Dark Souls II has a specific reputation in the community, as Hidetaka Miyazaki was not the game director of the sequel (he was working on Bloodborne). Nevertheless, the project still has fans who periodically return to the game.
In 2026, the Return to Drangleic community event will be held again:
During the event, players return to Dark Souls II to relive the adventure. Newcomers will be able to master the most difficult zones, as veteran users will also connect to DS II.
Return to Drangleic will take place from February 27 to March 13, 2026. The Scholar of the First Sin version of the game is used.
