A new gameplay trailer for Demon's Souls on the PlayStation 5 came out today. In it, we get a look at some of the bosses you'll be squaring up against in addition to a number of the gorgeous looking locations that you'll be dying in.
The trailer takes us back to Boletaria and the "barren lands" of Stonefang. This is one of the five distinct locations within Demon's Souls. Those who are used to playing the original release will recognize foes such as the Armored Spider and Flamelurker.
All of these enemies, and more, will be yours to battle against when Demon's Souls is released on November 12.
Here, deep beneath the ground, cursed miners feverishly dig for the bones of ancient dragons, vast caverns of molten lava keep the weapon forges of Stonefang lit, and the sound of hammer on anvil never ceases.
While our previous trailer showcased gameplay from the very start of the game, where a sword and shield may suffice, Stonefang provides greater perils. In these tight tunnels and molten caverns, even the environment is your enemy. You will need to adapt to the situation, understanding when to press your attack at close-quarters and when to punish your enemy from afar. Even so, skill and reactions have their limits, and proper equipment and preparation could be the difference between victory and defeat. And remember that whatever the outcome, every death has meaning and will make the eventual success all the sweeter on your journey to become the Slayer of Demons.
