Dark Souls 3 Total Conversion Reveals Steam Deck Footage of Mystery Zone

Archthrones, the ambitious Dark Souls 3 mod, has revealed captivating footage of a mysterious new area, "The High Lord's Temple," running smoothly on Valve's handheld console, the Steam Deck.

Remixing Dark Souls Lore

Unlike the original game's eerie catacombs, The High Lord's Temple is a warmly-lit citadel against a bright sky, featuring encounters with robed apparitions instead of the usual skeleton enemies. The area's standout feature is a grand bell, suggesting potential gate openings or boss summons, creating an intriguing environment for Dark Souls enthusiasts.

The showcased Steam Deck gameplay demonstrates smooth performance, though the handheld's 800p resolution may not offer optimal visual fidelity on larger monitors. Nevertheless, Archthrones' compatibility with the Steam Deck offers an exciting on-the-go Dark Souls experience.

Where to Find Updates

While Archthrones lacks a set release date, updates can be found on its Twitter and YouTube pages. The project's commitment to reimagining Dark Souls 3 promises a captivating addition to the gaming community, providing an alternative experience for fans eagerly awaiting FromSoftware's Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

For additional Soulsborne excitement, the Nightfall mod for the original Dark Souls is another promising total conversion to watch.
