Despite largely considered to be the black sheep of the franchise, I must confess that I absolutely love Dark Souls 2. I would, in fact, perhaps go as far as to say that it’s my personal favorite. Yes, I think Dark Souls 1 has better boss fights and Dark Souls 3 is the most polished, but there is just something about the second release that retains a very special place in my heart. – Despite your personal feelings about it though, there was, generally speaking, one consistent complaint from the community. Namely, that the lighting effects in the game were pretty poor. Well, following a report via DSOGaming, it looks like despite the title now being over 7 years old, one modder is now trying to fix that problem for good!
Currently in development by modder ‘Stayd’, the ‘Lighting Overhaul Mod’ is, as the name might’ve suggested, trying to significantly improve the visual illuminations from Dark Souls 2 which, as noted above, even I would agree are not the best.
Based on the screenshots revealed here, however, it’s impossible to deny that the work they have done is amazingly impressive!
With this currently being a work-in-progress, while what’s shown here is amazing, the news does get even better. Why? Well, apparently ‘Stayd’ is also considering tinkering with a lot more including shadows, texture mapping, and all manner of other eye-candy enhancements! – Put simply, by this time this mod is released, Dark Souls 2 will have never looked this gorgeous before!
At the time of writing the mod has not been finished and, as such, is not available to try out yet. – If you are, however, impressed with what you see in these images, you can show ‘Stayd’ some love by checking out the following links:
