Souls fans rejoice, Demon’s Souls is coming to PS5. This surprise unveiling was revealed to the world during the PlayStation 5 game and console reveal event on June 11. Get your Eye Stones ready, because you’re going to need all the help you can get when the world tendency shifts.

Demon’s Souls is coming to PS5

Demon’s Souls, a title that was once exclusive to the PlayStation 3, is finally coming to a new platform. Though no exact release date was announced, the trailer gives an insight into the level of detail that players can expect from this remake. Please check out the trailer below!

For a lot of gamers like me, this is likely the major takeaway from the PlayStation 5 reveal event. It’s been a long time since the game was released on PS3 back in February of 2009. Since then, we all mourned the shutting down of the servers, which rendered a large chunk of the game (World Tendencies) essentially moot. It will be interesting to see whether this new version, which is considered a remake according to the PlayStation Blog, reinstates the enigmatic online system.

The effort to bring Demon’s Souls to a new generation of gamers is thanks to the efforts of Bluepoint Games and Japan Studio. Interestingly, From Software was not listed in the trailer or the YouTrube description.

One more important piece of branding is the PlayStation Studios logo, which indicates that the game comes from a Sony in-house studio. Whether this means it is a console exclusive remains to be seen, as the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding are both heading to PC sometime soon.

It’s a good day to be a Soulsborne fan. Perhaps this reveal is enough to tip some players over the line to purchase a PlayStation 5. Let us know in the Chatty thread below if this is the case for you. While you’re at it, check out the Demon’s Souls and PlayStation 5 page for ongoing coverage of Sony’s new console and its games.
