After two weeks of multiplayer downtime, Dark Souls 2 & 3's mysterious server "issue" has been fixed, so it no longer feels so lonely online

Developer FromSoftware has announced that online multiplayer servers for Dark Souls 2 and 3 are back online following a nearly two-week outage.

FromSoftware temporarily disabled multiplayer on 30th October, citing what it called "a server issue". Some speculated this could be related to the recently discovered PHP security bug, which impacted a number of other games.

FromSoftware never specified the exact issue impacting its servers, and today's statement is equally vague. "Regarding the temporary suspension of the game server for Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3, the investigation has been completed and the fix has been applied. The game server and online features are now restored," a notice on Dark Souls' official site reads.
