Probably the most notable new mechanic is the time loop system inspired by Majora’s Mask. More benefits may appear during the full game. While on, players will be able to perform a fully invincible teleport dash, but can no longer heal. Gwyn’s shade acts as a sort of stance that players can turn on and off. Nightfall’s new mechanics give it an identity separate from Dark Souls. Nightfall is due out on January 21, 2022, and promises to be a new Souls game all its own. Along the way, they will encounter new voiced NPCs, enemies, bosses, items, areas, and mechanics. Players control another Hollow from the Undead Asylum who finds a katana and joins with Gwyn’s shade after his death. It starts immediately after the Dark Lord ending of DS1and tasks players with averting the oncoming Age of Dark.

However, it appears nothing will be quite as transformative as Dark Souls: Nightfall. Another line of mods can randomize the enemies, items, NPCs, fog walls, and dialogue of a given title. It seems it’s become a trend to make transformative experiences out of these titles, such as one mod that turns Dark Souls 3 into a Dynasty Warriors game. Plenty of mods exist for the trilogy, and more have been made for Sekiro and the console-exclusive Bloodborne as well. In the meantime there are new ways to experience the Dark Souls games already. Fans are ready to receive a new game, and they will get to dissecting, modifying, and talking about Elden Ring as soon as it comes out in February 2022. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro have reached hundreds of thousands of people, and given the strong response to its beta, it’s not hard to imagine that Elden Ring will be strengthened by this community as well. FromSoftware’s fan community is nothing if not busy, whether it be working through the mysteries of Souls-like games, finding new paths through them, or making art and other works inspired by FromSoftware’s games.
