Living rooms around the world are about to light up with the soft glow from their shiny new PS5 consoles. Many of those same living rooms will also play host to moans, gasps, and rogue shards of DualSense controller flying through the air with Demon’s Souls making its grand return.
The tough-as-nails RPG that started it all, Demon’s Souls was shrouded in obscurity for a long time before making its way west. Having read about it in an issue of OPM, I remember scouring eBay to import a Hong Kong copy which played in English – little did Demon’s Souls players know that it would snowball into a flurry of back-to-back stunners from developers FromSoftware.
This remaster comes from the fine folks at Bluepoint Games who recently gave us Shadow of the Colossus in 2018 – here’s why it’s still a masterclass in storytelling.
They’ve rebuilt Demon’s Souls in its entirety, including the list of trophies available for this PS5 remake. The original PS3 trophy was tough but straightforward, tasking players with slaying bosses and obtaining certain items. There’s some overlap here, plus some extra trophies for completing other activities such as multiplayer interactions.
