Bluepoint Games and [PlayStation Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-of-tsushima) have joined together to reintroduce 'Demon's Souls,' an [action-packed role-playing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-duskbloods) that was first launched back in 2009.

Updated for the [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered), the remake follows the same story as the original, but gives the graphics and performance a makeover so that it's ready for the next-gen console. Known for its challenging combat and unforgiving gameplay, Demon's Souls has remained a popular RPG among fans of the genre over the past 11 years. By rebuilding the original game from the ground up, Bluepoint Games and PlayStation Studios revive the classic for both long-time fans and new gamers.

The Demon's Souls remake is a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and will be available starting November 2020.
