It appears that the developer is currently trying to restore online services for other Dark Souls games as well. Usually, there’s no clear answer as to how long players can wait, but it’s good to know that the online feature will return to other games in the series sooner or later.
As ever, helping other players or fooling around in PvP is often what keeps these games alive indefinitely. Even things like bloodstains, phantoms, and messages are a well-loved feature of online gaming, which doesn’t necessarily mean meeting other players. So it’s great to see these features finally return.
Are you happy to see online services resumed in Dark Souls 3, or are you still working on finishing the Elden Ring? let us know!
