The final RPG to be produced by FromSoftware, before more recent fan favourites like Elden Ring, is ark Souls 3. With its grim yet intriguing atmosphere and severe yet rewarding fighting system, it is easy to see why the third installment was so highly regarded. Many of us have been waiting for a while for another game to be a legitimate rival for the best souls-like experience in the entire series, and now we could have one thanks to the impending Dark Souls 3 mod called Archthrones. The gorgeous reimagining will soon have a demo, and it will be enormous.
Bloodborne isn’t coming to PC any time soon, except maybe in Minecraft, and Elden Ring’s DLC is still in the works. Archthrones has taken some of the coolest features from both soulslike games as well as others to create a massive overhaul mod the creator has described as being “on a scale never seen before.” With five new distinct worlds accessed via the Nexus of Embers, Archthrones is bringing a variety of bosses, enemies, and explorable areas to die (over and over again) with.
The Archthrones demo will be available in September, every gamer’s favorite month. That’s right, soulslike fans can look forward to a lot more than just the Lies of P release date this fall. The mod’s creator has stated that the demo “will feel like its own game,” stating that players “will have plenty to do.” If you are interested in trying the expansive demo out yourself, you can find more information on the official Arthrones Patreon here.
