Return to Lordran is running until January 20, so now is the ideal time to head back to Dark Souls, or try it for the first time.
Lordran, the dusky, desolate world of the original Dark Souls, is a famously punitive place. The gruelling atmosphere extends to the game’s optional multiplayer, which enables other players to ‘invade’ your game and ambush you for your hard-earned resources. Now, years after the game’s debut, fans turn to the community to give both returning veterans and fresh blood the same sense of unease and competition that they experienced back at launch.
According to Cody, the first Global Restart Day for Dark Souls occurred in 2016. “The first major hurdle with Global Restart Day was getting everyone excited for such an event,” they say. “That’s not to say it didn’t catch the attention of people on Reddit, as it did, but that was the problem: it only caught the attention of people on Reddit.”
It’s easy to see how this sort of event could foment stress—there’s a reason that community management is a paid position. Still, speaking with participants, the effort is definitely appreciated. That’s because for many fans of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s work, the multiplayer components of Dark Souls make an indelible contribution to the tone and themes of the game, and the lack of activity robs new players of that experience.
KillerKram concurs. “A few of my friends picked up Dark Souls in a sale and I told them about this event. They are currently trying to get through it with me as a guide. Having invasions and such is cool for reminding them that Dark Souls is a dangerous and unforgiving place.“I went through as a cleric for the first time, and it was a cool experience to not just be a damage dealer but to really tank and heal,” KillerKram adds.
