On February 5th 2015 a large, free update will be available for all users, on all systems. It addresses many things people have complained about as well as adding a new NPC and better item descriptions. However, I and many others are still hoping for some balance changes, but if not, I'm still happy enough as things are, or will have to be after the patch. Probably...
Go here for details of what's included in the patch. It's really too long to quote.
Scholar of the First Sin Free Update
In April of this year FROM Software will be releasing a Next Gen version of the game on PC, XBoxOne and PS4. It will have enhanced lighting, new enemy placements, 6 way Co-op, better online matchmaking and the updates included in the free patch. However, this is probably not final.
Announcement
And the announcement video, although it doesn't show much and most of what it does show is current DLC content. I'm not to sure about having the dragon at Heide's Tower if it's early game though, and I wonder if it even fits having it there, but we'll see I guess.
I play on PC and I'm not sure if I will get the new DX11 version. It will depend on how much higher the system specs go and what the FREE patch offers me that the new game won't. As far as lighting goes there are mods that make the game look fantastic. I have zero interest in PvP so that's a negative, and if it's mainly enhanced lighting and a few enemy changes I don't know if it's going to be worth it. I already have the Season Pass and all DLC's.
There's a couple of months between the patch and updated game release so let's hope we get more info by then to make it easier to decide.
There is a lot of controversy about this next Gen release, particularly the PC version. To use the DX11 game we have to buy it again for the same system. Anyway, there's a lot of talk about the way they are doing this, but only FROM knows the answers and they definitely don't talk to their fans.
Here's an interesting forum thread with many differing opinions on the enhanced game and patch.
Next Gen Release
.....awaiting more info.... Praise the Sun...
