Demon’s Souls Announced As PS5 Launch Title; Releases November 12th
Demon’s Souls has been officially confirmed to be releasing alongside Sony’s PS5 which was announced today to be launching onNovember 12thand will be priced at $69.99. This comes as no big shock since it was already predictedDemon’s Soulscould be a potential launch title but this is great news for fans.
What’s also interesting is that Sony has now confirmed that Demon’s Souls won’t be coming to PC or any other console, as it is aPS5 exclusive. This might be a little confusing to those who expected it be coming to PC, according to a report byKotakuwho asked Sony directly, the trailer previously uploaded stating Demon’s Soul would be coming to PC and other platforms was incorrect. It reiterated it would only be coming to PS5.
This will give fans another reason (if not their major reason) to be picking up a PS5, as this title remake has been highly anticipated by fans.
