Demon's Souls: New Trailer, Everything We Know About The PS5 Launch Title


Demon's Souls released all the way back in 2009/2010 on the Playstation 3, and served as a precursor to the popular Dark Souls series.

The Dark Souls series didn't get the mainstream popularity it has until a while after its release.

Because of this, many people haven't had the chance to experience Demon's Souls, the game that started it all.

Despite not releasing until November 12th, it was announced the game had gone gold on September 24th 2020.

"Going gold" means that the game is complete and the publishers have a copy of the game that is ready to be manufactured and shipped to stores.

Haptic feedback is also being intergrated into the game, this will allow players to feel their swords clash against shields.

3D audio will also be utilised in the game too, to give a more immersive experience when trying to survive.

Some of the UI elements have been tweaked to enhance the overall player experience.

The games morality system, World Tendency, was never really fully explained in the original, but it has been overhauled and made much clearer in the remake.

There will also be no difficulty options for the games, what you see is what you get, and prepare to struggle a lot.

The Souls series is known for its extreme difficulty curve, leaving new players to frustratingly get killed by enemies hundreds of times, often with long back tracks from their respawn point.
