A massive 4K Dark Souls 3 texture pack has been released, aiming to overhaul every single texture in FromSoftware's 2016 action RPG.

　　Created by modder 'Bardo', this new 'Texture Improvement' package clocks in at more than 30GB. Over 5000 textures within the game have been enhanced by replacing those with either in-game high-res counterparts or manually created textures based on alternative in-game variations or colors. It's an ambitious effort that Dark Souls 3 PC players looking to further enhance their gameplay experience will surely appreciate. As noted by the creator of the mod, this package is expected to have only a minor impact on the game's performance.

　　"This mod aims to overhaul every single texture in the game', 'Bardo' writes. "I spent two weeks staring at over 5000 textures, replacing them with high-resolution counterparts found in the game files and manually recreating textures that only exist in alternative color schemes or variations. In total, over 1500 textures were edited and replaced. Finally, all textures were upscaled to 2k and 4k resolution, including half-sized normal maps."

　　Released in 2016 for PC and consoles, Dark Souls 3 is both terrifying and beautiful. Here's what we wrote in our review of the game:

　　My journey through Lothric to meet with the Lords of Cinder took me through unforgettable vistas and resulted in more than a few sleepless nights where all I could think about was pushing through another corridor, seeking out another bonfire. It’s an experience that the established Souls fans already know they can’t miss, while for those curious about Dark Souls, eager to discover what all the hype is about, this is the perfect starting point. It might not be everyone’s favorite Souls game, but it just might be mine and I can guarantee that Dark Souls III will dominate more than a few Game of the Year lists in 2016.
