On February 9, 2022, publisher Bandai Namco announced that developers from FromSoftware had begun fixing an RCE vulnerability in the network code for the Dark Souls trilogy for PC. PvP servers for Dark Souls III, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls: Remastered for PC are expected to be restored after the release of Elden Ring in late February or later. The developers still need time to fully resolve the problem and all the checks.

For nearly two weeks, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have remained silent on the matter. Now the FromSoftware developers have explained that they have localized the cause of the problem in the network code and are releasing a patch. According to them, Elden Ring is protected from this vulnerability both in the PC version and on consoles.

The publisher Bandai Namco did not name the exact launch date for the online servers of the Dark Souls trilogy for PC. The release date for Elden Ring has not changed - February 25th.

On January 23, 2022, FromSoftware developers shut down all Dark Souls Trilogy PC servers. This was due to the fact that a vulnerability was discovered in games that allows you to remotely run code on a PC and gain access to the system, including installing and running malware on it. The hackers who discovered the vulnerability had previously tried several times to contact the developers and sent them data about the problem. After that, they made working exploits based on them and demonstrated their work publicly so that developers would pay attention to them and eliminate these problems in games. The hackers were revealed that the exploit could also work in other FromSoftware games that use a similar engine, such as Elden Ring.

On February 2, media outlets reported that publisher Bandai Namco had been aware of an RCE vulnerability in the Dark Souls trilogy since 2020, but did nothing to fix it.
