Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3’s online servers are temporarily going dark, FromSoftware announces

FromSoftware has temporarily taken the online servers for *Dark Souls 2* and *Dark Souls 3* offline because of an unspecified server issue. Online features, including player messages, summoning and PvP invasions, are unavailable while the studio investigates, affecting play across all platforms.

The developer has not given a restoration time and says it will share updates when it has more information. The trilogy has faced previous outages: all three games went offline in 2022 after a security vulnerability affected *Dark Souls 3*, which suffered another outage months later. FromSoftware’s multiplayer game *The Duskbloods* has also had server problems and was recently delayed to 2027.
