After months of hypothesis and unconfirmed studies of incoming fixes, FromSoftware has lastly, formally confirmed that it’s bringing again on-line servers for the Darkish Souls video games on PC.
The story goes again to the start of 2022, when the invention of a severe safety vulnerability in Darkish Souls 3 led writer Bandai Namco to droop PvP servers for all Darkish Souls video games on PC. Bandai and FromSoftware initially stated that the servers can be stored offline till after the discharge of Elden Ring, giving the expectation that service can be restored comparatively quickly after, however that did not occur. 4 months later they continue to be MIA.
A Reddit publish from earlier this month claimed {that a} Bandai Namco assist rep had stated that assist was on the way in which, and now we lastly have it straight from the supply.
“We’re at present within the technique of restoring the web servers for the Darkish Souls collection on PC,” FromSoftware stated in an e mail despatched to PC Gamer. “We plan to revive on-line service for every recreation progressively, bringing again servers for Darkish Souls 3 as soon as we full the mandatory work to right the issue.”
“We’ll present further updates as quickly because the restoration schedule is finalized. We need to thank all our gamers in your endurance and understanding as we work to repair this challenge.”
There is not any timeline on the fixes, and the assertion about bringing again “every recreation progressively” is a bit complicated: To my studying it suggests they will be executed so as (1, 2, 3), however the point out of Darkish Souls 3 particularly signifies that will probably be first—which makes extra sense, because it’s being performed a lot greater than the others. However that is simply particulars: The necessary factor is that it is occurring, and that the method is much sufficient alongside that FromSoftware and Bandai are lastly prepared to say so. I’ve reached out for extra data on the timeline for fixes and can replace if I obtain a reply.
