This is news that will make fans of Dark Souls games smile. From Software has decided to restart the online services of Dark Souls 3, and also intends to revive the previous games of the franchise.
If Elden Ring is and will be the undisputed star of 2022, there are still other From Software games that totally deserve the public’s attention. Especially the whole series of Dark Souls games. The Japanese studio’s previous masterpieces had remained in some form of controversy for some time, with their online services completely shut down since mid-May 2022. Indeed, the multiplayer modes of Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 on PC had been singled out for showing great vulnerability to malicious attacks, endangering the safety of players, their game and even their configuration. It is therefore logical that From Software had decided to suspend the online modes of these three games last May, pending a complete overhaul of their online game architecture.
Online features for the PC version of Dark Souls III have been reactivated.
We are working to restore these features for all others #DarkSouls titles and will inform you when they are back in service.
