During a recent interview, Hidetaka Miyazaki has shared a comment about a possible Demon’s Souls remaster.
Fans have been waiting news about such remaster for ages, since the game’s the only one in the series that’s solely playable on PS3 and not any other modern platform.
Interestingly, Miyazaki claimed he’s open to the idea that the game could be remastered by another studio, although he doesn’t want to directly work on it.
“It’s like when you write – when you’re younger, you look back on [previous work] and you think ‘Oh, goodness what was I thinking,’” he told Game Informer.
“It’s not that I’m embarrassed, I just don’t like to look at my previous works,” he added before commentin that Sony would’ve to look at it: “you’d have to see what they’re thinking about it.”
Then, he shared the idea that the game could be remastered by an external developer outside of From Software.
“If it was a studio that really loved the original work and really put their heart and soul into realizing it again, then that’s something I would enjoy. But it’s really complicated because I have these fond memories.
Thinking about the idea of a remaster gives me kind of butterflies in my stomach and makes me a little nervous, so it’s complicated.
But I understand there are many users and many players and fans out there who really love Demon’s, so if that’s something they could accomplish with a studio that loved the work, then yeah, I’d be okay with that.”
A Dark Souls remaster was recently released for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, and was handled first hand by From Software, at least for the main platforms.
