this is just my personal headcanon on all things, but heres my two bits:

The flow of time in Lordran is fucked up, Solaire explained as much in DS1, right? then why couldn't multiple futures all be fighting for "true-ness" as The Chosen Undead makes his choice after killing Gwyn? DS2 is one of these potential futures, where either The Chosen Undead failed, or got partly through his quest, before perishing or going hollow, leading to the world fading. The Big Bosses either faded with the world, or their powers continued to wane until they were killed by some soul hungry wanderer, we know there were plenty around the place.

The abyss spread, and consumed more and more; those who survived, survived, and those who didn't were swallowed up and corrupted, explaining the presence of some old bosses using hex magic, and others who may have obtained the watered down souls of lords. As well as some old friends from DS1 trapped in a primordial abyss
