It's almost time to warm up by the fire again, and in 2009, Japanese developer FromSoftware, in collaboration with SIE Japan Studio, released "Demon's Souls" on the PlayStation 3. The adventure game was the spiritual successor to From Software's "King's Field" series, which pitted a single player against a harsh fantasy world. "Demon's Souls" was intended as a Japan-only game, but a small cult fan base in the West Atlus released the title in North America as well.

Demon's Souls served as a stepping stone to the Dark Souls series, which grew from a niche favorite to a mainstream masterpiece. Many of the elements that fans came to love about Dark Souls began here, including the gothic horror aesthetic, bonfires, and intense, challenging combat. Now, Bluepoint Games, the developer behind the remasters and remakes of "Uncharted," "Gravity Rush," and "Wanda and the Colossus," is releasing a full remake of "Demon's Souls" for the PS5.

Here is everything you need to know about the Demon's Souls remake, including release date, trailer, and deluxe edition information.

The Demon's Souls remake will be released on November 12, 2020, along with the PS5. It will be one of the biggest launch titles for the new console.

The Demon's Souls remake will have two trailers: the first is the original cinematic announcement trailer released this past June. In this trailer, many of the iconic bosses of Demon's Souls are shown updated, including the Tower Knight, Storm King, and Dragon God.

The second trailer was released at the PlayStation 5 showcase and features complete gameplay of the upcoming title. The trailer showcases the game's tutorial zone, which allows players to compare the remake to the original PS3 version on a one-to-one basis. The trailer also features the tutorial level boss, Vanguard, and then highlights other areas and encounters in the game.

It is clear from the gameplay trailer that Bluepoint Games has tried to keep the combat largely unchanged from the original Demon's Souls. The animations are much smoother and more fluid than in the PlayStation 3 version, and the dodge rolls appear to be much faster. There is also a slight use of jumping over moves that were not present in the original game. The environmental art and architecture is just stunning and is one of the better showcases of the PlayStation 5's power.

One of the pre-order bonus weapons, the Reaper's Scythe, is another weapon type that was not in the original game. So perhaps Bluepoint Games has an additional weapon, weapon type, or gameplay mode that has yet to be revealed. [The official Demon's Souls page clearly states that online play requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. Also, network players can range from two to six, which is more than the maximum number of multiplayer players in the original game; in Demon's Souls on PS3, players could summon two players to fight a hard fight or invade another player's game in PVP The game was The increase to up to six networked players points to an online mode that works more like Dark Souls.

In addition, according to official Sony documentation, there are two different graphics modes: a 4K resolution mode and a high frame rate mode that plays at 60 fps. Demon's Souls will also support PS5 features such as haptic feedback and 3D audio.

PS5 titles like "Spider-Man: Miles Morales" and "Horizon Forbidden West" will also be available on PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, you will not be able to play the Demon's Souls remake if you do not upgrade to PlayStation 5. Sony has confirmed that there will be no PS4 version of the game.

There are also unresolved issues regarding a possible PC release; according to a 2020 company report, Sony has expressed interest in a PC port following the Steam release of Horizon Zero Dawn. The company said in the report that it would "consider expanding 1st party titles to the PC platform to drive further growth in profitability."

The originally released trailer for the "Demon's Souls" remake acknowledged the existence of a PC version, but Sony later told Kotaku that it was a "human error." The updated trailer makes no mention of a PC release. Demon's Souls will not be released on PC and will remain a PlayStation 5 exclusive. With any luck, it could be a few years from now.

Also, since this is a Sony game, there will be no Xbox version.

When Sony revealed the full PlayStation 5, the company admitted that its first-party games would be priced between $49.99 and $69.99. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is at the lower end of that range, with Sackboy: Sackboy: A Big Adventure" is at the traditional standard price of $59.99, while "Demon's Souls" is at the top of the range.
