## Key points

- Dark Souls 2 and 3 servers are back online.
- FromSoftware says it completed its investigation and applied a fix.
- The outage lasted less than two weeks, unlike the 2022 shutdowns.

## Summary

FromSoftware has restored the online servers for Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 after suspending them over apparent security vulnerabilities. The studio said on 11 November that its investigation was complete and a fix had been applied, allowing players to use the games’ online features again.

The shutdown began at the end of October, but the company has not explained the vulnerabilities or the details of its fix. The brief outage contrasts with similar PC server suspensions in 2022, which lasted for weeks while FromSoftware investigated another potential security issue.
