My fellow soulslike fans, brace yourselves because there might be a remaster of one coming soon. No, it isn’t Bloodborne (even if we’ve prayed for that for years). Instead, it seems that new information points to a Dark Souls 3 Remaster being already in development. As always, take this with a grain of salt, as it is only a rumor, but if it turns out to be true, many people already seem disappointed. Yes, there will also be a few excited people who want to play this masterpiece again, but so far, the consensus is that many deem this “unnecessary.”
According to Shpeshal Nick, during the recent
What I have heard is that we are getting a Dark Souls 3 Remaster.

Of course, it didn’t take long for the information to start circulating online, and to everyone’s surprise, many were not that excited about it. Looking at the r/PS5 subreddit, the general reactions have not been too positive.
r/Bloodborne will be put in suicide watch, if this is true.

This first one hits right in the feels, as we’ve all been waiting for a new version of Bloodborne. It is still stuck in one console limbo, and we’ve even gotten a racing game inspired by this soulslike before an actual remaster or a remake. Others think that a game that launched in 2016 doesn’t really need a remaster, especially when there are others that could actually need that treatment.
Seems pointless to me. As always I’d rather have something new, especially over a remaster of something this recent.

Ultimately, this is all a rumor right now. Still, I have to join the train carrying the not-so-excited-about-it passengers. Dark Souls 3 doesn’t really need a remaster. If it happens, fine, we’ll all surely play it. We can all agree that this game is one of the best FromSoftware has created. Still, there are other titles that could use a fresh coat of paint, and Bloodborne is surely one of them. But then again, we’ll all just have to keep dreaming of the day when we’ll see Yharnam in a new light.
