Demon's Souls

Boletaria rebuilt

Released on 12 November 2020 on PS5 according to the French PlayStation Store, at the console's launch, Demon's Souls keeps the structure and difficulty of the original: a kingdom engulfed by a demonic fog, five worlds linked by the Nexus and demanding fights where every death is costly. Visuals, sound and loading times are fully rebuilt for PS5.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (10/10) finds it hard to imagine a better remake: it is still Demon's Souls, runs great and looks superb, with an outstanding score, first-rate sound design, insane attention to detail and drastically reduced load times; its only quibbles are a bland user interface and a Tower of Latria that doesn't sound as good. VGC (5/5) calls it the best-looking console game ever, with iconic gameplay that has never felt better and a gripping atmosphere, despite a few technical hiccups.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026, with no sale: on the PlayStation Store the game costs €79.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition €99.99. It is also included in PlayStation Plus, which is not counted here.

Who is it for?

Fans of demanding Souls-like games who want to discover or revisit the series' founding entry. Players looking for an accessible adventure may be put off by the difficulty.
