Latest Steam announcements

• A new Dark Souls 3 lighting tool is giving modders the power to make next-gen facelifts of the FromSoft classic - 13 July 2025

  FromSoftserve on YouTube posted a preview of his upcoming Dark Souls 3 lighting engine mod on July 6, showcasing an in-depth look at DS3 re-imagined with vastly improved lighting and textures... Read more.

• The Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod is here, letting you further hone your teamwork skills before Elden Ring Nightreign launches - 26 February 2025

  The Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod dodge-rolled out of cover just a few weeks ago, from the same modding talent that added seamless co-op to Elden Ring and, most recently, Armored Core 6 . It wasn't clear at the time when Dark Souls 3 would be getting its co-op mod. But it turns out the answer was 'very soon'. Now, the Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod is formally available to download, even if it isn't 100% finished just yet... Read more.

• Elden Ring's biggest mod is now available in Dark Souls 3, and it revamps co-op - 25 February 2025

  Elden Ring Nightreign might be a major revamp of FromSofware's soulslike multiplayer experience, but it's actually a careful evolution of a system the studio has been refining for years. From Demon's Souls to Bloodborne, the developer has always pushed the envelope with co-op experiences; the iconic summoning and messaging systems still feel like a novel concept all these years later. That said, constantly having to rejoin friends after defeating bosses or dying quickly becomes frustrating. One modder remedied that issue in Elden Ring, and now they've done it again for Dark Souls 3 . Read the rest of the story...

• Elden Ring's uber-popular seamless co-op mod now has a Dark Souls 3 version, in case those Nightreign network tests haven't been enough to tide you over til release - 25 February 2025

  Ahead of Elden Ring Nightreign giving you a chance to battle through some bosses with friends in a few months' time, the uber popular mod that brought that kind of multiplayer to the original Elden Ring has given birth to a sibling. The previously teased Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op is now a thing. Read more

• The Nameless King and older Souls bosses will show up in Elden Ring Nightreign for exactly the reasons you think - 13 February 2025

  Elden Ring Nightreign is quickly becoming one of the year’s most anticipated games, and with good reason. But it also represents an entirely new type of game for developer FromSoftware, one that freed it up to try things some would consider sacrilege. Read more

• ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN - Official Pre-Order Trailer - 13 February 2025

  Remain steadfast against the encroaching rain, Nightfarers. The Nightlord awaits your arrival. Make your landfall in Limveld on May 30th, 2025. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2622380/ELDEN_RING_NIGHTREIGN/

• Calling all Elden Ring seamless co-op mod lovers, the modder behind it is back with another one, this time for Dark Souls 3 - 9 February 2025

  Elden Ring's most popular mod is easily the seamless co-op one from modder Yui, and they're back at it again, this time for Dark Souls 3 . Read more

• The creator of the Elden Ring Seamless co-op mod is now infusing unlimited multiplayer into Dark Souls 3 - 9 February 2025

  The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod is one of the best unofficial addons for FromSoftware's fantasy RPG. Not only does it let you traverse the Lands Between with pals, but it also frees you from the usual constraints of FromSoft multiplayer. As our own Wes Fenlon enthused last year, the mod "makes Elden Ring feel like a true cooperative game through and through, rather than a cooperative experience cobbled together around FromSoftware's trademark odd online systems."..

• Dark Souls 3 is getting a new lease on life with beloved Elden Ring co-op mod - 8 February 2025

  FromSoftware's take on multiplayer is easily my favorite part of the studio's games. The summoning system means you're completely alone and surrounded by other players simultaneously, with their bloodstains and cheeky messages acting like passing ships in the night. You can then call on a random player to help you finally beat that brick wall of a boss, only for them to slowly fade away when the task is done as they emote to you one last time. If you want to trudge through one of FromSoftware's games with a friend, however, the developer's online system can make that tough. That's why I'm thrilled to say that the creator behind Elden Ring's most popular mod has finally set their sights on doing the same for Dark Souls 3 . Read the rest of the story...

• "I think we’ll be able to show you a new FromSoftware" - Elden Ring director Miyazaki on the multiple projects across different genres the studio's currently working on - 3 December 2024

  Sounds like there's plenty of good reasons to be a FromSoftware fan on the horizon, as studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has teased its future titles. Read more

• New Dark Souls 3 mod accidentally makes the game ten times harder - 19 March 2024

  A massive Dark Souls 3 mod just released its first demo, thereby adding more lore, a changed combat system, and even new enemies to the base game. As eager players jumped on the chance to try the Dark Souls: Archthrones mod, many of them have found the gameplay to be a little more challenging than they were hoping for - even for a Souls game.

• While you wait for Elden Ring's DLC, try out the demo for this Dark Souls 3 mod that's basically a new game - 17 March 2024

  We're still a few months out from the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree , but in the meantime, there's now a demo for an impressive looking Dark Souls 3 mod. Last month, after a two year wait, FromSoftware finally announced the release date for Shadow of the Erdtree. Unfortunately for all of us, it's still a few months away until the DLC actually releases, and there's only so many times you can replay the base game (that thing is massive, I haven't even seen all there is to see yet even now). But, if you're a PC player, there's a new mod on the way for Dark Souls 3, and it looks like a brand new game essentially. Titled Archthrones, this mod is described as "a retelling of the Dark Souls universe and comprehensive total game mod for Dark Souls 3 complete with its own lore that is informed by the deepest secrets of the Dark Souls mythos. New enemies, bosses, armour, weapons and…

• There's finally a demo for the Dark Souls 3 mod that transforms the whole game into a bizarro fan sequel to the series - 16 March 2024

  Dark Souls: Archthrones feels like a Souls series romhack, mashing up disparate parts of FromSoftware's body of work in a custom campaign for Dark Souls 3. This is one for the fans, full of clever winks and references to other games in the series, but as one of those fans myself, I sure do not mind being pandered to... Read more.

• Huge Dark Souls mod is like a new FromSoft RPG, and you can try it now - 15 March 2024

  Every time we get a new look at the enormous Dark Souls 3 mod, Dark Souls: Archthrones, it seems better and better. By combining the 2016 trilogy capstone's framework with original ideas and mechanics from other FromSoftware games, like Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the team responsible for the mod has made something that feels like a natural extension of the base game. Now, after years of hard work on the project, it's just hit its biggest milestone to date: releasing a free demo on Nexus Mods that you can play right this moment. Read the rest of the story...

• Dark Souls 3 overhaul mod inspired by Demon Souls gets demo release date - 13 March 2024

  After almost four years in development, Dark Souls 3 mod Archthrones is set to release a demo on March 15th. If you were unaware of said mod, it's a Patron-funded expansion that puts Dark Souls 3 on an alternate storyline in a way akin to Demon Souls, with a hub area home to five gateways that'll transport you to five worlds. If there was ever a reason to return to Dark Souls 3, this is probably it. Read more

• Massive Dark Souls 3 mod is finally getting a demo, and it's out soon - 11 March 2024

  As if playing through one of FromSoftware's many enormous, secret-filled, and tough as nails action games wasn't fulfilling enough already, enterprising modders have been hard at work creating a wildly in-depth new project meant to give players a fresh spin on the Dark Souls series. Dark Souls: Archthrones is a sprawling fan prequel to Dark Souls 3 that's been long in the making and has just announced the launch date for its first demo - all the better to help make the wait for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree a little easier to take.
