Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 servers have suddenly been taken offline across all platforms.
FromSoftware says it found an issue with the servers but hasn’t explained what happened or when they’ll be back, but probably due to the PHP vulnerabilities
This is worrying because of what happened in 2022, when a serious security exploit forced both games offline for months.
- Dark Souls 3: offline for 214 days.
- Dark Souls 2: offline for 275 days.
- Dark Souls Remastered: offline for 290 days.
*DARK SOULS II server maintenance notice* We will be conducting server maintenance for DARK SOULS II. Please see the information page for details. We apologize for the inconvenience.

FromSoftware has taken the Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3 servers offline on every platform.
Its player support account said it found a problem with the servers and is keeping them down until it has more information.
Both games had short, scheduled maintenance earlier this month that ended on time.
This shutdown is broader, covers every platform at once, and has no stated restoration window.
Until FromSoftware posts an update, co-op and invasions stay unavailable.
I made a Dark Souls-inspired Three.js game with Sol Ultra using Codex Sites. It's fully playable in the browser.
I handled the prompts, references, and libraries like img2threejs. The game has shield blocking, dodge rolls, archery, and a full inventory system.
Still blows my mind that you can build a 3D game like this in a single afternoon.
