Dark Souls 2 Title Update Rebalances PvP, Includes Gigantic Host of Changes

July 11, 2014 by Ian Miles Cheong

An upcoming title update for Dark Souls 2 rebalances the game in a big way.

Praise the sun! The English language version of Dark Souls 2 is set to receive a new update that brings the game up to version 1.06. The patch is intended to balance the game’s PvP elements. 

Among the many changes listed in the update is the disabling of Health Recovery items while in PvP. Likewise, many weapons have been rebalanced as to not produce ‘abnormal’ amounts of damage that are the cause of one-hit kills. 

The online server will go into Maintenance Mode on Friday, July 18th following this schedule:

– PlayStation3 & STEAM versions:7/18 7:00 to 10:00AM GMT
– Xbox 360:7/18 7:00 to 11:00AM GMT

After the servers come back online, players will be prompted to download an update that brings the game up to version 1.06. 

Once users have downloaded and installed the updates, you will see the following displayed in the upper right corner of the Title Screen:

– PlayStation3 & Xbox 360 Ver: 1.06 Regulation: 1.08
– STEAM Ver: 1.04 Regulation: 1.08

The full list of fixes, changes, and improvements can be found at the game’s official website.

The title update is not to be confused with the 1.06 hotfix that was released way back in May for the Japanese version of the game.
