The server for the Dark Souls series has been offline for PC players for months due to a remote code execution exploit that could let hackers take over your computer, but developer FromSoftware is in the process of restoring the server, according to a PC Gamer article published Friday.

FromSoftware told PC Gamer in an email that they are restoring the online service for Dark Souls on PC. As soon as the restoration schedule is finalized, we will provide more updates. We would like to thank our players for their patience and understanding as we work to fix this issue.

When we asked Hiro Ito if Dark Souls 3 would be the first game to have its server restored, he said it would be. It's not clear when the restoration will begin.

On February 9th, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco said in a post that they had identified the cause of the issues and were working on fixing them. The necessary security measures are in place for Elden Ring on all target platforms, according to the two companies.
