’s buried sufficiently deep in the code that fixing it, even after identifying it, will take a matter of days even for the company’s hot new release, it must be affecting something integral.
