Modders Are Creating a Sequel to ‘Dark Souls’ Called ‘Nightfall’
Grimrukh, the mind behind the popular Dark Souls mod Daughters of Ash, is at it again with another mod. This time, they’ve pulled together a team of other modders to make something ambitious: a whole new game built on top of Dark Souls called Dark Souls: Nightfall.
From what Grimrukh has revealed on their website, Nightfall is a direct sequel to Dark Souls that again uses “expanded lore”, but aims not to “clash” with the established lore of the main game. The mod will also use a new world map built with existing assets, tweaked enemy animations and textures, and will feature a “faster-paced combat system”.
Other modders collaborating on Nightfall include AinTunez and Meowmaritus, the latter of whom has shown off examples of modified enemy animations on Twitter. As for AinTunez, they’re responsible for the QuickSouls mod, which should give you an idea of what to expect with Nightfall‘s combat.
No word yet on when you can expect to play Nightfall, although Grimrukh does state that they’ll be looking for playtesters. And of course, they’ll be posting updates to their Twitter.
Finished a lot of the Azure Knight (Lance) custom enemy’s moveset, sounds, and visual effects. His AI is just random equal chance of each pattern right now but I’ll make him pick patterns more interestingly some other time I’m T I R E D pic.twitter.com/GlTKjog3MJ

Developer Harebrained Scheme gave those eager to check out their upcoming survival horror RPG GRAFT some much-welcomed meat in the form of a new story trailer. The trailer not only touches on the body horror aspect of the game, but also the relationship you share with someone you care about, and the potential consequences you face on your journey through structure known as The Arc.
Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station. The Arc is a continent-sized station that was once filled with biomechanically enhanced citizens, all working toward some greater purpose lost to time. Now the station is in ruins, its citizens now unrecognizable. And you have no idea how you got here.
In order to escape, you must tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.
However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat. Know when to fight, and manage your resources carefully in order to escape alive.
