Dark Souls 3 overhaul mod inspired by Demon Souls gets demo release date
rockpapershotgun.comAfter almost four years in development, Dark Souls 3 mod Archthrones is set to release a demo on March 15th. If you were unaware of said mod, it's a Patron-funded expansion that puts Dark Souls 3 on an alternate storyline in a way akin to Demon Souls, with a hub area home to five gateways that'll transport you to five worlds. If there was ever a reason to return to Dark Souls 3, this is probably it.
What I'm most impressed by - all of it impresses me, really - is how they've named things. Sometimes mods might nail the aesthetics but struggle to convey enemies and spaces with words - but not Archthrones. They've kept things close to the source material, which is to say simple and candid: Disgraced Knight, Demon Vanguard, Skeleton That Holds A Spiked Wheel And Spins Into You (the last one may not feature).
While there's no mention of it in the trailer, the devs have said that the mod will be "100% free", but you will need to own Dark Souls 3 and all of its DLCs in order for it to work.
