Five new worlds to get stuck into
After almost four years in development,Dark Souls 3mod Archthrones is set to release a demo on March 15th. If you were unaware of said mod, it’s a Patron-funded expansion that puts Dark Souls 3 on an alternate storyline in a way akin to Demon Souls, with a hub area home to five gateways that’ll transport you to five worlds. If there was ever a reason to return to Dark Souls 3, this is probably it.
What I’m most impressed by - all of it impresses me, really - is how they’ve named things. Sometimes mods might nail the aesthetics but struggle to convey enemies and spaces with words - but not Archthrones. They’ve kept things close to the source material, which is to say simple and candid: Disgraced Knight, Demon Vanguard, Skeleton That Holds A Spiked Wheel And Spins Into You (the last one may not feature).
While there’s no mention of it in the trailer, the devs have said that the mod will be"100% free", but you will need to own Dark Souls 3 and all of its DLCs in order for it to work.
