UK Games Chart: Dark Souls 2 Remaster Joins Bloodborne in Top Ten

Two separate games from Tokyo studio From Software now feature in the UK all-format games chart, according to official data.

While the PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne drops one place to third during its second week since release, its predecessor also joins it in the top ten. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin--a remaster of the acclaimed 2014 title for Xbox One and PS4--enters the chart at eighth. It marks the first time two titles developed by the studio have featured in the same chart bracket simultaneously.
