Dark Souls modding project Nightfall promised it would act as a "direct sequel" to the game when it was first announced, and new footage shows the project living up to that promise.

Nightfall picks up right where Dark Souls left off, with the protagonist quickly coming upon the Kiln of the First Flame--the location of Dark Souls' final boss battle.
