Developer FromSoftware has announced that online multiplayer servers for Dark Souls 2 and 3 are back online following a nearly two-week outage.

FromSoftware temporarily disabled multiplayer on 30th October, citing what it called “a server issue”. Some speculated this could be related to the recently discovered PHP security bug, which impacted a number of other games.

FromSoftware never specified the exact issue impacting its servers, and today’s statement is equally vague. “Regarding the temporary suspension of the game server for Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3, the investigation has been completed and the fix has been applied. The game server and online features are now restored,” a notice on Dark Souls’ official site reads.

“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding.”

Online servers do more in FromSoftware games than simply facilitating co-op and PvP; they’re also responsible for handling messages players leave for each other in-game, as well as the ghostly representations of players who just went through the same area, helping the Dark Souls series’ forlorn worlds feel a little less solitary.

This isn’t the first time Dark Souls servers have gone offline, either. In 2022, servers for all three games went offline due to a vulnerability that allowed malicious code to run on them. In that instance, it took FromSoftware three months to bring servers back online for some games, and as many as nine months for others.

In other FromSoftware news, the studio recently announced – following months of speculation – it’s officially delaying the Switch 2-exclusive The Duskbloods to sometime in 2027.
