DNA Brief

Signal Summary

The session was scheduled to begin at 11am BST, but users remained stuck at the main menu and repeatedly failed to connect. FromSoftware said it was aware of the issue and tried to resolve it, but the session ended before the problem was fixed; the source does not confirm whether the other weekend sessions will proceed.

Why It Matters

The cancellation changes the game’s immediate testing schedule before the first session could begin. FromSoftware has not provided a replacement schedule or confirmed whether it will add a session to make up for the one that was closed.
