A new fan mod for Dark Souls 3 has been released offering a complete overhaul of the game that promises “a retelling of the Dark Souls universe”.
Named Dark Souls: Archthrones, it’s been created by Archthrones Team and is available on NexusMods for free. The team comprises concept artists, writers, programmers, composers, and voice actors within the Souls community, according to its description.
Interestingly, it takes its cue from Demon’s Souls in terms of level structure – hence the mod name being a play on the Archstones of FromSoftware’s first Souls game.
Similarly, in Dark Souls: Archthrones players will be able to progress each throne in any order, no matter the difficulty. There are five worlds drawing inspiration “from the FromSoftware mythos”, with reinterpretations of iconic characters and areas from the whole trilogy.
