Demon\u2019s Souls<\/em> and its subsequent three Dark Souls<\/em> games have a bit of a reputation for being some of the hardest games of recent times. That could have all changed for the PlayStation 5 remake of Demon\u2019s Souls<\/em>, as port specialists Bluepoint Games considered including an Easy Mode to make the game more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re picking the game up alongside your shiny new PS5 today you\u2019ll find that the feature has been omitted from the final release, to retain FromSoftware\u2019s original vision for the game. Creative director Gavin Moore said the following to The Washington Post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
