FromSoftware disables Dark Souls 2 and 3 servers due to security issues

FromSoftware has unexpectedly taken the online servers for Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 offline across all platforms. The downtime, which began on the afternoon of Friday, October 30, is reportedly due to a security issue on the game servers.

The outage has disabled several core interactive features, including player messages, PvP invasions, and online cooperative play. While single-player modes remain accessible, the loss of these social and competitive elements has caused frustration within the gaming community.

FromSoftware has confirmed the maintenance is ongoing but has not provided a specific timetable for when services will be restored, marking the end time as “To Be Determined.” The studio has apologized for the inconvenience and requested patience while they address the security matter.
