People who preorder Dark Souls III for PS4 from the PlayStation Store will receive a digital copy of the Dark Souls III soundtrack, as well as a Fire Fades dynamic theme. The theme is available right away, but the soundtrack won't be delivered until Dark Souls III launches on April 12.

Xbox One preorders from the Xbox Store come with a free copy of the original Dark Souls, playable through the console's backwards compatibility functionality. Bandai Namco notes that your code for Dark Souls should arrive by way of Xbox message 7-10 days after you place your order.

On PC, preorders for Dark Souls III on Steam come with the game's soundtrack, which, like the PS4 edition, will be available when the game arrives in April. Additionally, if you already own Dark Souls or Dark Souls II on Steam, you'll save $5 on Dark Souls III.

A digital deluxe version of Dark Souls III is available for $85 across all three platforms. The same preorder bonuses are available if you preorder this premium version, which also comes with Dark Souls III DLC.

This content will be available "at a later date." Last week, we learned that Dark Souls III's DLC would take the form of new maps, bosses, enemies, and additional weapon and armor sets.

In other news about Dark Souls III, Japan is getting a special edition PS4 featuring imagery from the series. For more on Dark Souls III, you can read our interview with series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki.
