Dark Souls Remastered Update Takes Aim at Cheaters

A patch is coming for Dark Souls Remastered to fix several issues, some bugfixes pertaining to the game in general and others related to specific platforms.

The remastered version of the first Dark Souls game has been out for a few months now with the most recent update going scheduled to go live soon to bring the series of bugfixes to all players. Servers for Dark Souls Remastered will be offline throughout the time that the update is applied with the full schedule of maintenance times seen through Bandai Namco's Dark Souls site.

Also included in the announcement were the full patch notes to detail everything that's happening when the update goes live. You can see all of those below along with the platform-specific bugfixes that are included in the update. You'll notice that one of the changes released for all platforms makes it more difficult to cheat in the game, something that should cut down on any foul play going on in the game's PvP feature.

Patch 1.03 for Dark Souls: Remastered will be released for #PS4 #Xbox1 and #Steam on July 11, 2018. Game servers will be offline during the patch release, but offline play will be available.

This tweet thread will be updated with more information shortly.
