Bluepoint Games, the developers behind the PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus, has announced its new PS5 game, a remake of the beloved FromSoftware PS3 exclusive, Demon’s Souls.

The long-rumored remake from Bluepoint was officially announced at today’s PlayStation 5 games reveal. Japan Studios is helping Bluebpoint in development.

Back in 2018, Bluepoint said that its next game, another remake, was going to be bigger than its ambitious Shadow remake. And back in one of the earliest PS5 reveals, we learned Bluepoint was in fact working on a PS5 game, however details have remained light since.

Demon’s Souls debuted in 2009, and while its popularity has not been as widespread as the Dark Souls series to follow, it was still heralded at its release, earning a 9.4 in our original Demon’s Souls review. Demon’s Souls remained popular  among fans long enough to have its online servers exist for years after launch, until the servers were shut off in 2018.

Bluepoint has frequently worked with Sony over the years on a number of remasters and remakes, including Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and Gravity Rush Remastered for PS4. For more on the studio’s last game, be sure to read our Shadow of the Colossus PS4 review.

Sony gave us our first look at a ton of PlayStation 5 games during its hour-long PS5 reveal event, but one of the biggest surprises was saved for near the end: a remake of From Software’s classic Demon’s Souls.

Originally released for PlayStation 3 back in 2009, Demon’s Souls is the precursor to the Dark Souls series. Much like the titles that would follow, the game is renowned for its blend of methodical combat and unforgiving difficulty.

Not many details were announced about the Demon’s Souls remake, but we did get a look at the updated graphics, and Sony confirmed it is being developed by Bluepoint Studios–which handled 2018’s Shadow of the Colossus remake–and Japan Studio.

Demon’s Souls was greeted with critical acclaim back when it first released. We gave the game a 9/10 in our original Demon’s Souls review and said, “This is an uncompromising RPG of the highest order–and a brilliant, atmospheric, and visionary one. It is at once old-fashioned and innovative, a stubbornly difficult dungeon crawler loaded with wholly unique mechanics.”

We got to see a ton of other PS5 games during the reveal event, including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Resident Evil VIII. You can catch up on more announcements in our PS5 reveal event recap.
