FromSoftware has temporarily shut down online multiplayer for Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3, citing a "server issue," PC Gamer reported Friday. The studio did not disclose the nature of the problem or a timeline for bringing the services back.

The vagueness will sound familiar to series veterans. Dark Souls multiplayer on PC was previously offline for the better part of a year starting in early 2022 after a security vulnerability was discovered, and FromSoftware was similarly sparing with details during that outage.

For now, co-op summons, invasions and covenant play are off the table in both games while the servers are down. Single-player is unaffected, but players who rely on jolly cooperation — or who make a sport of ruining someone else's run — will have to wait for word from FromSoftware on when the connections come back.
