It’s unclear exactly what kind of game Little Devil Inside is, but the debut trailer shown during the PS5 reveal event shows two stories playing out simultaneously. One part of the trailer is about a knight who is exploring some kind of hostile world, while the other is of an old man living an aristocratic life in Europe.
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.
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.”
Astro’s Playroom has been announced at the Sony PS5 reveal event.
The game is a new platformer featuring Astrobot, and the brief snippet of gameplay showed off a beach segment with plenty of classic style jumping and coin jumping.
Before the gameplay trailer, we also saw the briefest snippet of what seems to be the PS5 UI, with a golden glitter-like sheen.
Revealed at the PS5 reveal event today, a cinematic trailer showed the trademark variety of global locations. This will act as a conclusion for the World of Assassination trilogy.
Tango Gameworks, Shinji Mikami’s game studio, revealed the first gameplay trailer for GhostWire: Tokyo at today’s PS5 reveal event. It’s a first-person spell-casting game where the player uses magic to fight demonic spirits.
GhostWire: Tokyo was first revealed by Bethesda during its annual E3 showcase last year. However, aside from a cinematic trailer gameplay details were not shared at that time.
