with his arrival Autumn Winter 2021The world of video games is preparing for a new invasion of gaming. Not that this summer doesn’t give us the gift of a myriad of quality releases, but as always, the last quarter will be the most intense of the titles, especially if you think in terms of AAA productions of famous epics.
What are we talking about? The quick list should include names like Far Cry 6, Halo Infinite, FIFA 22, Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl, Forza Horizon 5, Deathloop, Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker, Just Dance 2022, Age of Empires 4, Dying Light 2. And if we want, we can add versions of GTA 5 and Skyrim, which will again be a great success.
However, the writer first and foremost expects a free game (Really free, not “cash free”): Dark Souls Nightfall. If you don’t know what it is, the quickest explanation is “Modification from the First Dark Souls”, but these few words don’t do it justice.
Dark Souls Nightfall is basically a file full sequel From the famous work of Hidetaka Miyazaki (a direct sequel, as opposed to Dark Souls 2 which takes us to another “cycle”). Starting at the dark end of the game, we will be a new character who finds himself in a distorted version of Lordran. We’ll have new bosses, enemies, regions, characters (with custom lore and voice acting), and a new combat system (we know it might make someone turn their noses up).
Obviously, a high-quality product cannot be expected from a mod, especially considering the many add-ons just listed. At the same time, we suggest not to immediately classify this project as a small experiment by casual enthusiasts that is set to fall into fast limbo. behind our night A number of famous depositors and creators In the niche of Dark Souls, who are constantly working on creating mods and hacks for the game.
So the hope is that this project to some extent from Modify King of Dark Souls, almost a batch of a huge, beloved act that should have ended with Dark Souls 3.
Obviously, the excitement is also due to the quality of the core game which, even after years, manages to be one of the funniest games in the genre. Nighfall also proves how awesome it was Miyazaki’s work effect In the gaming world, in case the word “like spirits” wasn’t a sufficient factor for you to prove the value of the Dark Souls legacy.
And if you thought the interest in Nightfall was actually limited to a small group of fans, know that the release date teaser brags about it. 930,000 viewsOr, in other words, close to a million. We are confident that this mod will be downloaded more than some of the free games out there right now.
It does not hurt to file Exit date It is December 21, 2021, exactly one month before the Elden Ring. Symbolically, we’ll have time to play the action that gave birth to the genre (forgive us King’s Field and demon spirits, but we all know Dark Souls has the bulk of the credit) and then move on to its newest form. It would be fun to live these two experiences side by side.
Yes, we are sure that on an objective level, most of the new games coming out in the coming months will be more worthy of your attention, but that A combination of the effect of nostalgia and novelty From Dark Souls Nightfall the book has already conquered by now.
