During the big PS5 Future of Gaming event last June, Bluepoint Games revealed that a remake of 2009's Demon's Souls is in development for the PS5. Moreover, Demon's Souls is expected to come out alongside the release of the PS5 on November 12, making it one of the launch titles of the next-generation consoles.
Now, Sony has announced that it will release the soundtrack to the Demon's Souls remake on digital platforms on November 26. However, for those who like their music in physical form, a CD will also be released shortly after, and vinyl collectors will be happy to know that pre-orders for that edition will begin in early December. To hype up players for the upcoming game and its soundtrack, Sony released a video that showed some behind-the-scenes footage on the making of the music of Demon's Souls.
The game's music team reimagined the original score composed by Shunsuke Kida by adding new arrangements that were prerecorded at Air Studios in London, with 120 musicians performing the score. Of course, the remade soundtrack is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything new coming to the Demon's Souls remake. Just yesterday, Bluepoint Games described in detail all the enhancements Demon's Souls players should expect in the upcoming PS5 remake that differentiates it from the original.
Moreover, for players who are wondering whether the remake will be faithful to the original game, Bluepoint revealed that authenticity is a major priority at the studio. This is the reason why players will not see any difficulty options in Demon's Souls, given that the original title was famous for having brutal gameplay that does not offer any way to turn down the difficulty.
Demon's Souls will release on November 12 exclusively for the PS5.
