The end of quiet life: multiplayer will return to Dark Souls soon

In the beginning of 2022 we've already announced the flaw in the code of Dark Souls game which caused the FromSoftware employees to turn off multiplayer servers since the 23rd of January. The problem was promised to be fixed by the Elden Ring release, but it has not happened. Journalists from PC Gamer received more specific information: in their opinion, soon multiplayer will return to the famous RPG series.

In case you don't know, the multiplayer mode in all three Dark Souls is arranged as follows: one player can break into the session of another to help him in the battle with monsters or, conversely, to interfere in the passage of the game. So the colored ghosts appearing out of nowhere are always a surprise. At least they were a surprise, until the employees of FromSoftware disabled this option because of the dangerous vulnerability in the code which could hack the computer. Since January, gamers have repeatedly raised the topic on Reddit and other forums, but the most insightful commentary was recently received by PC Gamer authors.

According to the journalists, the trilogy's developers are actively engaged in troubleshooting and will begin to include multiplayer servers, starting with Dark Souls 3 - and further in descending order. When the work is complete, there will be an update that should be installed separately. No one has given a specific timeline, but PC Gamer's Andy Chuck thinks that since Bandai Namco and FromSoftware already have a plan of action, and they mentioned Part 3 in correspondence, there's not long to wait.
