Recently, PC servers from three dark soul matches were taken offline because of the potential risk of cyberatack.
The game includes a dark soul 3, dark soul 2 and dark soul: remaster.
Now, the developer from Software has an update and it’s not too encouraging for players.
The PVT server from the Dark Souls game will remain offline until the release of Elden Ring, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco announced.
Which until February 25 was at least because that was the planned release date of the Elden ring.
Getting the right testing environment and ready to take time, according to the developer and because that the server can return online only after the elden ring release.
According to a report by VGC, exploitation in three Dark Souls games can allow hackers to take control of PC players remotely.
The report also said that the vulnerability on the online game server was there for some time and was first reported by a 3 streamer’s dark soul using the name ‘The_grim_Slear’.
But the report did not get a reply from the developer.
Then, streamer tried another nail, and reported “drain exploitation and take over the PC itself, using the narrative application to read several texts to prove how easy it controls the system”, which brings problems to the attention of the developer.
As a result, the server is taken offline.
