Demon's Souls

Demon's Souls is a full remake of From Software and PlayStation's PS3 original classic from the development teams at Bluepoint Games and PlayStation Studios. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Demon's Souls completely revitalizes the game that started the "souls" formula as players take on the role of a lone warrior on a quest to slay the most powerful demon from the beginning of time, The Old One. Players can also invade other's games and slay them or work co-operatively to face the great threats of Boletaria together.
