Dark Souls 3 rumoured to be getting a remaster

Dark Souls 3 marked the conclusion of FromSoftware’s excellent hardcore action series. Released back in 2016, the game still holds up technologically – appearing quite similar visually to the likes of Elden Ring. Interestingly however, it seems as though a remaster of the 3rd entry is currently in the works.

As reported by known leaker ‘Shpeshal Nick’ during the most recent episode of the Xbox Era podcast: “what I have heard is that we are getting a Dark Souls 3 remaster.”

Apparently, that’s not all, with Nick teasing that “I did get a little bit more than that but I'm not allowed to pass that on or mention it.”

While Dark Souls 3 could certainly do with a facelift on PlayStation and Xbox, the PC release remains solid (well, as solid as any game running on FromSoftware’s engine can be) and so to choose to remaster 3 before Dark Souls 2 would be an interesting move.

Admittedly, Dark Souls 2 already got a remaster with the release of the Scholars of the First Sin edition, however unlike DS3, it never got a PS4 Pro / Xbox patch and so would benefit more from a refresh when compared to 3.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see what FromSoftware winds up doing with the Dark Souls series, especially now that Elden Ring and its DLC have been released.
