Back in February 2021, we informed you about Dark Souls: Nightfall. And today, Team Nightfall announced the release date for its fan sequel to Dark Souls. Additionally, the team released a new teaser trailer that you can find below.
Dark Souls: Nightfall is a direct, fan-made sequel to Dark Souls with a new story, new combat system, new world map, and more. The good news here is that this is strictly a single-player mod. Furthermore, Nightfall will prevent the game from connecting to the official servers. Now the reason I’m saying this is good news is because you won’t have to worry about a potential ban. Since the game won’t connect to the servers, you won’t receive any penalty/ban for playing it.
Do note though that this mod will be exclusive to Dark Souls: Remastered.
As the team noted:
“We would want to extend the mod to PtDE as well, but there are technical limitations inherent to PtDE that make it unable to support some of the ambitious changes Nightfall is implementing.”
Speaking of Dark Souls Remastered, you may be also interested in the following mods. There is a 6GB HD Texture Pack that overhauls maps, objects and enemies. There is also another graphics mod that improves the fog, lighting, light scattering, shadows, color correction and contrast of all areas. Additionally, this Ultra HD Texture Pack adds more than 100 high-quality 4K textures.
Dark Souls: Nightfall will release on December 21st.
Enjoy!

ubisoft: we’ll take it down.. oh wait, this is not our game..
Making mods for the worst version of a game. Oof cringe
? The first darksouls is the best one
Maybe for some mods, but those keyboard controls where a real struggle.
What I think they meant is that the remaster is total garbage compared to the original version combined with dsfix or mousefix.
dsfix didnt work for me back then, you telling me the remaster is worse?
It has some bugs and the new lighting messes with the intended look of some places, there’s also an issue where ambient sounds fail to load when changing areas requiring you to reload.
Retry DSfix now, it should work without any issue, i remember having crashes when i load a save with it but then i disabled in-game AA and everything worked fine.
Also try Morten242s GUI for DSfix, so you’ll be able to tune settings without messing with the INI file and most importantly it gives informations on each settings and how they should be used properly, just point at the option and wait for the tooltip

No it is not, even with dsfix the game runs like garbage in certain areas due to the poor optimization.
Unless you live for mods, the remaster is the de facto version for playing the game with no performance issues.
If this is a direct sequel, which path does it take? Was the fire rekindled or not? Was it solaire or the hollowed? I need to know. More dark souls is a good thing.
Say what you want, but I think it’s really neat that folks are still supporting PSOne in 2021.
