Dark Souls 3 Remaster Currently In Development, Says Insider

New reports point to FromSoftware's Dark Souls 3 receiving the remaster after its sequels received remasters a few years back.

tech4gamers.com

As reported by insider Nick Baker, a Dark Souls 3 remaster is currently in the works. According to Nick Baker, there is a bit more to this report, but he is unable to share additional details at this time.

If true, this remaster should be quick and easy enough for a skeleton crew to do it.

Inb4 people will still think that From are using their primary resources to do it though.

 

[Danjin44]

I wish they would remaster their pervious Armored Core games.

 

[IAmRei]

oh dang, that's also my fave action rpg games

 

[Kronark]

The remaster culture is getting crazy out of hand... Dark Souls 3 looks pretty damn good. Hell you could probably take some DS3 screenshots and tell people they're new leaked Elden Ring DLC and they'd probably believe you.

 

[Kurotri]

Best Dark Souls imo.
Also you know it's true since it's not Bloodborne lol

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Interesting...lol. I'm a Souls fanatic, love DS3 , it's just not needed. INB4 BB rage (will buy it).

 

[GHG]

My initial reaction:

Vs my actions when it actually releases:

So I guess that's why.

 

[kubricks]

I know things can always be improved but... Does DS3 really needs one though?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Anything but a new game.

Spare me the commentary on "it's not necessarily taking away from new games!" That argument is basically a remaster at this point, too.

 

[Gonzito]

That would be awesome. Dark Souls 3 did not have any anti aliasing so a remaster would be great to fix this.

 

[Blank Space Invader]

Dark Souls 2 Remaster or bust, I say.

Come at me, Sun Bros.

 

[Puscifer]

Anything but a new game.

Spare me the commentary on "it's not necessarily taking away from new games!" That argument is basically a remaster at this point, too.

I mean let's be honest, it's to sell people shit on consoles to experience PC versions all over again. I truly believe the only reason GTA 5 RT didn't get a PC port is because there's no way you're going to sell that stuff to PC owners for 50 dollars.

 

[DenimDevil]

If they're gonna remaster it like Dark Souls 1 I'll pass.

 

[Stu_Hart]

Anything but bloodborne, yes?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[March Climber]

If they're gonna remaster it like Dark Souls 1 I'll pass.

They're going to give the DS3 remaster the lighting system that DS2 was supposed to have.

 

[MMaRsu]

Wat. Why ffs

 

[Hypereides]

I legit wonder what's keeping them away from doing a new King's field follow up. Would be a nice addition to diversify their portfolio.

Sadly, most folks will ignore your comment. Its true. People seem to think these things are just "copy-paste" one-and-done projects. They're not.

 

[Kataploom]

I actually want a dark souls 1 remake with 3 improvements and Elden Ring graphics quality

 

[_Idea_of_Evil_]

Unnecessary, but still interested if true.

 

[HRK69]

 

[FunkMiller]

Yes. Because that's the fucking Soulsborne game we all wanted updated.

 

[rofif]

Sure I would take it.
But remaster all 3 games. Ds1 have bad remaster, ds2 needs a remaster to add original lights, ds3 looks amazing and can look even better? No problem with that. It’s only 1080p on consoles anyway.

 

[rofif]

Ds3 looks better than elden ring. But only on pc. PS4 version is 1080p no anti aliasing.
It needs a remaster

 

[Nickolaidas]

That would be awesome. Dark Souls 3 did not have any anti aliasing so a remaster would be great to fix this.

Yup. It currently has the worst aliasing of any FROM Souls game on PC.

 

[bitbydeath]

This guy knows nothing.
Probably saw my post about remastering all three souls games and ran with it.

 

[SJRB]

Sounds like nonsense to me.

 

[skneogaf]

I like to play dark souls 3 at 8k dsr to 4k, it looks very good.

I'd like to see hdr, ray tracing, dolby atmos and other modern things from elden ring incorporated in the remastered version.

I'll buy the collector's edition if one is released fir sure!

 

[M1chl]

My favorite DS, so I guess I am down

 

[xenosys]

If the Horizon Remaster from a 2017 title was nonsense, this is equally so.

 

[Bartski]

Sure why not

 

[yansolo]

they should remaster the demon souls remake, its been out too long

 

[RoboFu]

Switch 2 version.. I am in

 

[Kamina]

If they take the animations and gameplay from Elden Ring then i’m all game.

 

[keefged4]

Yeah I'm in. Love DS3.

 

[Jack Videogames]

The one that needed a remaster the least

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

If it gets the Demon's Souls treatment, count me in

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Last time I checked (today), DS3, a 8 years old game, is still full price on the Xbox store (currently on sale at 50%, but…).
It’s pure robbery for such an old game that, to my knowledge, runs at 900p. So yeah, remaster it and sell the remaster at a reasonable price.
BTW, Dark Souls 1 Remastered is still €40 and never goes on sale below 50%.

I legit wonder what's keeping them away from doing a new King's field follow up. Would be a nice addition to diversify their portfolio.

They aren’t the world’s biggest studio and Souls is their current cash cow.
Why would they invest in a forgotten IP that’s extremely niche?
The only times you see King’s Field mentioned is on forums, or in online pieces about Souls where the pundit of the day wants to flaunt their knowledge of FS games before they were cool.

 

[DavidGzz]

Easy money. I mean... Just put "from the makers of Elden Ring", in the trailer and all the new fans that have only played Elden Ring will bite. 10 mil more sales for the best Souls game.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Can I get a remaster of the DS2 remaster? Done by Bluepoint?

If it gets the Demon's Souls treatment, count me in

This! But for DS2.

 

[Moonjt9]

I love dark souls 3. But it plays flawlessly on the ps5 and on the pro it looks almost 4k. A remaster is not really needed imo.

 

[Thief1987]

The remaster culture is getting crazy out of hand... Dark Souls 3 looks pretty damn good. Hell you could probably take some DS3 screenshots and tell people they're new leaked Elden Ring DLC and they'd probably believe you.

Only if you are blind. It was pre-TAA game so it has terrible IQ.

 

[Bojji]

It's already 60fps on PS5 (but 1080p) and 4k 60 on pc. There is one little game that needs remaster treatment much more called... BloodBorne

 

[Danjin44]

I love dark souls 3. But it plays flawlessly on the ps5 and on the pro it looks almost 4k. A remaster is not really needed imo.

I agree, it same with Sekiro which plays flawlessly on PS5.

I want remaster of games you can’t play on modern system like Armored Core games.

Armored Core series finally got new life thanks to 6th game, it’s time bring capitalize on that.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

We’ve had almost nothing but cross-gen games for four years, and now that we are finally starting to break away from that, we get a flood of “remasters” from last-gen.

What the hell is going on?

 

[rm082e]

If true, this feels like I'm being trolled...

 

[Zug]

They'll do absolutely everything to not remaster Bloodborne.

 

[acidagfc]

If the remaster removes online covenant achievements, I might even platinum it, lol.

 

[justiceiro]

Isn't 2 the one that needs the most? I mean, it was PS3/360 game, right?
