Dark Souls, the iconic action RPG, has been given a retro makeover with a new mod called Pixel Souls: Demastered. Created by thegreatgramcracker and available on Nexus Mods, this mod transforms the game into a pixel art delight. It includes revamped textures, icons, fonts, visual effects, and even deliberately downgraded music and sound effects to capture a classic, pixilated aesthetic. The modding community, renowned for its creative spins on FromSoftware's games, is embracing this nostalgic twist on a beloved favourite.

FromSoftware's titles, including the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the recent Elden Ring, are frequently modified with innovative and sometimes whimsical changes by fans, enhancing replayability and community engagement. Mods can range from turning all enemies into one particularly difficult boss to crossing over with other popular media franchises or altering the visual style.

Elden Ring in particular has sparked the modding community's imagination, with various fan-made modifications integrating elements from Star Wars, One Piece, Hollow Knight, and The Legend of Zelda, along with mods that modify gameplay experiences by changing boss fights and in-game dynamics. The passion and creativity of the modding community continue to offer gamers new ways to enjoy their favorite FromSoftware titles long after their release.
