Dark Souls is an action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Namco Bandai Games. A spiritual successor to FromSoftware's Demon's Souls, the game is the second installment in the Souls series. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Japan by FromSoftware in September 2011 and worldwide by Namco Bandai Games in the following month.

In August 2012, the "Prepare to Die" edition of Dark Souls was released for Microsoft Windows, featuring additional content previously unavailable to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users. In October 2012, the additional content from the Windows version was released as downloadable content for consoles under the subtitle Artorias of the Abyss. Dark Souls takes place in the fictional kingdom of Lordran, where players assume the role of a cursed undead character who begins a pilgrimage to discover the fate of their kind.

Dark Souls received critical acclaim upon its release and is considered to be one of the best video games ever made, with critics praising the depth of its combat, intricate level design, and world lore. However, the game's difficulty received mixed reviews. While some praised the challenge it provides, others criticized it for being unnecessarily unforgiving. The PC version of the game was less well-received, with criticism directed at numerous technical issues. By April 2013, the game had sold over two million copies worldwide. A remastered version of the game, titled 'Dark Souls: Remastered, was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows in May 2018 and will be released for the Nintendo Switch later the same year. A sequel to the game, Dark Souls II, was released in 2014.

A remastered version of the game, titled Dark Souls: Remastered, was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows on in May 2018, with a Nintendo Switch version slated for Q3 2018. The remaster was ported by the Polish studio QLOC, whereas the Nintendo Switch version is being developed by Virtuos. On the PlayStation 4 Pro, the Xbox One X, and Windows, the game supports a 4K resolution, with a 1080p resolution on regular PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems. It runs at a native frame rate of 60 frames per second (fps) on every platform but the Nintendo Switch, which runs at 1080p (or 720p in handheld mode) and 30 fps. A variety of changes have been made to the online multiplayer, including the addition of dedicated servers, the maximum number of players online increased from four to six, and the addition of password matchmaking, which was first introduced in Dark Souls III.

Dark Souls has a minimalistic plot. Historical events in this world and their significance are often implicit and left to player interpretation rather than fully shown or explained. Most of the story is given to the player through dialogue from characters within the game, flavor text from items, and world design.

The opening cutscene establishes the premise of the game. Long ago during the Age of Ancients, the world was shrouded by grey fog and ruled by dragons. In this time period, a powerful mystic fire known as the First Flame erupts from the earth and brings with it souls, the essence of all life. The Lord Souls, the most powerful of the souls, were claimed by the first Lords, Gravelord Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and Gwyn, who use their power to defeat the dragons and build great kingdoms, beginning the Age of Fire. Over time, the flames begin to fade with the rise of humans, and Gwyn sacrifices himself and his soul to prolong the Age of Fire. With the flame artificially rekindled, the Undead Curse begins to plague humanity, causing certain humans to continually resurrect upon death.
