It’s been eight months since Dark Souls 3 publishers deactivated the servers after a malicious attack on gamers’ computers. Although Elden Ring had some scares, it still managed to launch with global success. Thankfully, FromSoftware has let us know that the servers are back online for renewed action.
The news appeared as a Tweet on the Dark Souls feed. For now, it seems all the focus has been on the Dark Souls 3 game, with no news about the previous titles. It’s assumed that the online patches for them will appear soon, but is anyone still concerned about them?
When reading the comments under the announcement, many gamers wondered who still cares about Dark Souls 3 online servers after eight months. It seems everyone is fully focused on the Elden Ring multiplayer mode, which is still active. As a matter of fact, an interesting conspiracy would be if the publishers intentionally dismantled the DS servers to encourage this crossover.
Of course, I have no proof of such a conspiracy, but it immediately springs to mind when you consider how invested gamers are with Elden Ring at the moment. Of course, we did have that incident of the one gamer killing a boss in his underwear. Also, there was that one time a hacker placed items in players’ inventories that got them banned.
We’ll have to see how long the servers will remain active this time around. Hopefully, FromSoftware has placed enough security measures to prevent this from happening again. If it does go offline again, how long will DS3 fans have to wait the next time around? In any event, you can read more about when the Dark Souls 3 servers went offline in January in case you missed it.
