Two New Demon's Souls PS5 Screenshots Have Shown Up Alongside Placeholder Box Art

It's looks so good. Now I'll be even more scared of stepping through a fog gate.

Hope they recolour the title to the original colour though

This is a must buy for me.
Microsoft have missed out stupidly on game boxes.
The PS5 game boxes are new and different and say very clearly at the top PS5.
The Xbox for series x ones are the same boxes you buy the Xbox one version.
So in a shop visually you could even miss that Microsoft have launched a new console game box wise.
It’s the same with third party adverts and their poster adverts popping up now.
You can clearly see PS5 box. So new console new game PS5.
Xbox one box no real indication jumping out at you there is a new console.
Daft PR that is.

I wants it, I needs it.......... I MUST HAVE IT

Amazing box art.i like it a lot.cant wait for demon souls.word up son

Fingers crossed this is a launch title!

@Dezzy70 Well this is the company that called their second console the Xbox 360 because they thought if they called it the Xbox 2, people would think it was worse than the PS3. Then they called their next console the Xbox 1. 🤔

@IonMagus Depends. The original Japanese box art didn't have the external red glow, that was only really the NA box art. EU was a very white blue glow.

I think it looks fine as it is. The glow look is quite outdated nowadays, and the striaght white looks quite striking and clean.

The box art itself could definitely do with a change up though. Looks like a screenshot from the game.

Not feeling that box art.

I am looking forward to the game, though!

Can't wait. The only Souls game I've not played.

Boring box art. I miss the days of creative boxarts. The PS3 version was 100x better than this.

@Grindagger Oh, didnt know that! They used the purple glow/fog during the title reveal in the Trailer though

@IonMagus Yeah, was a nice homage to the original, I enjoyed the old school fog on the logo reveal as well. I hope they keep that feeling for the fog doors in the remake.

Oh my God I can't wait for this masterpiece!

My god my body is so ready for this!!!!!!

This is at the top of my list. If this is successful enough, hopefully we'll get a full-blown sequel as well.

Hype! Easily my most anticipated next gen game. Can't wait. Itching to get some more info on PS5 after the massive Xbox drops today - c'mon Sony! Finally feels like next gen is appraching.

@get2sammyb - iwas kind of hoping for DS gameplay at TGS

@BNAG_Gamer - i have the same addiciton!

@GilbertXI - exactly what i'm hoping for - sony owns the IP so they could have any of their 1st party studios do it if FROM doesn't want to make it.

I have said for a while now, even before the PS5 reveal event I expected Demon's Souls, GT7 and Ratchet & Clank to be launch games. I accept the global Pandemic might have altered launch schedules somewhat, but, I still expect to see all three games, and a few others, notably Spider-Man Miles Morales in the PS5 launch window. Nothing has convinced me that isn't going to be the case yet... and while those are static shots... boy does it look good.

@Matroska
Bless them, they always seem a confused bunch. 🤣.

@eddie429 I would prefer if from soft will make it of course, but I want them to focus on Elden Ring right now, I really want to hear more news about that.

I can almost smell the despair

@SirAngry To be honest, this is exactly how I feel. A lot of people have been saying Demon Souls won't be a release title, but, this would seem fairly illogical.

Demon Souls has yet to be experienced by probably a large portion of the fromsoftware gaming community that were either very young when demon souls came out on PS3, or weren't yet invested in the souls games.

Now this game has bridged a generation, and Sony I'm sure are aware of it's potential console shifting power, and in my estimation would of thought they would endevour to get this released on schedule for PS5 release in order to get as many people on board with the PS5 as humanly possible.

But I digress, not going to know anything until the lineup has actually been announced, however at this rate, we're more likely to have a tortoise finish the London Marathon before we hear anything prior to the console getting shipped.

Thank Christ that's placeholder art. That looks so mediocre.

@Grindagger I think Sony were always targeting a reveal before TGS, I just do. It's the 25th Anniversary of Ken Kuturagi's awful PowerPoint presentation at TGS soon, and I just wonder whether that was always the synergy. As to Demon's Souls? Blue Point have been working on it for 3 to 4 years if you believe CV's. I was allso hearing rumblings of a new R&C game 4 years ago now too. Returnal has apparently been a pet project for a few years at Housemarque and Polyphony Digital all but confirmed 5 years ago they were already prepping all their cars and models for next gen, so I think GT7 was always going to be a next-gen game. I'm convinced Sony plan on coming out swinging this generation.

