Praise the Sun! FromSoftware have announced thatDark Souls Remastered’s long dormant PvP servers have beenreactivatedat last. The fantasy action RPG’s multiplayer was scuppered earlier this year when a security vulnerability that could harm anyone playing online was discovered all the way back in January. PC servers for Remastered were taken offline until a fix could be found, along with every otherDark Soulsgame.

There’s been a weird to-ing and fro-ing since then, with PvP servers for some Dark Souls games being brought back online again only to be withdrawn not long afterwards.Dark Souls 3’s serverswent back upin August, butfell againa month later. Makes you wonder if it’s some kind of weird meta reference to the series’ attitude to death and rebirth.
FromSoft managed torestoreDark Souls 2: Scholars Of The First Sin’s servers just last month, and they’re still alive and kicking for now. The base version of Dark Souls 2 is set to follow along, FromSoft said onTwitter.Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition’s PvP serverswon’t be reactivated, however, as they’re getting on a fair bit.
Dark Souls Remastered is onSteamand for £35/$40/€40. Let’s see if the servers last. Keh heh heh heh…
