Rumour: FromSoftware Classic Getting the Remaster Treatment

Give the people what they want

While Bloodborne fans continue to writhe in agony, it appears that the Bandai Namco-published, FromSoftware-developed modern classic, Dark Souls III, could be getting the remaster treatment. That's if the rumour mill is to be believed.

This one comes to us by way of insider Nick "Shpeshal_Nick" Baker, so take it with the appropriate amount of salt (thanks, PSLS). Released almost nine years ago on PS4, we could certainly see Bandai wanting to go back to the well; whether FromSoftware has time for that sort of thing these days is another entirely.

Further, it's just close enough on the developer's release timeline to further aggravate Bloodborne fans, a situation which has passed beyond parody. As one wag on Reddit put it: "This [rumour] might actually be true because it doesn't say it's Bloodborne".

I would 100% get behind a remastered DS3. Regarding Bloodborne, I'm guessing Sony owns the car but Fromsoftware still has the keys lol. How have they not cashed in on the remaster that everyone has asked for, but remastered a game that no one asked for?

Ohh, a remaster of a game already avalible on modern systems. What a novel idea.

A quick buck is a quick buck I guess. But would prefer if they dug into their backlog and gave us some King's Field or Armored Core goodness.

Honestly not a game I’ve replayed once. While 2 is massively divisive, I’d say that it at least doesn’t feel as safe as 3 can feel, despite it obviously being a fantastic game.

Played it for the first time this year and it still looks fantastic. No need to remaster anything other than bloodborne

My least favorite souls game. Yeah, you read that right.

Meanwhile, Bloodborne languishes in 30fps, bad frame pacing purgatory.

I guess this will be fine for bringing back the playerbase but other than that I'm not exactly seeing the point of this? We already got 60fps out of it on current gen systems.

Still don't understand the desire to remaster games perfectly playable on current gen (with an exception only made for Bloodborne 😛). Let's get some remasters of fantastic games rotting away on the PS3!

@Balaam_ Pretty much my second favorite game with Bloodborne being first. DS2 being my least favorite.

If it's not on par with Demon's Souls it's not worth it. Bloodborne needs to happen though, Wake up Hermen/Sony!!!

Ah, Dark Souls 3. Not as good as Dark Souls 1 but still much better than any game FS made after. A remaster would be cool I guess. Unnecessary since it can already be played on ps5 but that never stopped game devs before.

Count me in. I love my dark souls games. A remaster of the 2nd game would have been preferable personally and of course bloodborne is right up there but it's never going to happen and I just can't play that game as it stands. 30fps I can stomach but the frame pacing just adds insult to injury.

Another game that really does not need a remake. Absolutely sick to death of this now! So much wasted resources when people are crying out for new games.

That would be the most unbelievable waste of resources for such a high profile IP I can think of. And I'm not just saying that because I just platinumed the game this year

I'm playing through Dark Souls 3 and honestly it doesn't need a remaster, the game still holds up really well. I feel like 2 could use a remaster then 3.

Honestly we need a remaster of Bloodborne and Demon's Souls Remake on PC.

@Northern_munkey but DS2 is already remastered on PS4, it is Scholar of the first sin.

@Blacksmith1985 I'm aware of that but it was not a significant improvement over when it first released. I bought DS2 on the pc when it launched and then I bought the remaster on the ps4 and other than the included dlc and very minor cosmetic changes there was hardly any difference. A full remaster or remake would be nice.

@Northern_munkey power outages after recent russian massive bombing of Ukraine energy infrastructure. lots of dead people on the streets of Odessa, because russian missile with cassette warhead fall into the middle of the city.
other than that, we are surviving and hoping to pass this winter without even more severe damage for the infrastructure.

@Northern_munkey and also Sony is late with bringing PS5 pro to Ukraine. It is embarrasing, ahah.

Not sure if Bloodborne remake would make sense considering it only released last generation, but an enhanced/fixed version for PS5 would be appreciated. Anyway, they should give Souls games remakes/remasters to Bluepoint, they did a great job with Demon's Souls.

Errr according to Wario64, Sony is in talks to acquire Kadokawa which owns 70% of FromSoft. Sony already owns 14%. Can’t see anyone reporting on this!

Dear PushSquare team, please make the following poll. I‘m highly interested in the opinion of the people here.

Why do you think is nothing known about a Bloodborne Remastered for PS5 so far?

1) Remastered announcement incoming! (TGA, 10th anniversary, …)
2) Stuck in IP hell
3) Saved for PS6 release, similar to Demon‘s Souls
4) Sony doesn’t see enough value in that game for the effort

We don't need remasters of From games we need remakes. Keep on giving me remakes of the same quality that we saw in Demons Souls and I'll keep buying them!

Dark Souls Remake, Dark Souls 3 Remake, Bloodborne Remake... hell, I'd even buy a Dark Souls 2 Remake!

But remasters are just not exciting.
