‘Demon’s Souls’ Remaster Not in The Cards For From Software, But Could be Done Elsewhere
Like many Dark Souls fans, you’ve probably cut your teeth (and pulled out your hair) while playing From Software’s PlayStation 3 precursor in Demon’s Souls. And while the main Dark Souls series has seen its success result in PlayStation 4 remasters, Demon’s Souls is left out of the fun. And seeing as the game turns the big 10 this year (why am I so old?), the question of why the game hasn’t received a remaster inevitably comes up.
When Game Informer asked From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki about a possible remaster of Demon’s Souls, he admitted that it wasn’t something that he was personally interested in doing. “It’s like when you write – when you’re younger, you look back on [previous work] and you think ‘Oh, goodness what was I thinking,’” Miyazaki said. “It’s not that I’m embarrassed, I just don’t like to look at my previous works.”
Also, the fact that Sony holds the rights to the game is a big obstacle.
Regardless of his personal interest, should the opportunity arise, Miyazaki is not opposed to another studio handling the remaster, provided that it’s done right.
“If it was a studio that really loved the original work and really put their heart and soul into realizing it again, then that’s something I would enjoy. But it’s really complicated because I have these fond memories. Thinking about the idea of a remaster gives me kind of butterflies in my stomach and makes me a little nervous, so it’s complicated. But I understand there are many users and many players and fans out there who really love Demon’s, so if that’s something they could accomplish with a studio that loved the work, then yeah, I’d be okay with that.”
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
