Ten years ago today, we got a taste of the pain FromSoftware wanted to deliver as we died and died again in Dark Souls. To mark the occasion, many fans are celebrating the game's milestone on social media.
This incredible Xbox 360 title changed the face of gaming forever, introducing players to a complex, challenging world filled with secrets and shortcuts to discover. It was unlike anything we played before and has spawned many other games replicating that formula. Titles such as The Surge and Lords of the Fallen have all done their best to embody the style, but nothing has come close to capturing the same magic.
Over on Twitter, fans around the world are sharing their Dark Souls experiences and love for the series. Even the official account has come out of hiding to commemorate the occasion.
Earlier this year, Dark Souls III received an FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S in which a brand new technique was implemented to make it possible. The result was a welcome improvement to an already fantastic game.
Those yearning for more Dark Souls magic will be happy to know Elden Ring is only a few short months away - barring any delays. We're ready to be hurt all over again.

One of the best games ever made. Despite playing, and loving, the original Demon's Souls Dark souls was just such a step forward and felt so fresh.
The land of Lordran felt so diverse and real. From the comfort of the Firelink Shrine to the majestic heights of Anor Londo and the murky depths of Blighttown every location felt truly unique. And then you'd find a lift and end up back at Firelink. Brilliant design all round.
Need to replay this soon.
Wow, how is it only 10 years? The fact that they've managed in that time to crank out DS2, DS3, BB and Sekiro and are close to shipping Elden Ring, that is mightily impressive.
It's almost like Resident Evil didn't have an iconic You Died screen 15 years before Dark Souls was a thing 🤔
And I remember it like yesterday. One of the last mid ight launches I went to. Last one being the original Xbox One launch.
If you pre-ordered at Games top you got a nice collector's tin for no extra. Still have it on my shelf to this day
I'm hoping Elden Ring brings back that magic I haven't felt since the original Dark Souls.

I assumed incorrectly that the original was on that HD collection. Seems weird that Playstation would have exclusive rights. 4 also never came to Xbox? Huh, go figure.
[T]/: if only I could be so grossly incandescent..
