FromSoftware shut down the multiplayer servers for all of the Dark Souls games on Windows way back in January due to an remote code execution security exploit that was also potentially present in Elden Ring which was released in February. (Watch my complete play through of Elden Ring here!)
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin was brought back online late last month and I was surprised to catch a patch a few hours ago for Dark Souls: Remastered on Steam for Windows that brought back online support alongside an announcement from From Software.
The passive messages and ghosts and active multiplayer pvp features of these games really help make their worlds feel less lonely and more active, so I’m incredibly happy to see the online service return.
