Stayd is an artist and graphics programmer, and they intend to bring these enhancements to all areas of the game. We may not have to wait for that, however, because modder Stayd is working on replicating the original lighting model using the Scholar of the First Sin edition on PC. That impressive lighting engine sadly didn't end up making it into the final game, but fans have always wondered if someday, a new FromSoftware game would be a able to replicate it. When the game was originally introduced, the developer showed an impressive, next-gen lighting system.ĭark areas were supposed to be a major component of gameplay, with players having to equip a torch just to be able to navigate them. If you've been following FromSoftware's work, you should be very familiar with the Dark Souls 2 downgrade debacle. Dark Souls 2's dreaded lighting may one day return to its glorious first showing.
