A new mod just dropped for Dark Souls 2, and it’s all about making the game look even more stunning! Created by the talented modder ‘fromsoftserve,’ this mod introduces Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM) to various surfaces. Plus, it’s upscaling albedo textures, which means the visuals are getting a serious upgrade!
The mod currently improves several key areas in the game:
- Things Betwixt
- Majula
- Heide’s Tower
- No man’s wharf
- Lost Bastille
- Harvest Valley
- Forest of the Fallen Giants
- Huntsmans Copse
- Most of Brightstone Cove Tseldora
- Doors of Pharros
Many fans have mixed feelings about Darks Souls 2, but trust me, this mod could change your mind! While fromsoftserve plans to cover even more areas in future updates, there’s no set timeline just yet. If you’re curious and want to try it out, head to this link for download!.
If you’re exploring back into Dark Souls 2, don’t miss out on some other amazing mods that can improve your experience even further! For instance, check out The First Sin InfiniDetail Mod, which tackles texture LOD pop-ins and boosts draw distance. And then there’s the Scholar of the Second Sin Visual Overhaul Mod. Though, you can only use one at a time since they overlap in features.
This is exciting stuff! The potential visual improvements from these mods might reignite some love for DS2 among skeptics. Honestly, if you’ve been thinking about revisiting Lordran or exploring it for the first time, I recommend giving these mods a shot.
