New Dark Souls 3 Overhaul Has Everyone Ready to Play It Again

In terms of action RPGs, no series has surpassed Dark Souls in terms of quality. Although the third installment, Dark Souls 3, didn’t reach the same heights as its predecessors for some players, fans still appreciated its challenging battles, storyline, and setting. However, with time, it hasn’t aged as gracefully as we might have hoped, particularly in terms of visuals despite improvements since 2016. Yet, a dedicated fan has stepped up to rectify this issue by creating a new PC mod, which was released this week and significantly enhances the visual aspect of Dark Souls 3.

A user going by the name ‘fromsoftserve’ (a nod to Dark Souls’ developer FromSoftware) shared a YouTube video showcasing an impressive graphical upgrade for Dark Souls 3 on PC. The updated graphics align with recent FromSoftware games like Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon and Elden Ring, making the difference evident at first glance. The modder is renowned for their work on Dark Souls and related titles such as Bloodborne and Demon Souls. In the video’s description, a link to fromsoftserve’s Nexus Mods page with the necessary files to download the mod is provided. If you own Dark Souls 3 on your computer, this modification can significantly enhance the game’s visual appeal, bringing delight to longtime fans.

New Dark Souls 3 Mod Makes Game Look Incredible

Judging by the comments on fromsoftserve’s YouTube video, there appears to be widespread excitement about the visual upgrade. Some players are eagerly looking forward to revisiting Lothric for another playthrough, with many keen to give it a go during their next game session. A handful of commenters have asked for comparison videos, as they find it difficult to gauge what the standard version of Dark Souls 3 actually looked like. However, other comments praise the improved Anti-Aliasing and lighting effects.

Despite passing over a decade, enthusiasts yearn for their cherished video games to remain relevant with contemporary times. At times, this is to maintain the nostalgia and amusement that some current titles seem to lack. Other times, it’s intriguing to witness how iconic titles might appear with today’s graphics like Black Myth: Wukong and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Regrettably, the industry often responds unfavorably towards such adaptations, particularly if they significantly alter game components. In fact, just yesterday, a 60fps mod for Bloodborne was issued a DMCA takedown notice and halted distribution, despite fans cherishing any attention given to the title. Here’s hoping that fromsoftware’s work will continue to be accessible for fans to appreciate, at least until Elden Ring: Nightreign.

The video game “Dark Souls 3” can be purchased on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment, it’s discounted by 50% on Steam, making it available for only $29.99 (originally $59.99). In this game, you play as a personalizable hero called the Ashen One, whose mission is to prevent the world of Lothric from total annihilation. The Dark Souls series, just like all games by FromSoftware, is known for its challenging gameplay, where precision, timing, and strategy are crucial even when fighting the weakest enemies. And, much like its peers, “Dark Souls 3,” released in 2016, follows this trend of difficulty.
