Nintendo is definitely keeping their Amiibo line relevant with the announcement that Solaire of Astora (from Dark Souls) will receive his own figure on May 25.
Solaire’s Amiibo figure will launch alongside the Switch debut of Dark Souls Remastered, and players who tap the jolly knight will be able to perform a “Praise the Sun” gesture whenever they want. However, this freedom won’t extend to the Amiibo figure’s availability. According to Bandai Namco, the figure will be sold exclusively through GameStop.
The publisher also confirmed that a free Network Test will be available for Dark Souls Remastered on the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One before launch. More information about the Network Test will be announced soon.
In the meantime, be sure to watch the new Dark Souls Remastered footage from this evening’s Nintendo Direct presentation. You’ll also catch a glimpse at Solaire’s Amiibo figure.
