Modder ‘fromsoftserve’ has been working on a major graphics overhaul mod for Dark Souls Remastered, called Dark Souls Re-Remastered. And today, after 8 months and over 1000 hours of work, this mod reached its V1.0 version.

While the mod can now be considered complete, fromsoftserve will still release some updates for it. My guess is that these updates will fix some issues that passed under the modder’s nose.

Dark Souls Re-Remastered adds dynamic shadows to every map. For those unaware, most DS1 shadows were baked in it. So, this mod adds dynamic ones which are far more accurate and include way more objects too. Additionally, the mod restores the PTDE lighting to every map. Not only that but it upscales almost every texture, most of which are ported from PTDE. That’s both for environments and armors/weapons. Thus, the game will now look sharper.

It’s also worth noting that Dark Souls Re-Remastered generates new normal maps for most surfaces, and adds parallax occlusion mapping to more surfaces. It also brings better water reflections and better distant geometry.

And that’s not all. The mod adds more grass in Undead Burg, Firelink Shrine, and other places. It also fixes mesh holes that were present in many mappieces. Shadows are now of higher resolution, and there is better AO on the player lantern. Finally, the mod adjusts the Depth of Field effect so it’s closer to how PTDE used it.

In short, this is a must-have mod for everyone who wants to replay Dark Souls Remastered. So, make sure to download it from this link.

In theory, this mod should be compatible with this massive gameplay overhaul mod we shared in May 2023. This mod tweaked weapons, enemy AI, movesets, maps, stats, quests, and pretty much every single other aspect of the game. Dark Souls: Remastest V2.0 is another amazing mod that adds Halo: Combat Evolved weapons, new MP maps, special attacks and more to the game. And lastly, there is a mod that brings to the game the armors from Dark Souls 2.

Speaking of Dark Souls, I also suggest downloading the demo of Dark Souls: Nightfall. Nightfall is a complete fan-made sequel to Dark Souls with new bosses, combat mechanics, characters, and world design. Sadly, though, there is still no word on when it will fully come out.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
