TheDemon’s Soulsremake for thePlayStation 5could be a launch title for the upcoming next-generation console.
Demon’s Souls, a remake of the 2009 PS3 title, was one of several games featured at the PS5Future of Gamingshowcase, which officially revealed the system and previewed some of its highlight titles. While gamers caught glimpses of gameplay and developers divulged more information after, release dates are among people’s most burning questions. However,Demon’s Soulsmight be set for a November release.
The game was officially rated in South Korea on August 13, making it the second Korean-rated PS5 game behindSpider-Man: Miles Morales, according to Gematsu. WithMiles Moralesbeing one of the PS5’s confirmed launch titles, this suggestsDemon’s Soulsmay be destined for a similar launch date.
More evidence indicates a holiday release forDemon’s Souls, Gematsu points out. Traditionally, PlayStation titles were rated in South Korea two to three months before their release.Days Gonewas rated in January 2019 before its April 2019 release,Death Strandingwas rated in September 2019 preceding its November 2019 release, andThe Last of Us Part IIwas rated in March 2020 before its June 2020 release.

While game details remain in question, includingnext-generation game prices, there is still information about the PS5 thatpeople want to know. The console is scheduled for a holiday release, though Sony hasn’t given an exact date yet, and while many expect thecost of the consoleto be in the $500 to $600 range, the price of the system hasn’t been confirmed.
