FromSoftware announced that PC servers for Dark Souls: The Prepared for Death Edition has been permanently taken offline, although the Remastered version will still be restored.
Also confirming that Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin’s PC server will be back up in ten months, FromSoftware said in a tweet (below) that Dark Souls’ infrastructure was initially simply too old to be supported at this point.
“We have determined that we will not be able to support online services for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare for Die Edition to be released in 2012, due to an aging system,” it said. “We apologize for the long wait and ask for your understanding in this matter.”
The Prepared for Death Edition is the original PC version of the game, coming out almost a year after the original console version.
Our sincere thanks to those who have been playing Dark Souls since its launch.
