Demon\u2019s Souls remake confirmed for PlayStation 5 FromSoftwareClassic FromSoftware title Demon\u2019s Souls is getting a next-gen remake from Bluepoint Games on PlayStation 5, as revealed during Sony\u2019s \u201cThe Future of Gaming\u201d livestream. Souls enthusiasts will have plenty to get excited about when the PlayStation 5 launches, as Bluepoint Games is taking the fan favorite Demon\u2019s Souls and modernizing it for Sony\u2019s upcoming system. Now, fans will be able to complete the entire collection of Souls titles on modern consoles and, presumably, with online support just like when Demon\u2019s Souls first came out. Demon\u2019s Souls was originally released for the PlayStation 3 back in 2009. It\u2019s been over a decade since the game first hit consoles, but ever since it reared its head, it\u2019s been nothing but well-liked among though who gravitate toward challenging titles. It\u2019s certainly not a game for everyone, but for those who dallied within the confines of its austere environments, it\u2019s a veritable classic. Demon\u2019s Souls is being rebuilt \u201cfrom the ground up\u201d on PlayStation 5 For the uninitiated, Demon\u2019s Souls is considered the spiritual successor to FromSoftware\u2019s equally challenging King\u2019s Field series. Set in the kingdom of Boletaria, it follows a hero looking to slay the fallen king Allant in a bid to pacify a malevolent being called the Old One. Players must travel between multiple worlds via hubs, learning new mechanics and practicing combos to avoid certain death. The old multiplayer mechanics in the game consisted of intriguing player co-op and PvP combat, though the North American servers were finally shut down in February 2018. This removed all multiplayer functionality, messaging, and additional ways for players to interact with each other. This was a frustrating blow for players, until a group of hardcore games created their own private server. This brought back the online functions they sorely missed. With this Demon\u2019s Souls being \u201crebuilt from the ground up,\u201d it will likely bring back a refined version of the servers that were originally shut down, with Bluepoint Games taking point to bring the game to fruition. Here\u2019s hoping there isn\u2019t that long of a wait to get it in our hands once more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