@Kefka2589 Not sure of that's really a Nintendo lesson. The SNES is one of my favourite consoles and I've owned an N64, GC, Wii, Switch, GBA, GBA SP, DS, DS Lite, and a 3DS and even have a Famicom, so I'm not anti-Nintendo... But of Nintendo's 7 home consoles, only one has sold more than Sony's worst selling console. Even the Xbox One has sold more than most of their consoles and it seriously lacks exclusives.

I don't think it's just having good exclusives, it's also how few games the console lacks. From the N64 onwards, every Nintendo console has lacked at least 90% of games released. The Switch actually had decent third party support for a change and it's their best seller apart from the Wii. Still, not as good coverage as XB1 and PS4 or it'd have surpassed XB1's sales even more.

@playstation1995 did u ever play the original? I never did. If it was a launch game it would be the first one i get.

@ellsworth004. I beat demon souls on my ps3 7 years ago.its definitely easier than dark souls.you can buy 99 healing item on demon souls.and the levels generated into 1 and you go to the nexus your home base afterwards.i do hope they have new bosses.amazing games.especially as a mage.word up son

After the reveal I replayed the original Demon's Souls. Even after 5 successors it still plays great. It really is an amazing game and the world is blessed to have a new version to play.

Absolutely can not wait for this!!! Release at launch or before Xmas would be incredible!

@Dezzy70 Everything about the Series X/S from MS has been wrong: from the name, to launch line up and even marketing strategy (look how the Series S was mistakenly revealed the other night). They're in for an even worse gen this time

@GilbertXI - sure. me too. if DS 2 does happen, it wouldn't have been for at least 3 years - sorry if i made it seem like i expected it sooner. as far as elden ring - i'd just like SOMETHING - even a couple gameplay screens to indicate what it could be like.

Every time I see more Demon's Souls screenshots something in my brain just starts screaming: OH MY GOD IT'S SO PRETTY! WANT! NOW!

I hope that's not the actual final boxart

One of the most amazing games I've ever played. Can't wait to see how disgusting the Valley of Defilement is on PS5 😲

I've also got my fingers crossed that Bluepoint might do something with the giants' archstone, but that's probably hoping for too much.

@eddie429 I never expected it to come out for a while. If anything, we'll get a bloodborne sequel before DS 2. And even then, they'll release something else before even those two, whether it be another dark souls, Sekiro or a new IP. I don't even expect it to come out this generation.

It’s obviously place holder art. It is literally a screen shot.

@GilbertXI Elden Ring is their next big game. Demons Souls remaster is being developed by a different company.

@Arnna Yes I know that. Hence why I said Elden Ring is fromsofts top priority and that I don't expect to see, if anything, a demon souls sequel until next gen or late this gen.

I'm LMAO at all the Souls players who've never played Demons and think they're gonna roll up in the club owning noobs.
Got news for ya, all those janky ass cheats y'all used absolutely do not work in Demons. Roll with a strong magic build or you're gonna have a bad time, lol.

As a follow up, I'd strongly recommend new players read up on how invasions work and world/character tendency. Fextralife has a great wiki on this. If you don't understand how this works before you play you can seriously screw up your game and make it much harder on yourself. Or maybe that's what you want, hehehe...

@Oaktownslugger What's your point? It's a remake, Bluepoint's clearly going to change a lot of the jank from the original, to make it resemble dark souls more in terms of refinement of gameplay. And I don't know who you are talking too, but nobody in their right mind ever said a souls game will be easy. Unless they literally devote their life to the games.

If they remake Bloodborne with the same engine, it will look awesome.

This is the ONE game I´m so excited of that I can´t stand this wait!

This is surreal. As a hardcore FF7 fan, I still haven´t bought the remake. BUT THIS! I barely can keep my pants on!

Was going to hold off on buying a PS5 at launch but that will change if this is released on the same day.

@SmileyK it’s way more fun to go in blind! Still, the original game was far more obtuse than dark souls so I wouldn’t blame a gamer for getting confused
