In an email sent to the PC Gamer editorial team a few hours ago, FromSoftware offered an update on the software. Online functions of the PC version between Dark Souls trilogystating that they are “currently restore servers“So it must have been very close by now.
For the inexperienced, the servers of the Dark Souls series on PC have been offline for about 120 days. They were disabled on January 23 to allow Bandai Namco to investigate a very serious vulnerability in the game code of the PC version of Dark Souls 3, unfortunately they were also shared with the first and second installments of the FromSoftware series. A few weeks ago, Bandai Namco confirmed that they are still working on fixing the issue, and finally the servers appear to be in the process of getting them fully operational again.
“We are currently restoring the online servers of the Dark Souls series on PC.“reads the email sent by FromSoftware to PC Gamer.”We plan to gradually restore the online service for each game by restoring the Dark Souls 3 servers once the work is done to fix the issue.“.
“We will provide more updates as soon as the recovery program is complete. We would like to thank all of our players for their patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.“.
Unfortunately FromSoftware hasn’t specified an exact date for the Dark Souls trilogy’s servers to be restored to PC, even though it’s pretty close so far. Similarly, we predict from the FromSoftware email that the games will gradually come back online, but it’s not clear in what order. In short, we are waiting for more details.
