Demon's Souls on PS5 is Reportedly Using the Shadow of the Colossus Engine
Bluepoint Games may be synonymous with high-quality remasters and remakes, having previously done work on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, but it was 2018's beautiful remake of Shadow of the Colossus that really catapulted the studio to fame, and among one of Sony's most talented developers. Earlier this year, they announced that they would be remaking From Software's iconic Demon's Souls, the PS3 title that kickstarted the Souls franchise as we know it today. So far, the bits of gameplay shown has been quite impressive, reflecting how a true "next-gen" title should look and play. However, some tweaks to an old engine lines the upcoming remake.

According to Lance McDonald, who has a history working on several From Software mods, has apparently seen new gameplay from the upcoming Demon's Souls remake. While he didn't comment any further about it, he briefly explained some gameplay features. "When you run, the player character is almost dead centre and the camera is zoomed out basically the same as PS3," said McDonald. "When you walk, or stand still, it comes in close and seems a little offset to the right." However, he dropped another bombshell too, stating in a recent tweet that the Demon's Souls remake is using parts of the Shadow of the Colossus remake's engine. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as Shadow of the Colossus remains one of the best-looking games on PS4, and the upcoming Demon's Souls remake may set a decently high bar for the PS5's capabilities too.
McDonald also revealed that something called "Fractured Mode" was intended to be in the game, though also stated that he had no idea what it was meant to be in the context of the remake. "Oh and I don't know what 'Fractured mode' was ever intended to be but there's also no mention of that. No idea if it's still a thing, but I've seen nothing about it at all," said McDonald. If it is a bit of cut content, we may likely never know or see that content in action - though some fans speculate that this mystery mode could be added later down the line as a free update. Nonetheless, still take all of this with a grain of salt as it does not come directly from Sony or Bluepoint, but we won't have to wait long now as Demon's Souls is just a few weeks away from launch.
Demon's Souls releases on November 12th, 2020 exclusively for PS5.
