Demon's Souls: Sony will provide over 180 video guides

The upcoming remake of Demon's Souls, as well as the original, will surely be quite difficult for both experienced gamers and new gamers to the games Souls, but Sony announced that one of the new features of PlayStation 5 is designed to help players navigate the treacherous world of Boletaria. Demon's Souls players who struggle with a boss or can't figure out how to advance will have access to more 180 video guides in the new activity bar of PlayStation 5, which will give hints to players depending on where they are in the game without anticipating the more advanced stages.

The activity bar is a significant addition to the PlayStation 5 and is one of the many ways Sony is attempting to simplify the experience for its users in order to keep their eyes on the TV screen, instead of looking for an answer on a phone or computer. In addition to the video guides, players will be able to find out how far they have progressed in the game via the activity bar, including how much work is still required to obtain the rest trophies. With the fast SSD of PlayStation 5, the transition from game to menu also appears to be particularly fast, which will encourage players to check the bar without the fear of having to wait for whole minutes to load. This hint system will be a huge resource for new players that will allow them to understand the darker aspects of the title without changing the original vision of FromSoftware.

Demon's Souls remake was developed by Bluepoint games (who have already done the remake of Shadow of the Colossus) and promises to be fairly faithful to the original version for PlayStation 3 FromSoftware in 2009. The title will be released on November 12 in North America and Oceania and November 19 in the rest of the world, in parallel with the two launch dates of PlayStation 5.
