Demon’s Souls, the spiritual predecessor to Dark Souls, and action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware for the Playstation 3 in 2009 is being remade for the Playstation 5 by Bluepoint Games.
Demon’s Souls is set in the kingdom of Boletaria, which is beset by a dark being called the Old One, who was released upon Boletaria accidentally through the use of outlawed Soul Arts. Players assume the role of a protagonist whose mission is to quell the Old One and kill Boletaria’s fallen king, Allant. The gameplay, like its successor Dark Souls, revolves heavily around players formulating their own strategies and skills through trial and error and myriad character deaths.
According to an official Playstation blog post, “in addition to beautiful shadow effects and ray tracing, players can choose between two graphics modes while playing [Demon’s Souls]: one focused on fidelity, and one focused on frame rate.”
What do you think of the Demon’s Souls PS5 remake? Let us know in the comments.
Ninja Gaiden was my rite of passage at an early age. After finally beating that game (and narrowly dodging carpal tunnel) I decided to write about my gaming exploits. These days I enjoy roguelikes and anything Pokemon but I'll always dust off Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country and StarFox 64 from time to time to bask in their glory.
